So far, so good and it's getting better!

So far this year, everything seems to work out just fine. I feel happy. (I just had to repeat that. :) )

I enjoy my classes, even though biology-teacher turned out to be a scatterbrained elderly woman that should have retired years ago. On the other hand, my fellow students all seem to be very nice (young) people. At 45, I could have been the grandfather to several of them. :)

And now for something different but never the less quite cool...

A few years back I was quite desperate looking for a job, any job, and even signed up on a website where wanna-be actors hang out. I even payed about $20 for a full years membership. I never heard anything during the first year and eventually forgot all about it.

Today I got a very surprising phone call from a young woman, asking me if I might be interested in being an extra! Not just in any movie but in the latest Swedish "Wallander-movie"!

I didn't get if it was in the mini TV-series or the actual motion picture but who cares? This is going to be a load of fun!

The part I'm going to play? A PLASTIC SURGEON!!!!

Hollywood... here I come! *laughing*

*laughing* An actor, I'm not... but still, it's going to be a nice experience to add to everything else. :)

That sounds so cool, PoP!!!

Looking forward to hearing all about this adventure when you get going, Mr. Plastic Surgeon! (Let's hope you won't be a "pissed off" plastic surgeon, though!)

lol ;)

I'm quite bushed so I'll answer everyone at the same time and then you sort out the appropiate things yourself. :)

Thank you and YES, it very cool getting such an opportunity. Not that I long for stardom but now the kids really have something to brag about, even if I'm just visible for a second or two.

But who knows, I might become the next famous bad guy? ;o)
