this time tomorrow i will be living in a Brooklyn. that's right, i am finally moving out. i don't know how long i will actually be there because the lease is up in 6 months and all the other people i will be living with do not know if they want to stay there. so you know, there's that....but in the mean time come say hi.i also listened to an audio book for the first time. it was great, how did i not know about this before. i mean i love reading don't get me wrong, i just really enjoyed this....well i'll just hope it doesn't replance reading for me, cause i actually love to read, that and it is more expensive.i have been off from work this week, so there's that and it has been nice. of course now that i will be in an apartment i have to stay at this job. i don't want to get into it, cause all i will do is bitch and moan yet again.so that's it really, i will be moving all day tomorrow. my room looks sad and empty. i'm excited and a little freaked. maybe more than just a little.hopefully i will survive all this and come out on the other side a better person.cheers Current Location: bedroom Current Mood: anxious

so it happened i turned 25. it was nice, my parents took me out to dinner, and my work friends took me out to lunch. boy do i feel ol....wait no i don't...not when my 92yr old great uncle gives me a call.so the actual day of my birthday i worked a half day, had lunch, bought baking supplies for thanksgiving (the next day) went home had some mexican...it was all good.turkey day itself was whatever...my family is just bizare. i know how original, but there you go. i think i will always feel 7 whenever i am there. it's like some weird time warp whenever i go to my aunt and uncles'.hey, i love movies....i haven't gone to see one in AGES, but i sure love my netflix...wait i've talked about this before. much like how i dislike my job, the idea of going to grad school excites and terrifies me and i just don't know what's out there scaryness. i just want to be in the film world so bad, and it's frustrating to not be doing what you really want to be doing....and of course be able to live.so a lot of people i know have been talking about birthright. i can basically go for one more year....do people have thoughts on a free trip to Israel? i mean free....but Israel, it's never been a place i've really wanted to go to before, but the fact that it keeps coming up....maybe i should take it as a sign. i could leave my job and go....and then just stay over there and travel around....and have that be my grad school. of course actual grad school things are due soon, maybe i should you know actually deal with that, cause hey, i might as well try.so due to the hollywood and broadway strike, they have cancelled our holiday party, and there even though it hasn't been said, there will be no holiday bonus. um whatever. is it wrong that i dream about getting fired cause then it would actually force me to do something else, and get on with it already....it might be the kick i need...since it's so hard for me to actually do anything on my own. sigh is what i have to say.maybe i should do it all over again and go to culinary school....it costs the same, i really enjoy it, and there is no job security when you graduate, so it would be like starting over again.i feel like i have nothing to look forward to...you know? like i just go from day to day, and maybe something will pop up here and there, but there's nothing i can think of....just the small things like parties at 6a....going home for a break...movies with friends....even going out to eat in a group....it's just been a long time since i felt like a part of the group you know? i still have these friends, but no one that close in location.wow that was a little bit of a downer....um holiday blues anyone? hopefully i can get into a spirit, cause things are starting to look really pretty out there.oh i got a new phone and i can finally TEXT...i know i am finally one of the cool kids....so don't erase that weird number from yer phone cause it's totally me just saying hey :)cheers Current Location: the office Current Mood: bored Current Music: the bain of my existance

