Day Eight: Ups and Downs

Today was a weird day of extremes.

It started with my toenail finally falling off. It had been threatening to do so for at least a month now, thanks to running so much, but today it just came quickly and painlessly off when I poked at it. I feel like a real runner. I hope it comes back.

Also, The Downgrade was made public today. Even though I had known for some time and no one seems to approve or even care, it was still saddening.

On the bright side though, I finally got a call from an agency asking me to come in for an interview. Several improvisers I respect are signed with this agency, and it's not Vinny's Talent Shack in the suburbs or anything, so I have allowed myself some cautious excitement. We will see what happens.

I also had a triumphant return, after our day off, to being a slut in the 10 PM game of Hesitation. This time Mike graciously gave the gift of looseness rather than the audience, but the streak is still alive and well. Just one more 10 PM show and it's a solid run of sluts. I can do it!
