Brooklyn - Hour 3 of 20

so i have finally made it back to the BK. 40 days and 40 nights in jersey might as well be the great flood. when i arrived home, there was a stack of headshots waiting for me. that makes nearly fifty actresses scheduled to audition next weekend for norway.today. let's hope our perfect Julie is waiting to be discovered.

i did make a brief trip into the city on thursday for a few hours to have lunch with an old friend and my favorite canadian, jeffrey simlett. we had a delicious chinese lunch on 2nd ave and walked around the park. when it's 60 degrees in ny at the beginning of march, everyone and their domenstic help are out and about. we had fun playing the game - 'nanny or kidnapper' as well as 'homeless or hipster'.

i then went to have drinks with the swiss playwright, metin arditi, and gabriela eigensatz, the cultural director from the swiss consulate, at the carlyle hotel. little did i know, it was tea time. i nearly asked billy bush, the annoying guy from that entertainment show, who was sitting at the next table, to pass the sugar. metin, gabriela and i discussed metin's play about the final hours of vincent van gogh's life called last letter to theo. it's a memorizing piece about an artist struggling with his soul. metin said something very beautiful (though everything sounds good with a french accent). he described van gogh as a cactus. There were thorns and scars on the outside, but fresh, fragrant fruit on the inside. hopefully we'll be able to present it in the states in the near future.....

...that is as soon as the madness of norway.today is over and we've has a long vacation. well, i've had a long vacation, since richard is actually on one. off to chicago tomorrow morning. let's hope the weather holds and there aren't any more tornados in kansas. eh, toto?