so after seeing wonderful people in Boston and here in NY, I feel like things are a little bit at a standstill.i have to admit i have taken a serious look at Columbia grad school. basically to become a prof. yes, there are a lot of things standing in the way of this. 1 being grades 2 being money, and 3 Columbia is the dream school, and i honestly can't imagine going anywhere else. that and i was never really close to any of my teachers and don't think i could get a single recommendation. whatever this is a new thought, and i can take my time thinking about it, unless i want to go next year, cause then it's due in January. ALSO, also just to apply is 100 bucks....i mean give me a break with that crazyness.the other week i went to an opening of this off broadway show. Lauren Bacall was there, and then she was at the after party (because her son is in the show). i can now say that i have been at a party with Lauren Bacall. it pretty much made my week.i think i need to kick the job search into high gear. the longer i stay the more work i get, and the more wrapped in things i become. this is not good, i do not want to be an agent. maybe for screenwriters alone it would be cool, but not this. i could be looking at contracts anywhere....but then i wouldn't get to go to openings with Betty.for awhile i was looking at apartments. that stopped. not good, i want out of the apartment. i want a lot of things. my weight has gone up as well. la dee da. i have no halloween plans. i'm a little sad about it, but at the same time i'm also happy to be able to look back at having the best halloween's ever be in my college days. cause what's one more happy memory? i will be watching awesome B movies on the turner channel, just reading the descriptions they sound AMAZING.i will be seeing more free theatre tomorrow, i really shouldn't complain that much about the job, cause the perks are good, it's just the boss, but i don't think i'll find anything good until after the holidays.i have a lot of work to do, but i would rather write in my LJ.so um grad school, yeah sounds good.cheers Current Location: At Work

so, i feel like this has been one long week. Monday I went out to a co-workers birthday party....it was at a karoke bar. It was actually a lot of fun, and joined in with a group to sing 9 to 5. needless to say i got home late, and i probably haven't recovered. today we all get to leave at 1 for the long weekend, and i am looking forward to that.i think the tide has turned again, and i hate my job...are you sick of hearing about this yet? everything my boss does lately has pissed me off royally, and i don't want to do things for her, or the clients.....the clients that i am still terribly jealous of.so yeah, it think i will start to be active in a new job search.....granted i say this now and probably change my mind tomorrow since i am lazy and complacent when it comes to stuff like this.later this afternoon i will be seeing the simpsons again, and i plan on doing NOTHING for 3 whole days, it is all very exciting.in the long line of me talking about me.....i was looking at a calendar and my birthday is exactly one day before Thanksgiving....i have no good reason why, but it seriously pisses me off. i can't explain it, but that is just the way i feel about it...maybe i should stop looking towards the future so much?i also really want to go back to atlantic city...who wants to give me money so i can go?can you believe it's going to be september tomorrow?cheers Current Location: The office Current Mood: hungry Current Music: someone has a radio on somewhere

So here it is, 20 after 4 on a Friday at work. There are no agents here, and there are only 3 assistants....No one is here. The only time the phone has rung has been my boss checking in, and a client who called so we could talk about his script...man oh man. What a day, I am getting my hair done later, so there's that.on a totally different note about LJ in like the last month people I met strictly through this thing have left, or as I discovered today unfriended me. The reason is because I never comment or update....fair enough. Yet I hope there is at least one person out there reading this. I mean I know I read them, how else would I know what's going on with other people living in LA, or other parts of the country?so last week my parents and my boss was away, man that was nice. now that everyone is back...what can i say? not as nice.so on a theatre note, i have been seeing a lot of stuff lately and it occurs to me that i haven't seen anything in a long time that made me feel like my life had changed. is it because i look at seeing these things as part of my work? or are things no longer that good anymore? Just i remember sitting in a theatre thinking, wow this is amazing. don't know, maybe just the things I have seen sucked?I think I need this day to be over. I think I need a new job, contracts suck large amounts of suck. I think I need a lot of things."I've never been a millionaire but I just know I'd be darling at it."

so i hope this doesn't come across as petty....well if you know me, then you might have seen my hands over the years. and on each of those hands i wear a ring. now i have discussed wearing a ring on the wedding finger, but whatever that i'm sure will be talked about again...this is about the other ring. the ring i wear on my right pinky. it has broken. and not really wearable. i don't know how to describe not having anything on that finger. no joke i have been wearing a ring on that finger since highschool possibly before. so at least 10 years. i have never taken it off, not even to shower. i never realized how often i touched it, or played around with it before. yes of course i can try and find a replacement, but i don't really know where to look, and the petty part is that it won't be exactly the same and therefore should i really look for the replacement? i haven't been wearing it for almost a week now, and it still feels like something is missing from my finger. it's just made me a little sad is all.perhaps you heard about our rain and tornados? i can't believe the powers that be aren't prepared for things like that....idiots. i left my house at 9 for work, i arrived at 11. it normally takes 26 min. basically i was underground the entire time, and it was just so hot. and really, really gross.my parents left this morning, and my boss leaves tomorrow. next week i am boss and parents free....there are no words really. basically a mini vacation if you will.i have also set a goal for myself. before i turn 30 i want to go to Italy. Just all over that one country. yes there other places over there, but i want to go there, to Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany, just all over. be it by myself or with someone i want to try and find a way to make this happen, without going into bankruptcy. and well i am not the best planner, so i will have to work on that.did you get that new myrna loy/william powell box set? yeah mines in the mail. ahhhh classic movies. and hopefully disc one of futurama will show up from netflix today, yeah, my weekend is looking pretty sweet at the moment.cheers Current Location: The office Current Mood: hungry Current Music: chitter chatter

