Me, the BirdFrog.

Today felt really good. The warm up was surprising. I was expecting the popcorn the moment we started jumping, and then all of the sudden we were hummingbirds and frogs and birdfrogs and it was fantastic. I had more luck with the mother pheasant plucker today, though I'm hesitant to say it any faster.

Family portraits were interesting. I enjoyed the pirate-ninja reference, and the general dynamic of opposites. Going over the three points of acting was a joyous moment. Although, it is making me detest my high school drama teachers (though not really; they have to conform to a pointless set of quotas demanded by a useless administration, thus the unavoidable issue of not being able to teach us anything of longstanding value). The points were simple and memorable, and when I plug those into performances I see by my favorite actor(s) I can definately see how they could have/likely did use them to some extent. The only one of those points I had in my head from somewhere behind me on the road was reaction, though I simply recalled it as Listening; I've not been competent with preparation before, but there's no better time to start. And I really appreciated the explanation of how to go about structuring the objectives. Thank you, Ian.

Having done viewpoints in the past, I thought I could possibly maybe perhaps remember all of them--this was not the case. I'd forgotten half of them. At least--I can't even remember how many I forgot. Another thank you, because it was an excellent thing to refresh and I slap myself for forgetting.

I liked the difference the blocking had when I was physically involved in it, and I hope to be able to stay as involved tomorrow and beyond that when not actually running it. I got the chance to talk to Alex about R # 2 and know that discussion won't be over for quite some time, and it's nice to be able to draw from another take on Richard, to see him from another point of view. It's been a great experience so far.
