Hey guys! I’ve been gone for a while. I’ve been living a sad existence at work. I’ve been working long long hours and have had no real time to do much of anything. Exciting huh?! I did manage to go out a few times, so I am glad for that. I had a presentation on Wednesday night during class and I seemed to have done pretty well. He gave me some pointers and we negotiated a bit. I was nervous throughout the entire ordeal, but he was a hard ass so I had every reason to be. But I am glad that that part is over. I do have to do another round this Wednesday with him to discuss my competitors. It’s going to be interesting and I hope to do well in that. I always get really nervous, but I want to do a good job and get it over with. Woohoo! Yay for class!! I really hope that he goes easy this time around since it’s more conversational than anything.

So I see a lot of famous people in my building, most of which I do not care too much about. Though seeing Jason Lee a few months ago really made my day, really. I love him. I know that only a few people (who I already spoke to about it) will appreciate this, but the wonderful Tom Sizemore came onto my floor and look absolutely disoriented and a bit out of it. I helped him by trying to give him directions, but luckily an assistant came to find him and directed him to where he should be. It was a rather weird experience, with my boss (who was on the phone with NY) saying, "was Tom Sizemore just in my office?" and I nodded and then he yelled into the phone, "Tom Sizemore was just in my office!" It was indeed a funny story.

Not much else to report really. I tried to have some fun this weekend and it started on Thursday night. Angie rounded up some people to watch turtle racing at Brennan’s in Marina Del Rey. We prepartied at Angie’s new condo. It was very nicely decorated and very colorful. I really liked it. Lisa, Marty, Nate and I went and met up with some of Angie’s classmates (from USC of course, but we were all amicable) and a few others like Bank and Justin. It was good times and the races were funny because the turtles had no idea what was happening and they took their time towards the finish line. Booze and turtles made for a great combination and Marty was very amusing that night. It was cute. Lots of fun!

I worked really late Friday night and didn’t do much. Josh and I watch some episodes of Arrested Development Season 2 while eating Chinese food. It’s so funny!! It is really one of the best shows on TV. Please watch it when it comes back in November. Tobias Fünke is my hero! Ramona was in town on Saturday and she had 2 things on her agenda: sushi and drinks. I thought it was a grand idea and Josh and I took her to Kabuki and we had YUMMY sushi. Man I love that place. We went to Dina’s afterwards to preparty and met up with Marshall and Kurt and we went over to Three of Clubs. It was an interesting bar that I’ve never been to. It had a dance floor in the back playing old 80s and 90s favorites primarily and the front was a bar that had a jukebox and played arbitrary music, such as Johnny Cash and whatever else people chose. I think that Andrea and Nate would really like this place, but it’s not for everyone. It was WAY crowded and stuffy though, so we left and went to The Well. The Well was less crowded and a more hipster type of place. Music was a lot better and we stayed there the rest of the night. As we were walking out, Josh and I saw Joey Slotnick, from the old show, The Single Guy, and he was standing next to his very good friend, David Schwimmer, who was wearing a baseball cap. It was weird seeing them there because I figured that they would be at a better, more posh bar. But it was cool. Pictures from most of these events are posted on my Flickr account, starting here.

I need to get back to studying. Whee!
