hey people. went to the writers guild today to build signs. I did the 8-10am shift. most of the shifts are 4 hours, but the early one is not, so that's good. I took a t-shirt but it was 2XL, so i'm not sure if it'll fit.

went to santa monica tonight for a BIG union meeting. def. not asmany people showed up as the last one and it was a bit more heated but there is still solidarity which is good. fuck the AMPTP trying to rip us off those corporate pieces of shit!

i leave for nyc on thurs a.m. yikes i think it's 7am which sucks

had a lame ass date with this guy i met online. I was disappointed since he was a promising person at least on paper. tall, cute etc. and his emails made me laugh, but alas, it was a bad hour long date. HOW MANY MORE OF THESE AM I GOING TO HAVE TO GO ON??!?!?!

like i say every time this year... maybe next year!

i just saved $600 a year on my car insurance!

i mean I've heard those ads on the radio, but i called this place USAA (which is for family members of servicemen, of which my father was one as all of our fathers had to be) and totally saved $600 bucks AND got rentals insurance too. so i prob. saved even more!

woo hoo! oh happy day!

yesterday i was striking at CBS. i never struck there before. i ran into a writer from a show I had met on the day the strike was called, oh yes, i was up for a tv writing big bucks job and that same day the strike was caLLED. typical, si?

anyway, i was thinking he has a nice smile and he's cute... then he's all "my boyfriend this and my boyfriend htat..."

CBS kinda blew I only stayed for like 2 hours and then was like i gots to pee, so i left since the bathroom sitch is inconvenient. today i was supposed to go to FOX with Kristin, but i'm going to see a Atonement with Jackie at noon, so i'm not sure that's happening. for some stragen reason i've been waking up at 10am these past 2 days, so thats gotta stop.

I go to NY in 9 days, its hard to keep picking up and going there, but i'll live. I just get settled there or here and then I have to leave again, but I"m psyched for Christams.

ok, off to meet Jackie at the grove!

Yesterday i struck at FOX. Kristin and I went and due to the distance to the bathroom from the studio but the closeness to our car we only ended up striking for maybe 1 hour 45 mins. oh well, at least we got out there.

it was gay strike day and indian strike day and bring your dog strike day. Oddly it was also straight girl who didn't realize it was gay strike day and it was awkward strike day for her.

when i showed up they had these cute bandanas that said "we wont beg" so i grabbed one and put in around my neck only to find out that it was dog strike day and these bandanas were for the dogs for around their neck. oh yes, how i make mistakes like this ALWAYS!!

Guess who I struck with yesterday? As you can see in the picture who it is! woo hoo.

Krsitin and i were supposed to go to FOX yesterday but instead she said she wanted to go to WB b/c our friend dan who writes on SS's show was going to be there with SS. Anyway, she might be my new fave person as we totally hit it off. WE talked about howard Stern and our mutual love for that show and pretty much whatever else came up.

we struck for like 2 hours (we're supposed to do 3 but since the WGA isn't covering my health insurance starting january 1 since i didnt' earn enough doing WGA stuff this year, i'm not covered) so I decided 2 is all they get out of me. Anyway, then kristin, SS, and I and 2 of her writers all went to lunch at this delish place in Burbank, yes, burbank has delish sandwich places, who knew?!

last nite i went to the El Rey to see my friend Doug at a party he wa throwing. Not sure if you've heard of askaninja.com, but it's a pretty big site, like the israeli government flew him to israel to do a speech "big". and they had this question and answer thing where people in the audience asked him questions (he's dressed as a ninja the entire time) and he answered them, which is REALLY FUCKING HARD TO DO!! but he rocked. it was hilarous. Patton Oswald also did stand up but he's not funny.

so i'm writing this mtv project for i think u all know who. anyway, i handed in the script over 2 weeks ago (the 2nd draft) and now i'm just waiting for notes, however as my agent said "if they loved it we would know that by now." which is true, dont think she's a bitch.

but i honestly thought the script rocked and thougth the mtv exec was going to think it hilarious?!! so what do i know, at least I can't sit here and say "well i could've done this or this or worked harder." I really couldn't have. I'm sure there are things to fix like in everything, but it was a solid draft... grrrr, i hate waiting! and besides anything is pure speculation right now until we hear from mtv.

i cooked a meal the other night, however i feel as if i perhaps made too much of it. I made butternut squash soup which is so delicious and i made it homemade!!! but now i have about 3 containers of it in my fridge and 4 in my freezer, that's a lot of mutha fucking soup.

tomorrow i return to the picket lines at fox with kristin. she had a big party the other night and i told a boy i thought he was cute and he was like "uh huh"... ok, then i went to the bar and drank more if that was even possible!

woo hoo

I just got an email from Tom from the junket... he totally asked me out!

HOW CUTE IS MY NIECE

thurs nite i went to the press screening of "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and it was actually really cute! Had some great one liners for adults! Take ur neices and nephews.

afterwards we went to a cocktail party at the house of the creators son of alvin and the chipmunks, this house was not to be believed!! THE HOUSE THAT SINGING CHIPMUNKS BUILT! And they live in Oprah's neighborhood. I had a few glasses of wine, yum, chatted with some of the other press, but mostly hung with terri who is a tv host in canada. I liked this guy tom, but as soon as he opened his mouth I was not a fan!

Anyway, afterwards we took a shuttle back to the four seasons and terri came back to my room and we drank wine with Remi.

yesterday remi and i woke up and went to the gym/spa. I swam in the outdoor AMAZING pool that over looks the pacific ocean, really amazing. The pool is fucking huge!!!! i could only do 10 laps! ME WHO WORKS OUT EVERY DAY!! 16 laps is a half mile so i did a litlte more than 1/4 mile! phew!

I went to the junket in the afternoon back at the house that chipmunks built. I saw with the creator's son and his wife, then did a green screen interview with the chipmunks and then interviewed justin long, jason lee and 2 other chipmunk voices, they were totaly tired and it was chaotic and i'm sure i don't have anythign worth using on the webiste (it's a video interview) hung out with Tom again and this time I really liked him! huba hubba. he asked for my email! haven't heard from him boo!
