The sleep deficit had to be worked off, so I set my alarm for 1:20pm today. I could have set it for 1:00, but the deficit was looming large. 2:00 would have been greedy.

My phone sleeps on the night table just beside my dreamy head.

Murphy’s Law kicked in at around 10am when someone phoned in regard to the ad I had placed in a local magazine looking for actors for the next play I’m directing. I don’t remember the person’s name, but I have it written down on some random scrap of paper. Somewhere.

10:30 – Jan called asking for directions. She was out in Sabadell looking for one of the dubbing studios that I normally work at. They finally got around to calling her for a job. She had to do the voice of a little piggy girl. Yes, it was a cartoon.

Ed called at 11:00 to tell me about an amazing park in Barcelona that no one knows about and may be the perfect venue for my upcoming wedding. He’ll call back tomorrow after he has a meeting with the owners.

Another dubbing studio called me at 12:00 to see if I was available to come in this very afternoon to record an “emergency” trailer. It seems like most things at this studio are emergencies (meaning they have to be done TODAY). They like the work I do and they know that I don’t have a full-time job so I’m usually available. And so I have become the go-to guy in these emergency situations. Trailers are great: they take about 15 minutes to record and I walk out of there about 100€ richer. That’s why I leave my phone on.
