I need to memorize lines and FAST!

I got some stuff done today:

1) My first batch of laundry since being back in NYC. (That’s 3 weeks of laundry for anyone that’s counting.)

2) Shot some stuff for the web series with Lorraine. (She’s awesome sauce.)

But, I really needed to work on memorizing some lines today. We have to be off book by Friday, and I haven’t been putting nearly the amount of effort that I should have into it. I just kept procrastinating and catching up on YouTube and Hulu and basically doing everything I could so as not to memorize lines.

Every time I get a part in some production, stage or otherwise, I always tell myself, “This time, you won’t fall into the habits of lazy actordom, like most actors do. This time, you will memorize things quickly and not procrastinate.”

I succeed in this over half the time…

But, this has not been one of those times…

The fact that I’m even writing this right now is double proof that I’m procrastinating. Heck, I need to be in bed right now. I have to be up in 7 hours.

Looks like someone will be studying lines on the subway tomorrow morning on the way to rehearsal.
