My Baby Is A Pillow.
“You’re sitting in a wheelchair, looking at your premature baby in an incubator, and you’ve just gotten out of surgery, having almost died. Aaaaaand…action.” I fixed my eyes on what I decided was the "incubator". A burgundy throw pillow, on the opposite side of the room. “Take your time with this... I’m going to improv with…
Crybaby.
I went to a callback yesterday for a job that I'm definitely booking because if there's one thing I know about this town, it's that forcing your hair into beachy waves and whitening your teeth with a homemade peroxide solution equals a successful career!
