Sinusitis

Eughh....this is the weirdest sinus infection I have to date. The last time I had a sinus infection, I was 12 and it was all over my cheeks. Left and right. It was soo bad that I couldn't even sleep at night. The pain....the swelling....the post nasal drip. Ewww...
Well this time it's a little different. I think it was caused by my cold and the fact that I had an infected tooth that was removed. It's in the same location. Well, it's right between my right nostril and my cheekbone. It's all swollen and very painful. It only hurts when I smile. :-( The dentist took an x-ray of my teeth and said that I didnt' have any bad ones. The symptoms all point to it being a sinus infection. This sucks big time. Well, I guess it was going to happen since it's been 2 years being out of college and having only had 1 instance where I got health insurance. Maybe I could go to work at Barnes and Noble in Park Slope during the weekends only to get health insurance. I don't have anything to do during the weekends anyway.

But the good news here is that I have been called back from one of my auditions. Yea! I was at the Big Little Theatre and the director wanted me to come back the day after. He wants me to write a few lines for the monologue. Yeah, it's weird and I don't know why. But that's what I'm going to do and he said he'd work with me on it. :-\
The second is for a New York Film Academy Short Film. I'm going to play The Nurse. It's going to be silly madness in this video. It's called "Pregnancy Surprise".
I told my father about this and he had only good things to say to me. He said that it was great news and that he knew I would succeed and that he had confidence in me. His words right there mean more to me than anything I've ever gotten from him. This will definitely be enough to fuel my own confidence when going out to audition and trying to get jobs.

That was my weekend. Oh, and watched Pan's Labyrinth this weekend. In fact, it was on Saturday that I watched it and right in the middle of the movie that's when my sinus infection flared up and I almost passed out from the pain. Never a dull moment in this girl's life. One thing after another. The movie really scared me and yet touched me at the same time. Scary and Sad. I have to say that there is one scene where I think it was just thrown in there for the sake of seeing a monster come to life. It was really unnecessary. I did think the action sequences were done very well. I really shuddered when I saw them shooting people in the head with guns and the blade scene.
