mucho celeb sightings!!

yesterday I met Kristin for coffee at kings road cafe and saw.... drum roll please... ERIC DANE!!! AKA MCSTEAMY FROM GREYS ANATOMY!!! OMG that man is hot on the show, but his hottness defies all hotness in person, his ass was so close to my face (i was sitting down) that I nearly passed out from sheer beauty.

gossip alert! rumor has it that he has a honey on the side who lives near kings road and who my friend has seen him having spats with and they call eachh other baby. i have not seen this, but it seems like an odd thing to make up, my friends is a reliable source and she has seen them on numerous ocasaions, in case you ddin't know, he's married to rebecaa gayheart, so this piece of gossip is CRAZY!!


Today at Swingers i saw dave chapelle. i wanted to take a pic of my picture a day in 2008 journal, but my friend says "he's bat shit, he might go crazy on you." so i didn't. he was wearing big ass headphones and was in the back so i couldn't see if he was with anyone, i wonder if he used his WGA to get a free meal like we did!!!

there were character actors galore at kings road yesterday too. The dad from Dawson' creek and a few others who would eye each other when the others would get a table, prety damn funny. oh, life in LA.

my migraine still lingers, but i'm doing better, amy and bern are coming over to watch friday night lights today so i had to clean my apartment, not that it was dirty but you know, wipe down the counter and stove and bathroom sink, ugh I ate being poor and not being able to afford someone to do that shit for me!

why do these things happen

yesterday I was at the guild writing in their library when I developed a headache. I thought ok, well, i probably haven't eaten enough today, so i went home and ate. then I went to the gym and then it hit... A MIGRAINE!

I have had like maybe 4 migraines in my life, and this one was pretty damn bad. It was also accompanied by my face flushing and getting really hot! I did research and this was more than a simple migraine, but a cluster headache which according to my researche "is the most painful headache theere is," although i didn't have all the symptoms, just the pain and the flushed face. I have no idea. I'm a walking medical anomaly, I'm starting to think I'm crazy. I still have residual pain right now and in fact and typing this with my eyes closed as it hurts too much to look at the screen. I'm so please at my typing ability to allow such a feat!!!!

Okay i need to go lay down.

whats the point

I have no idea what i do with my days, they just slip by and all of a sudden i realize it's sunday again and I have to start over. I worked at the strike HQ yesterday again answering phones. I really like the tues shift as the corrdinator is really nice and not an old guy going on and on about how he wrote a Julia Roberts movie in the 90s and what she was like before she hit stardom! these people are your worst nightmare!

I hope i dont do that when I'm an old fart, perhaps I already am, b.c hollywood standards are quite different. yesterday i applied for a job up at Adidas HQ in portland, dont tell my friend who works at Nike!!!

Went out on friday night with Tom, we met for a drink at Chaya, I guess that's our 3rd date, in two months tho, so it's not encouraging. I also facebooked the guy who i went on a date with in august who had been messaging me recently and aksed if he wanted to go to this exhibit downtown, where he lives, he took all day to reply and then sent me a message this morning saying sure, but no XOXOX at the end of said message... no idea what that means.

Last night I had dinner with Tal, one of the execs at Sony, LOVE HER!! I thought it would be a quick dinner, but we sat and talked for 3 hours! It was so fun, and great to catch up with her! She rules.

I'm realy enjoying my tennis class and the girls in it. we all get along so well, it's pretty insane and we all had a potluck dinner on sunday night and just sat and gossipped, etc. really fun as most of them are not in the biz and are just really genuinely cool.

For those of you who dont know me well, i like free things, like actually LOVE free things. in fact in 3rd grade i had this book where you write down things like your favorite actor or book or tv show and one thing said "your motto." and at 8 years old I remember writing "free is for me."

AT 8 YEARS OLD!!!

As a result of the writers strike, drew carey offered to pick up the tab of any writer who eats at swingers or bob's big boy. I haven't taken nearly enough advantage of it, but my micaela made me so 2 weeks ago we went and chowed down on free grub and then showed our guild card and bam, free good, baby! we went again today after Weight watchers, I lost a pound hooller!!!

what is it about banana multigrain panckes and a vanilla latte that tastes so much better because it's free?!?! I kinda regret not going there more. I know the strike will end in like a few weeks probably, so I have to start going more often, maybe for dinner!!! grilled cheese or something, yummers!!!

