I've been working a lot, nothing too drastic or anything like that, but I definitely worked more than 40 hours this week. It's not that bad. I have a penchant for wanting to end the day at a spot where I can easily come back to the next day. It's just me trying to get organized, basically. My desk is all set. I have all of my supplies and my setup is awesome. I really do work well with it the way it is now. I just have to organize all of the old files for my own personal use. Anyway, my company has "Summer Fridays" and it's usually casual and laid back and most people leave early or take the day off. It's awesome. But I actually was finishing up a huge report for one of our clients (which I am about 95% confident in, it's just that I am so new and I have been number crunching all week, so I trust all of the figures, but I always have something in the back of my head that doubts me. I hope it goes away once I have been working there for a while). After the report, I was going to do a lot of the little things that I've been putting off, and I did most of them, but one of my bosses was craving Mexican food, so we went with her. The service was slow, but the food was excellent. My other boss went home and was drinking wine and smoking cigars with others. So we went. I'm not a big fan of red wine, but what he had wasn't too bad and I had 2 glasses. Granted, it was 4pm on a Friday and I had to drive home. It was nice to chat with my coworkers and boss in a nonprofessional capacity. It makes them more human and I am starting to feel more comfortable with them all. I was fine driving though, surprisingly. I usually get drunk faster with wine, but this time was okay. It didn't hit me until an hour later. I was at home and totally crashed for a few hours and took a nap. I was supposed to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with some friends, but I woke up too late. I'm a loser, I know. I need to get used to the entertainment industry and their affinity towards cocktails. I was so browbeaten with the policies about alcohol with my old job that it's such a foreign concept to me and feels weird when I do so now. But I guess I have to get over that. Especially since we have a department outing on Wednesday night and we are going to hit up Hollywood and all of its vices. It sounds like fun and I am looking forward to it.

This weekend is up in the air. I had planned on going to San Diego and meeting up with Josh at Comic Con. Josh currently is without his car and he wasn't sure if he even had a ticket through his old job. He mainly wanted to go and see a presentation that his old coworkers from G7 Animation were going to give on He-man, but that was for today and since he couldn't make it today, I think he is lacking motivation to go all the way over there for the rest of the weekend. It's just as well, I suppose, because I would have left early to go to the funeral. I do know a lot of people that are going, so I am sure I will hear about it all soon. Anyway, that leaves me with a pretty open weekend, sans funeral (which I am thinking will take pretty much all day Sunday). I am not a big fan of funerals at all. I don't think anyone is, except of course, for Harold & Maude. I feel so distant from it, sadly. I know that it is a very hard time for his family and my grandma and father are there right now for support. I am going to do my best to support them all as well, but I just don't know how. I am sure I will figure it out once I arrive there. In any case, I wish them all the best during this rough time.

Moving on...I can't believe the wedding is next week already. Yikes!

Carrie: Ooh, with the bracelets and the tiara. I used to love that even her accessories had superpowers. (Season 3 - Hot Child in the City)
