It was bittersweet having my last class last night. Part of what I love about I.C.'s studio is the people and it is going to be strange not going there every Tuesday. Some of my best friends out here, I met there. And my last scene was a good learning experience, too. I am going to miss class but I am also going to enjoy my break. One thing is for sure, I've grown so much since working with I.C. and I'm looking forward to where this growth will lead.
So what will today bring? The acting world is quieting down for now and I might get some painting done. Fa made a good point in her comment yesterday, that I'm a "person who is an actor," meaning a little diversion from the main topic now and then is ok. I'm going to try and meet up with a friend from class, E., who is lending me Water For Elephants. I've heard really good things about this book and right now it is being made into a movie with Reese Witherspoon, Sean Penn and Robert Pattison. I love reading books and seeing the movies they've made based on them. The movies are never as good as the book; that is pretty much a rule. I probably should do it the other way around - see the movie then read the book - so I'm not so disappointed. But then I'm robbed of the experience of making the world of the book my own. And I love creating that world.
A book that I loved that is coming out in movie form in a few months? Eat Pray Love. Check out the trailer:
Yes, I'll be seeing this.
One last thought: A friend sent an email yesterday and included this quote from Madeline L'Engle, author of one of my favorite childhood books A Wrinkle in Time:
"Why does anybody tell a story? It does indeed have something to do with faith; faith that the universe has meaning, that our little human lives are not irrelevant, that what we choose or say or do matters, matters cosmically."
