Update

So the thought has occurred to me, and probably only me, that no one knows what I've been doing with my life as of late. Well, I will belay your fears and provide a little update on the goings-on of Glenn. As most everyone who knows me, knows I moved out of the Las Vegas area to the quaint border town of Laughlin (right on the AZ border 90mi south of LV). This happened almost two years ago, and has obviously put a crimp on my Improv performances: that and the fact that the troupes I was performing with disbanded. Still, I have not given up hope of performing again. I say that, because I keep taking classes with the Second City Training Center, and I keep putting myself out there for auditions. Acting life is slow, however, and the most I can do at the moment is self promote myself through my website. http://www.wnc.edu/~heath I've been busy adding/updating content, and though it's a tedious process, I'm at least having fun.

How am I finding all the time to do this? Quite simply, I am not working at the college anymore. That's how. I quit my "Technical Support Specialist" job at CSN back in August to make more time for my family here. April is working on her Master's Degree, and we agreed that I should be more of a presence here for her and Livie (5th grade/School President/ingenue). It was hard leaving the people at CSN. I really enjoyed the rapport I formed with them, but I do not miss the 3 hours of driving I was doing every day. Still, I keep in contact with my friends there and they still acknowledge me. Which is good. Unfortunately, what is not good is the fact that there is little work around here in the field I've been associated with the past 4 years. I received my fifth rejection letter today for applications sent, and that's not counting all the letters I didn't get. Things happen for a reason, though, so I am not too discouraged.

I'm really hoping things shape up on the acting/performing front. I performed recently with a group of Second City actors for a "Corporate Team Building" company that set up shop in Vegas (Treasure Map). They are developing programs for meeting planners to experience Mars; hence the names "Destination Mars" and "Mars Adventures". We had a lot of fun doing improvisation as a function of the team building exercises put forth in the program, but it is just getting going, and I may not see any more work with that 'til after the new year. By then, however, I'll be taking a new class through the SCTC with Liz Allen (YEAH!), so at least I'll be honing up my skills some more. Add that with a very positive meeting with Tena Hauser (President of Lenz Talent) a couple of weeks ago, and I may just start getting some auditions for real work soon.

So what else is happening? I am trying out contact lenses for the first time. Not too sure about the current prescription, but I am only in the first week phase of assessment. I've been blinking a lot compared to glasses, but I may be able to work that into my charming personality. What else? Long pause as I determine if there is anything else. It's been a couple of minutes now, so there must not be anything else. That can't be it ... can it? How sad. How truly sad. I'm not sure if the tears in my eyes are a result of the contacts or the lack of excitement in my life. Does my right brain know that my left brain is typing my stream of consciousness? Will the WGA ever settle? Stay tuned for more.
