Not much going on, internet. (Not much going on here either, real life)

I got all worried about death and inexistence again, but you already know about that, so I'll skip it.

I did, through a conversation with a friend, (so she did too) stumble upon an interesting concept, the deflation (or weakening?) of social stigmas. The name 'Hitler,' as an extreme example, and swear words as less extreme examples, have all been stripped of their meaning over the decades. Swear words are much more socially acceptable than they used to be. Much, much more. I could go on and on about this honestly, but I'm tired, and suffice it to say that I'm still interested in sociology.

Also, it occurred to me that one should look at an audition not as a chance to get yourself out there and add to your resume, or make money, or whatever, but as a chance to help the director find the right actors for his (or her) show.

I didn't lose a part recently, (actually I got a small part) I was just thinking about it in the van while I was bored. If a director turns an actor down, it's not (necessarily) indicative of skill, or how the audition went, but indicative of the director's vision. The actor didn't fit in the director's vision is all. Still, never know 'til you try.

(That's not to say that skill and the audition are not important :P )
