homesick

Los Angeles.

it was a long week that felt like two weeks or maybe I'm just getting tired//homesick lol here we go: 

- Bachelorette (duh)
- Christine Swanson, MasterClass pt 1 (I think this may have been my favorite MasterClass). 
- Grady Alumni Mixer (sidebar #1)
- Christine Swanson, MasterClass pt 2 (met Darius McCrary and, he's a pretty cool dude)
- SONY studios (doesn't deserve a sidebar, but was still pretty interesting to learn about 4K and SONY cameras)
- Laugh Factory (sidebar #2)
- Friday night wine night Star Trek 2 night lol (sidebar #3)
- Hike to the Hollywood Sign (sidebar #4)
- McDonald's (i'd been craving this for months, so it made the list)
- Hot Tub 
- OutFest (sidebar #5)
- some Deli near the DGA (A++, a BLT never tasted so good)

sidebar #1: this event was well put together and meeting people and making connections was really cool. I think my favorite part was talking to the editor of The Miki Howard Story, Gresh. He had a lot of good things to say and was very eye-opening. He gave me his contact information and said he'd be open to me shadowing him if he is editing anything before we go back home. and that would be amazing. 

sidebar #2: I didn't go the first time around with the rest of the program, so this was my first time. and I'm not gonna lie it was pretty eventful. Howie Mandel made a last minute decision to come up on the stage and we even saw one of the pussycat dolls, Ashley Roberts do her first ever (and probably only) stand-up comedy bit. She said her producers made her do it... which explains the cameras filming that disappeared after her piece. 

sidebar #3: friday night, Ryan cooked me dinner and bought wine for us: we finished the bottle and I think, had a great talk & time on the patio. We tried to watch Star Trek 2 with Kayla, her friend, Gareth and Jordan... but both of us got way too sleepy from the wine and fell asleep half way through. Definitely need to watch the third one before the third one comes out. 

sidebar#4: hiking is hard. hiking 5 miles doesn't sound like a lot but the hills were steep at points and it smelled like horse poop and pee :-) because there were horse tours too lol. the sign itself was pretty cool to see and the pictures we took when we got there and on the way were pretty great!! Ryan took videos of Kayla and I, and those were pretty funny looking back on them haha i was struggling a lot in the beginning. oops


sidebar #5: the first movie we saw, I thought was pretty good. despite the abrupt ending to the volleyball dilemma. the second movie we saw, I thought had a good story to tell, but it wasn't really told that well at all. documentaries can be interesting, and I really enjoy them. But this one, was not done well and didn't do Miss Major's story justice, in my opinion. 

Overall, it was a good week. Everyone in bold were famous people that I saw. So that list is growing and growing. I still hope I see Ellen Degeneres before I leave since her stage and office is next to where I work.
