Getting off book!

It's blah and raining here in NY today, but springy and warm, so I won't complain. At the moment, I am successfully avoiding my homework of memorizing 2 pages of Fifty Words. This is day 3 of my memorization plan, 2 a day and in 22 days I will have the whole play memorized. How hard is memorization, you may ask? I think it's very different for everyone and for me it totally depends on the character. Does she speak like I do, or are her rhythms, responses and language completely different from my own. Well, this time I am lucky, Jan is different from me, for sure, but I get her and what she says makes sense to me. Phew.
Last year I worked on a Pinter play for class, A Night Out, my character was an East London prostitute in the early 60's, she didn't stop talking and nothing she said, was anything like what I would say. I loved the challenge of the part, it was incredible and really fun, but making the words stick was tough and I hated the feeling of struggling for lines. Now I get off book (actor talk for memorize) as soon as I can, so I can play.
Thanks for listening, I have talked myself into doing my homework! Yippeeee!!!
