I have been thrown off all day. I had dinner with M last night because she had to do something during our “Tuesday night dinners” and I kept thinking that it was Wednesday today. I hate when that happens. We went to The Cheesecake Factory again (it seems like we go at least once a month) and we had a lot of interesting conversations. One in particular about cunnilingus and the proper etiquette involved (like not falling asleep, ahem) and why people love it or hate it. It’s such a fascinating topic and no one talks about it. It’s a shame. People don’t talk about a lot of things, unfortunately. I always have tons of fun with M. Her life is changing so much for the better with a new roommate and hopefully a new position at work. She’s still juggling boys and trying to figure out what she wants in life that will make her happy. Everyone is pretty much in this stage right now, including most of my friends and me. I know it’s typical after graduating college, but it’s so hard trying to find the things that you like out of life, be it a career or hobby or pretty much anything in life right now. I start my new job in a little over a week and I am still excited about it. I hope that this feeling never ends. Anyway, I went to M’s place to see her new desk. It really is so awesome and I am so proud of M for putting all together herself (with the help of a few power tools). We watched Six Feet Under, which was fabulous, I might add, and then hung out. We then started playing around with the inflatable penis that was on her bed. Please see pictures below. We are so nutty.

I am still training the lady that will be taking over my position when I leave. It’s really hard to remember everything I do, as funny as it sounds. I’m always running around everywhere and it’s hard to explain to her all of the little details and also try to explain the big picture. She seems to be catching on rather quickly, which is great. I feel so out of touch throughout the day though because she is logged onto my computer so I can’t check email often or be on AIM or read the news. I miss the little things. But I am pretty easy to get a hold of, so it’s not a big deal. I just miss the outside world sometimes.

After work, I went to watch Josh’s experimental film class screen their films. Josh’s film was great and he did a fantastic job with the sound. I am so proud of him. Tomorrow, his film from last year, Self-Portrait, will be featured in this year’s UCLA Spotlight Festival. I am ecstatic and looking forward to going.

After the screening, we met up with Nate at BJ’s. His sister, Samantha (who looks like Britney Spears), and her friend, Magda (who looks like Penelope Cruz), joined us. Samantha just moved to Orange County after graduating from GWU in DC. She and Magda are living here for the summer, so I am sure that we will see each other more sometime in the near future. They are so cute! I hope she brushes up on her driving skills because she will need them to survive the streets of LA. She was already honked at and cursed at today, poor girl. Anyway, I am so thrilled that she is close by.

My stomach has been hurting all day. I think it’s because of the super spicy beef salad that I had for lunch yesterday, but it’s still bothering me now, so I am not sure. Argh! It still hurts.

S&TC quote of the day:
Miranda: Why didn't you just get an automatic?
Carrie: I love this car! It goes with my outfit. (Season 3 – Escape from New York)
