I’ve returned to Los Angeles just in time to take part in a terrifying ritual known as “The Table Read.” I’ve been writing a series of essays, monologues and conversations for the last few months, and today is the day I get to hear how it has all come together… or not. I’ve been told
I have an uncanny ability to remember the awkward, embarrassing or negative things that I do or say. It’s not that I can’t recall positive things– I do. The problem is that I remember the less positive with amazing and excruciating detail. Am I alone in this, or is this just human nature? Do you
