Isn't music great?  Yes. Yes it is.  Have you seen the line up for Pitchfork?  I already have a ticket because it will be wonderful.  Also, I am going to see Ray Davies tomorrow night.  And I love him.  When I hear the Jon Brion music from Eternal Sunshine, my heart expands.  Like its trying to be big enough to hold something so giantly beautiful.  Or maybe its just my brain working harder to try to explain why a series of notes can make me want to cry.  Hmm...

So you should really check out this.  It has some of my favorite music.  And then you should go here and add some music to the playlist.  Or create a new playlist with your name.   I've only added a couple songs to that list, so fill it up.  And don't forget to press save.  If you have trouble signing in, my email is jessiefisher82@gmail.com  and the password for that site is "music".  I want to hear what you are listening to.  What you like.  Music you think I'll like.  Let me know if you've added music.  That website is really fun.  Isn't Vampire Weekend great?  I just heard them for the first time and I like em.  Is there a point to this blog?  Not really.  Just in love with sounds right now.

Oh, ok, I could have a purpose to writing this.  I had my audition for the program at Steppenwolf.  It went well.  It felt kind of anti-climactic.  But I did well.  My monologue felt good, but the scene was a little strange.  Its hard to act with someone who is reading off a page and doesn't feel as emotionally engaged as you are.  And its hard to prepare for that.  But its done and that's good and now I wait to hear.  I got a call the day after my audition from a Chicago number  I didn't recognize.  When I answered, the woman on the phone said "Hi this is --- from Steppenwolf.  This has nothing to do with your audition yesterday."  It was a girl who is directing a show at the Bailiwick Directors Festival and she said Erica Daniels (Steppenwolf's Casting Director and the person who decides if I get into the program) gave her my name.  So she asked me to read this script and see if I was interested.  She said I came very highly recommended.  Which sounds good, but of course my mind immediately assumes that meant Erica gave her my head shot from the list of people she isn't interested in having in the school.  But they don't conflict.  Maybe its a good thing?  Well, I'll just wait and see.

Ok, I love you.  See you soon.
