(Watching Jimmy Kimmel's pre-Emmy show, and much to my surprise, finding it somewhat entertaining. Go figure - I thought I didn't like him.)
I'll be honest - I've got nothing here. I've already told you about my My Name Is Earl audition tomorrow, and that's pretty much the big acting news.
I'm in great shape for tomorrow - I've got my sides (And have a half-dozen different takes on my two lines), I know what I'm wearing, I have the directions...and I'm up for having some serious fun.
Actually, there is something I haven't mentioned, and it's kind of cool - This is not a "pre-read" I'm going in for; it's a "producer session".
They didn't put out a "breakdown" for it. They just called Brett - my manager - and said they'd like me to come in.
So the decision makers, the big boys, will be there tomorrow (Unless they're not - they may just put me on tape and show it to "the big boys"). And if they like me tomorrow, if they really like me, that's the end of the foreplay - I book the gig.
(I think this is the same casting person that called me in for Gilmore Girls a couple years ago - I'll know for sure if/when I see her tomorrow - but if it is her, it's further testament to the power of casting workshops.)
(Time passes...)
Other than the dismal performance of the "reality hosts" at the beginning (And periodically throughout the show) - and maybe the "Laugh-In" reunion (Which made me a little sad) - I'm basically enjoying The Emmys. Maybe more because I haven't gotten to watch an award show "in real time" in years than anything else; I've always been working.
I don't have any particular favorites (Though I'd dig it if Mad Men won for "Best Drama"), so I'm just watching for the intermittent bits of entertainment.
If I didn't have an early day tomorrow (I'm in my last day of training for working at Weight Watchers, something I'm just doing till I get my series), then my "Earl" audition at 2:00, I'd be at Molly and Jen's house right now, watching the show with The Gang.
Which would have been great fun. But I thought it was pretty important that I give myself at least a fair shot at being awake and energetic and rested tomorrow...considering the circumstances.
So in the spirit of that lofty goal, I take my leave of you (Whoever "you" may be).
Wish me luck with "Earl" tomorrow - Cause it won't be the end of the world if I don't book this gig...but it would sure be cool if I did.
(Hey, Bryan Cranston won for Breaking Bad. That's really cool...!)

I thought the "hosting thing" was horrible. I'm even sure the show really "needed" hosting. Why can't they let the presenters introduce themselves? I was disappointed that I missed the "Laugh-In" tribute (stupid DVR). I was thrilled to see Jean Smart win one. I'm a huge fan of hers and she's the only reason I've watched any of "Samantha Who". The biggest surprise of the show for me? Josh Grobin doing the theme songs. That was hilarious and he did a great job!
