I love to work out, but...

This past Tuesday and Wednesday I spent basically two full days doing nothing but exercising. I love to work out, but for two days...needless to say, my legs aren't as young as they used to be. But it was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about the fitness industry and the production of fitness DVD's. It was a very eye-opening experience. Here is a picture of us with the host of the DVD and the spokeswoman for the Idaho Potato, Denise Austin.

And the picture below is with us (Denise's "dance team") and the choreographer Lisa. She is a Reebok Master Trainer and has danced with many dance companies. She is not playing around, and I promise you, this DVD never would have happened without her.

And here is me in the make-up chair. Everyone on the production was wonderful, from the make-up, hair, and stylists, to the beautiful and talented women that were on the production with me. The big bonus: Paid at the end of the day!
They said it will be released in September or October, so let's all get together and eat pizza and popcorn while we watch it!

Worst day ever

Pertinent points:

1. If you accidentally leave your bank card at Kinko's and some loser butthole discovers it, they will completely drain your bank account.
2. Your bank (Wamu) will have absolutely no sympathy and tell you "sorry, Charlie."
3. You will live in the nethermost regions of Manhattan, where the train runs sporadically on the weekends due to construction, and you will spend 3 1/2 hours of your day on various modes of transportation with the crazy homeless guy who kicks garbage cans, smells of urine, and then, OF COURSE, sits next to you on the train.
4. You will take every wrong train possible and end up in Spanish Harlem.
5. You will consider very seriously taking a cab until you realize that your bank account is completely empty thanks to #1 and that the coat check money you earned tonight is your ONLY source of income.

On the upside:
1. Kinko's seemed pretty nice and said they would refund my money.
2. One of the cooks at work sent out an "all raw" dinner for me because he knew I'd had a bad day.
3. I shoot my DVD on Tuesday and Wednesday and meet with some commercial casting directors tomorrow, so that's good.

Sigh.
