A Crazy Man and His Sidekick Ace.




Maybe I'll turn that title into a fantastic screenplay. However, I wanted to fill you in on the last few days. There's been a lot happening and I wasn't really able to sit down and write. On Thursday we got to meet Doug Jones! You might know him as the Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth, yeah? I know! Anywho, he was such a crack up in person. When he was talking about a Madonna music video he was in he said that when he saw it the editors had removed his face from the scene. So he said overdramatically, "They just wanted me for my body! Like everyone else....I feel so used." Much laughter followed. He kept almost everyone there listening to him for 3 hours by the sheer magnetism of his personality.

Then Friday we met in our "Expectations" groups with our group staff member and talked and had lunch. It was delightful. Afterwards I ran out to Costco and got ripped off at Best Buy and made my way back to Park La Brea shortly after the sky was black. Note to self: Do not go to that Costco again. The route was very deceptive, it was only like 7 miles away but I'm pretty sure with the streets I was on 2 miles= 20 minutes. Oh LA, and yet I still love thee.

Friday evening my roomies and I and some of the guys went out to The Grove and to the Farmers Market and then we all gathered back at our apartment to play Quelf and chill. It was a blast and I got to know some people I hadn't really spoken to.

Today I slept in, made pancakes and eggs for breakfast, and then worked on a few things before heading out for our tour of the Kodak Theater. The Kodak Theater was a cool place to visit and the driving group I was in was a lot of fun. Now I'm working on writing and listening to my Howard Shore Pandora station. I wonder how much that will affect my writing. Here we go. : )
