From Both Sides Now

So yesterday I watched two very contrasting movies. The first one was Eclipse at the movie theatre (it only cost $2 woo!). It is actually three times better than the first two, which was exciting, but it's still not very good. We came to the conclusion that the movie isn't good, it's entertaining haha. Kristen Stewart didn't look nearly as busted in it as the first two, but she still can't act her way out of a box. I'm just glad I only had to pay $2 to see it.

We then came back home and watched the movie Life As A House. This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. The story is great, the acting is fantastic, and it is beautifully made. If you are in the mood to cry and want to be inspired to live life to the fullest, then watch this movie.

Fairview is going to be quiet with only five people living in it. It still hasn't really hit me that people aren't coming back. It just seems like people are gone on a day off and will be back soon. The more I'm here though the more I just want to move to NYC just to be around these wonderful people. I know I'll ge there eventually, I guess it just will depend where life will take me.

I'm finding it hard in this career path how I'm supposed to find out about job openings. It's different than an actor because they just go to auditions. But there aren't "auditions" per say for musical directors, and things are not posted online nearly as frequently. And no one really ever taught me or told me what I'm supposed to do in this field or how to be successful at it, I've just had to kind of figure it out for myself. Hopefully I'll learn a lot and be able to answer most of these questions at the Goodspeed music directing intensive in January, assuming I'm accepted.
