No News is Good News. Good News is Great.

My Dad used to say, "What's new?"  And I'd usually say, "Oh, nothing."  And then he'd say, "No news is good news!" which I never understood.

So the good news is, despite my honest remarks to a producer about a recent job, I've been informed that I'm allegedly first choice for the role I auditioned for.  The not so good news is that the scheduled shoot has been postponed due to "the star's" scheduling conflict.  The good news is if this moves forward I'll be working on a great project with some big people.  The not so good - well not so bad - news is that I won't be getting paid.  This project is for a great cause that I believe in, so I'll be donating my services.

The good news is I've been invited to opening night of Hair tonight at the Delacorte, and the opening night party afterward.  The not so good news is we've got one spare ticket since the hubs is out-of-town and it seems I can't even give it away.  I've asked at least five people and they're either performing in a show, working, or going out-of-town.  The good news is I'm going with my agent.  The not so good news is I am trying to type this blog with wet talons...just painted my nails.

The good news is I've been feeling pretty good these days.  I was experiencing what seems to be some sort of hypoglycemia or something and it occasionally makes me feel pretty crappy and tired and shaky.  I've realized that I probably don't eat enough so I've been more conscious of eating more.  The great news is, so far I've been feeling a lot better - knock on wood - but unbelievably, I think I've actually lost a couple pounds.  My guess is the weight loss is due to either getting back into the exercising, or the increased calories have increased the metabolism.  Either way, I definitely do not need to be losing any more weight otherwise I will look like a bobble head on a stick.  So I guess I'll just have to eat more.  No problemo.

The good news is a new pilates joint just opened up two minutes from my place.  They managed to cram a bunch of reformer machines into this small studio.  I had a private session yesterday with this fantastic French chick and will probably go back for more.  But will likely sign up for group classes.  The not so good news is it ain't cheap and they've got a crazy system of signing up for class, cancellations, etc.  I get that they need to do that in order to stay in business, but the amount of reading involved regarding all their policies is obnoxious and overwhelming.

I guess really, there's no real news....which is good news?

The good news is I've not had a drink in a little over a week.  The great news is I am definitely having a couple cocktails tonight.  Woo-hoo!!!!!!!!!
