I stayed the night at my dearest friend, Zara's house last night. I have woken up on her incredibly comfy sofa feeling pretty nice. We had a few drinks last night and I didn't think it was a good idea to drive from west Hollywood. Our. Very good friend, Lilly, was back in town. Lilly is an actress who was in a massive blockbuster, had a bit of time where she hasn't been working, but now finds herself jumping back in with a a string of movies about to come out. She is back in town for a costume fitting before she flies off to Russia to shoot. It was really good to see her, but sometimes she seems unaware of the fact that Zara and I are not currently working. She sometimes
tells us that she can't be 'bothered' to do an audition that we have strived to get. Those are moments where Zara and I look each other with deep understanding. Apart from these moments, Lilly is a delight. She is very bright and fun to be around. The three of us and Kingston, enjoyed some wine and cheese before we walked across the road for sushi. We talked quite a lot about Lilly's dramatic life and relationship. She says she has finally realized that she is an 'enabler' to her drug addicted boyfriend. Apparently she has been going to a support group for 'enablers.' I don't know, it seems so hollywood but Lilly seems happy with her new description so let it be.

I woke up early and went for a run. I managed to fit in blow drying my hair and doing
my make-up before making it over to Universal City for my audition. I was auditioning for an Australian character in a TV show. I had already auditioned for it earlier in the year and now they are replacing the girl that they cast. I was disappointed that it was a pre-read. This is when there is no camera in the room. Especially since I had already pre-read on it last round. Weird. I didn't let it annoy me though. I chatted with the casting director. She said I looked so much like my photo.I told her that this may have something to do with the fact that I was wearing the exact same singlet as in the picture. She laughed and then told me that I should wear that singlet to all of my auditions. She also said she loved my dark hair ( remember, I used to be blonde) and that it looked great with my pale skin and blue eyes. We read the scene once and she said she only wanted me to change one line. She liked the rest of it, she said, and just wanted to see it again. So, I did it again. I was hoping that she liked it but I wasn't sure, however we talked for ages and she said I reminded her of Naomi Watts. This seemed to be a good thing, although I was auditioning for a comedic role. I then had a long chatvwith her about her clthes designing career which she did on the side. Even though we made a great connection, I fear it has little to do with whether or not I got the part but I walked out feeling good. I also have two great auditions next week so I am excited. Today we are all of to a producer's house to watch USA v Uk in the world cup soccer. Should be a fun morning. Is it proper? Well, maybe if you don't drink beer before 11am.
