Keeping Busy

Los Angeles. 

getting straight to the point bc I am v late with my post this week (-: 

- Warner Brothers Marketing Rep (v cool to see what goes into marketing for a movie)

- Bachelorette (so close to the end)

- Blue Hats Creative (sidebar #1)

- Jared Leto screening (sidebar #2)

- Office Depot (i spent 70$ on new stuff LOL)

- LabCorp (sidebar #3, insight to my next internship)

- Jimmy Kimmel Live! (sidebar #4)

- The Day Shall Declare It (interesting play but hot as heck!!)

- Star Trek Beyond (mini side bar #1)

- The Giant Forest (sidebar #5)

- Bootie LA pt 2 (mini side bar #2)

- Sunday fails (mini side bar #3)

- Amoeba (sidebar #6)

mini side bar #1: definitely wasn't as good as the other two! Even my boss at work said she thought it was made more for hardcore star trek series fans. 

mini side bar #2: after two and a half months of being here, finally Ryan and I both made it to the club and it was one night for the books

mini side bar #3: we tried to go to the WGA library - closed. we went to the Grove Farmer's Market - we weren't hungry (but we got ice cream!). we never made it to the comic book store. 

sidebar #1: i LOVED hearing about commercials and what goes into being a producer. I've always considered going into being a News EP and then doing commercials in addition. So when Maria pretty much offered a job to anyone who was interested, made me pretty excited. She was even more sincere in her email back to me, and I definitely plan to stay in touch with her. 

sidebar #2: Lucky me, my boy invited me to go to one of Jared Leto's screenings for a mini-series that he did. The event was very classy, but laid back at the same time. I loved both my glasses of wine and my cheeseburger slider :) The mini-series itself was very cool, about rock climbing in Yosemite. A beautiful place. Jared Leto himself seems very laid back also and was pretty funny, keeping the screening light and fun. 

sidebar #3: my internship in the fall for 13WMAZ in Macon, GA requires me to go through a background check and also a drug screening. So i had to run to LabCorp after class and i even had to wait a whole extra hour because i didn't have to use the bathroom when i arrived :) oops

sidebar #4: Jimmy Kimmel Live was so fun! I'd been to a Family Feud taping before so I knew a bit about what I was getting into. What was amazing though was one of the guest speakers... George Lopez. I have loved that guy since I was little. My mom and I would always cuddle in her bed and watch George Lopez late at night on TV, a childhood memory I'll always love. Another guest speaker was Viggo Mortenson from Lord of the Rings. But if I'm being honest, I was never a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings, so I thought George Lopez  was much more entertaining... plus he's a comedian so of course he makes great jokes. 

sidebar #5: absolutely beautiful! the unfortunate situation that became is once we arrived, I got a headache. Which later turned into a migraine. So hiking for 3 miles in the sun was not the best place to be at the time. I tried to keep quiet and not complain about my migraine so I wouldn't ruin the experience for the other people who came with us! But luckily, once we got back to the car, I had some Advil and the migraine became a headache and I slept it off in the car and when we got back. 

sidebar #6: Amoeba music store! This is the second time I've gone, and holy cow I was still overwhelmed. I of course bought more vinyl records and more CD's and I am happy with every cent i spent. Plus, I even got a sticker for my guitar case back home. I wish I had brought my record player so I could listen to the records now, but that just gives me something to look forward to when I get back to Athens. A night with a glass of wine and wonderful music. 

Needless to say, a lot of memories were made this week as well as a lot of money well spent.
