It's nice to have internet
Wow. It has been an eternity since I was able to write. I started a blog, but I wasn’t able to finish it because the internet went down. It’s been very picky lately and went down altogether for 5 days straight. Needless to say it’s been effecting my school work, since I haven’t been able to post my script on time or critique my partner’s work. Hopefully it’ll work again for good here shortly.
So, where did I leave off? I have no idea. I guess I’ll start backwards instead. Yesterday I worked at Old Navy. It’s my second to last week, and I’m starting to get pretty sad about leaving this store. Everyone who’s every worked at an Old Navy can tell you the people are great, so it’s inevitable that you make friends at whatever store you work at. So, it’ll be hard to say goodbye next week, but I know I have my wonderful Springfield store waiting for me when I get home. I miss those guys A BUNCH!
This weekend was phenomenal! Friday night, Luke, Matt, and I went to the famous Hot Dog Place, PINK’S, in Hollywood. All there walls are filled with signed celebrity photos and it’s not unusual to see celebs hanging out at this little restaurant. Of course, we didn’t see any, but we did wait in line for an hour just to order! It was worth it! I had the Mulholland Drive Dog: 10” hot dog, nacho cheese, onions, mushrooms, and bacon. Matt had the Millennium Dog: hot dog, chili, guacamole, onions, lettuce, tomato, and other stuff. I can’t remember! Luke had the Lord of the Rings Dog: BBQ sauce and Onion Rings. It was DELICIOUS!
We drove around after Pinks and saw some fun stuff:
Then on Saturday we drove to San Clemente, Ca! It’s South of LA about 1.5 hours. My Grandma Kathy, Grandpa Buddy, and cousins Emerald and Hallie were there to visit, so we joined them. We had a great time! We went to the beach and saw Life Guards rescue people. The Tide was very strong and kept dragging people to the Pier! Then we drove around and looked at the marina and some really awesome boats! After that we had a fabulous dinner of lasagna, salad, and garlic bread. YUMMY! That night Grandma and I stayed up late watching TV. I’m hooked on Big Brother again!
On Sunday we got up and went to breakfast by the OCEAN! It was a very nice restaurant with delicious food and we got to sit outside! Then we visited some more and hit the road.
Matt and I decided to take the Pacific Coast Highway back. It was fun at first, going through Laguna, Huntington, Etc., but we never really saw the water. It was built up so much on both sides that we were pretty much driving through towns the whole way. And it was taking a lot longer, so we eventually got back on the 405. Plus, that part of the PCH was cluttered with oil rigs and industrial stuff.
Okay, so moving backward. On Thursday and Friday at the Internship not a lot happened. I spent most of my time (11 hours) updating my boss’s boss’s contacts. It wasn’t as grueling as it sounds. J I also read some fun scripts that are going to be in production sometime in the near future. That was fun. I made some phone calls, and did some errands. I also found out (and got to see the artwork for) a movie that is considering Kate Winslet and Angelina Jolie. Of course, it’s more like throwing names out there than actual negotiations, but it was still really cool to see! Friday afternoon was very nice. There wasn’t a lot to do, so we spent a lot of time just chatting. I got to know my boss better, which was a lot of fun. We talked about girly drinks and what ones were acceptable for men to drink. J
Last Tuesday and Wednesday I worked at Old Navy. Last weekend… oooooooooooooh right. Last weekend was the 4th of July! So, I worked at Old Navy the Tuesday and Wednesday before. I went in to my Internship on Thursday ready to work all day. Well, the office closed at 1! So, I got to leave early. Which was cool, but sad at the same time. I spent the morning reading a script and writing coverage, and that was it! Then I came home and went swimming! That was the majority of what I did all weekend. Friday we didn’t want to fight the 4th of July crowds so we, WENT SWIMMING! We also went to a nice Mexican Restaurant, El Torito in the Galleria Mall. After that we went to the Archlight Theatres and looked at their gift shop. It’s one of the best I’ve ever seen! It had these really cool mugs that celebrities designed. I want one! J We also worked on our scripts because everyone but Matt had to turn one in on Sunday!
On Sunday and Monday I was so tired I didn’t get out of bed. I started reading the Twilight Series. (Thank you, Lindsey for letting me borrow them). Now, if you haven’t read these books they’re really good… if you like young adult fiction and vampires. However, they’re turning the first one into a movie and I am less than thrilled. I think the casting is all wrong, and the trailer makes it look hokey. I guess I’ll have to see it before I can really have an opinion, but I might wait for it to go to the $1 theatre!
So, I think that catches us up! Horray! Now as soon as the internet comes back on I’ll post this. I’m sorry it’s so long!