so i had my cooking class. there are no words really...it was just a complete joy and pleasure. The things we made were so good, and maybe at some point i will feel skilled enough to atempt them myself. i liked most of the people in the class, and really loved the teacher (chef?) so that was a plus. the class was 5hrs long and at the end of it my feet were really feeling it. which i guess puts off those minor dreams of becoming a chef cause imagining standing for like double that, seems insane to me.i have not seen the simpsons movie yet...i really want to. it makes me a little sad at the same time though, cause i know i would have seen it at some midnight screening with a large group of people if i were still in school.i've seen a lot off-off-off broadway stuff recently, and my god does it suck. man it feels good to put that out there. however it does make me appreciate the good stuff more, and almost how rare it is when something is truly wonderful.i am currently planning a dinner party for saturday. wish me luck. i may pass out before then, it has been one crazy week.have i mentioned that my boss, and my parents are going out of town the same week? well they are...you have no idea.....ah to live by myself in an apartment in the city.i'm currently watching in cold blood..it's pretty good...and next is capote, so i'm all set. and i read the book, so i know what happens.i want to be outside right now. in a few weeks i will have been at this job a year....what a rollercoaster of a year...and we all know how i feel about rollercoasters....cheers Current Location: the office Current Music: SILENCE

Okay so first things first. I saw the movie last Sunday. I actually quite enjoyed it and like a lot of the directors choices, and I am quite glad to learn that he will be directing the next one as well. There were a few things that I really, REALLY wanted to see on the big screen, that well just weren't there at all. I know things had to be cut and all, but still I have to admit I was a little disapointed. Either that or I really wanted to Maggie Smith go to town on Umbridge. So to....you know review I liked the movie a lot, and once I get over my own stupid things, I'm sure I will end up loving it.And I finished the book last night, or early this morning. I liked it very much as well. I wish there was a little more at the ending, and I may have to re-read some stuff cause I have to admit I'm a little confused. I would write more, but that involves the cut, and I may need to mull it over some more.Here's my little story about getting the book....I ordered it through BN, because book 6 came early the day of, and I was quite pleased. Well this time....I did not get the book until 11:10pm. Needless to say I was pissed. Had I known I would have just gone out the buy it. So I ranted a little at the poor customer service people, and I almost I didn't know I had it in me, but I was seriously pissed. I'm sure it was no where near as bad as they heared that night though.well it's all over, as far as Harry Potter is concerned. I look forward to the movies, and I'm actually glad I can say hey I was there when this was all going on. Lets be honest, when is this happening again?I also saw SAW for the first time the other night. I actually quite enjoyed it. i will admit that during the "scary" parts I turned the sound down so it wasn't all that scary :) and then yesterday the office got cupcakes courtesy of Michael Emerson. Granted it was because he was nominated for an emmy and not me watching this film, but you know still.....The movie I PA'ed for is having a screening at the Latino Festival on wednesday. i will be there and stay until the end, cause my name had better be there!We get floating fridays at work off....And I had mine last week, I took Thursday off as well. It was so nice to have a 4 day weekend. I think I really needed it, however all i want is more time off now.my ipod came. and it is truly love at first sight. we have bonded, and i think this is a lasting relationship.can someone please tell me how it's only 10:40?Cheers Current Location: Office Current Music: Printer....printing
