On Why Deluca Is Not Desmond
Auditioning last night for the role of Katy Desmond in "Mike Burton's Sad Little Life" was one Cristina Deluca.
Overall, there were a couple problems.
First of all, I'm still not sure Cristina was OK with just wandering. I think she's too schedule based a human being to be OK with wandering.. I mean, last night, she did OK because I think she really tried to get into the spirit of wandering.. but could she wander fulltime?
She also paid attention to me, which is, of course, a big problem. Instead of my usual rambling ons, I felt like I had to somehow make my talking interesting because everytime I stopped, Deluca was eyeballing me with her nerdy little eyes with rapt attention. Conversely, when she talked I felt like I had to pay attention cause she had paid attention to me. It was stressful.
Another problem was that when we went into a store for clothes, she actually encouraged me to buy things. Katy is too indecisive for that. Also, I bet she would have let me walk into every wine store I wanted and look at the champagne section without protest.
HOWEVER, there were a couple good points. When we went into Dylan's, she did pick at the candy which reminded me of Katy walking out of a grocery store with a week's worth of food tucked into her pockets... also, Deluca likes gummy things. I love gummy things. I can't remember if Katy likes gummy things because I don't pay attention to Katy.
Deluca also liked drinking. We had beers. That was very fulfilling.
So, long story short.. I'm thinking right now she's got a C+ in being Katy.
Well, to be fair, that grade should be higher, but I think putting it low will freak out the nerd in Deluca so she'll shape up and stop paying attention to me.
