Day In The Life (Naturalism)
(preferably read in an American accent at Fastow speed 'to practise/ implement my voice work for speeches and scenes')
I wake up before anyone else in the house at 5:30, careful not to wake up Lea I'll get into the shower for 20 minutes, using only natural products then brush my teeth for 2 and a half minutes. I use Crest in case you were wondering, it's unlikely you were but 'prepare for everything' y'know! By 6:15 I should be fully dressed and eating oatmeal, just Oatmeal. Anything other than Oatmeal upsets my stomach. 6:30 I'll leave the house and drive to work of course taking proper precautions of course this is the likeliest daily activity to get you killed so safety first. I get to work around 7:15, say hello to janitors, maybe a coworker or two if i catch em on a good day "I can't deal with this i haven't had my coffee!"arghhh hahah- unless of course something prior to this went wrong in which case I'd have had to start the routine again and be a little off schedule. It's usually okay though because markets don't open until 9:30 so my job isn't interesting or even remotely challenging until then because Jefferey has me working retail. I'm okay with retail. Jeff has a plan. No one sees it. But i see it. Loud and clear Jeff, Loud and clear. I get numbers from trading and calculate probability of losses for this trading day and maybe the near future depending on the cooperation or ethic of the traders. Those guys are so far up their own asses, they think they're important, they're just actors in poorly tailored suits. I wouldn't say that to them though, not a confrontational guy. I lose track of time in my work and i may or may not have lunch depending on how it's effecting my efficiency, i might grab a granola bar or something of that nature if I'm feeling adventurous. Trading closes at 5 and i finish up at 6 officially, but i usually stay till around 8 or 9 before i say goodbye to my desk. I'll get home at 8:30/9 and Lea's usually very understanding of my jobs demands though sometimes she seems somewhat agitated but it usually wears off towards the end of the month. Like usually right after pay day. We get ready for bed around 9:30 and sleep at 10 almost on the dot every night.
How it helped - I noted above that i used this to aid my voice work and this proved a good text to refer back to throughout rehearsals just to get into the habit of speaking like Fastow and improve on any notes i was given on y accent.
Writing this helped me to build a voice for Fastow and establish an inner monologue enabling me to more accurately gauge reactions to things that happen to me/things that i see/hear. In writing i picked up on his style of speaking, his humour, mannerism and naivety. It essentially added depth to my characterisation, pushing me to think like Andrew Stuart Fastow and go through what he goes through on a day to day basis however mundane it may be.

Likes and Dislikes (Shakespeare)
Who i openly like: I love Jeffrey Skilling, we just see eye to eye. He has a plan and we're all just a step behind. I believe that if we could live our lives a little more like Mr. Skilling we'd all be happier and healthier people. I wouldn't mind actually being Jeff, even if it was only a day, just to feel the power and perfection running through my veins.
Who i secretly like: I love Jeffrey Skilling... again
Who i openly dislike: I hate traders simply because they are stupid, they are glorified market stall salesmen and most of them aren't even good at it. I pity them, it must be difficult living with such small brains rattling around the insides of a thick skull. They'll cope, or they wont, i don't care. Arthur Anderson he's a negative nancy, he doesn't have the vision that Jeff and i share but it's not his fault. He'll see, I'll make him see.
Who i secretly dislike: Claudia Roe, she didn't do anything to me but she isn't particularly smart and i think i could do her job better than her. She's 90% a pretty face and fair play it's got her this far but i think Skillings beginning to see through it all.
