So I know that I am sick and all, but I was not bedridden. So my natural inclination was to "shake it off" and go about my normal life. I actually did okay both nights. But I am paying for it.

The UCLA Animation Fall Screening was Friday night. I wasn't feeling well, so I left work early and took a nap. I got up and went to the screening and afterparty. I was DD because I wasn't going to drink. Well, I wasn't suppose to anyway. Rob gave me the new Skyy blue drink (kinda like Smirnoff Ice) and I tried it. Not bad at all, less acidic but really sweet. So that mixed with Dayquil, woohoo! It was fabulous. it's not like I did it intentionally or anything, but it was nice for a while and I forgot that I was sick. There were a lot of new faces there, mainly the first years. It's so strange to think that Josh is on his last year of school (if he finishes his thesis) already.

On Saturday, Josh and I watched Outfoxed. It was quite excellent and I forgot how much I disliked Bill O'Reilly. I'm glad that the sex scandal put him in the spotlight for a while. He totally deserved it. I never liked Fox News anyway. I hope you guys get to watch it sometime soon, it's not too long and it's a fascinating look at conservative television and media. I actually borrowed it from Rox, my old boss at Orientation, and if you know her at all, she would definitely want others to watch it.

Later that night, we went to Mike P's Pirate and Princesses party in Hollywood. What a night! A lot of friends were there. Nate, Lisa Lum, Amy, Angela, Wynne, Alexis, Josh, James, Mike, Kurt, Tripp, and Nadja (almost all of my favorite people essentially). We all drank and had a good time. There were boobs galore, Kurt getting his groove on, random hook ups, lapdances, Tripp sleeping on the couch, allergy attacks, and so on. Great fun! Go here to find you Pirate name.

Sunday was fabulous because I spent a majority of the time sleeping. I have a hacking cough and stuffy head. I wasn't feeling too great this morning either, so I called in sick. I don't want to give my cold to any of the patients. I would feel so bad.

So Lisa Lum, called me today and said she just saw Jason Lee at her local market. I've loved him for so long! Oh Banky, how I miss you so. She heard his voice (he was on his cell) and saw him and thought of me. I love my friends and I love Hollywood.