GRIM

so last night i went to my friend jessica's, she's a tv director and lives 1.5 blocks from me. we met through my ex will and we've remained friends. i've met a lot of people that way, liz, rachel, etc and etc. I keep the friends of the boys, but not the boys. anyway, she's a director and was supposed to direct an episode of a FOX tv show but isn't now due to the strike and as a result is going to lose her health benefits cause she hasn't earned enough money to keep them. This is the exact same position I'm in.

she said she's going to have to probably change her career after all the works she's done to establish herself because the strike has ruined her momentum and potential jobs. again this is the exact position I'm in. I'm going to have to change my entire life and basically end my life long dream (although to be fair I did write on a hit tv show and sold another one this year even though it went no where) due to this strike and the 2 years of me not working leading up to it and me not having a job when it ends. it's strange to think none of my other friends will ever have this problem, my friends who aren't part of a union that is.

also i still think it's so unfair that the course of my life is drastically going to change due to HEALTH INSURANCE!!!! or the lack there of. I have it for not, but am going to lose it in september. And as is stands I wont have earned enough by September to keep it going. There is just no way I could earn it even if the strike ended today. People in washington do not care about health insurance driving americans in bankruptcy, they just dont. I wish sicko did more to change policy!

supernanny

I just went to the coffee bean in beverly hills and was sitting there and Jo the nanny from supernanny came in and got a coffee. she had a huge bag from the Gap and I thought to myself, Jo shops at the Gap????

the guy behind the counter, the same guy who kiiissseddd renee zellwegger's ass a few months back (and i wrote about it click on the celeb sightings link below) was kissing hers as well, this guy needs to get a fucking life! He bends over backwards for them and me he's like 'here" hands me my coffee so roughly that it spills down the front of my shirt. THANKS ASS!

I tivo-ed bridget jones diary and just watched it and was stunned by the similarities between bridget and myself and now I'm depressed. I think it also has to do with the fact that I can't tell if I'm sick or not, my body can't make up it's mind. sometimes I feel ok and then I feel sick?!?! PULL THE TRIGGER BODY OF MINE BECAUSE THIS SHIT IS STARTING TO PISS ME OFF!!

weird

I woke up in a bad mood today. this rarely happens to me, in fact i dont remember it ever happening to me, waking up in a bad mood is so strange. Anyway, then i went to weight watchers and I gained wieght and then I went to the coffee bean and my coffee spilled and burned my hand and then I realized they gave me the wrong coffee. UGH!

so that's 3 bad things, now i'm done for the day! I'm more stressed now about my current situation now that i went to a friends yesterday and this friend I find out has been in talks with a studio to write a pilot for them. this friend said that he/she needs to look out for themselves becuase the guild is'nt looking out for them. soo now i'm like has everyone been doing this? is the strike gonna end next week and I'm the only asshole who didn't develop behidn the backs of everyone??? This is the only town where being honest and good gets you NOWHERE AND NOTHING!!

STRIKE 3, SO I GUESS I'M OUT

Last week I pulled my resume together to apply for a job at Nike in Portland. It was the perfect job for my lack of business experience. unfortunately today i saw that the job was no longer on the website. *sigh* and seeing as I haven't been hired to do it, i think it's safe to assume someone else was. I'm extremely disappointed. if I weren't a robot and didn't know how to cry, this would be a time when a normal human would cry.

I also got the call this week that MTV passed on my pilot. Oh and I pitched a book idea to my agent who pitched it to the book people and that was passed on too!

I GIVE UP!! NOBODY WANTS ME OR MY TALENTS!!!

dont tell on me

I'm not picketing today. I was going to, but I just dont want to picket today and I'm not going to!!! THERE, take that!

I'm still trying to fashion a reply to Todd what with his reindeer games. his first email he ended with XO then this one he ended with XOXOXO wow I'm getting some serious action people!

um, don't only 12 year old girls do the whole XO thing? And what does it all mean?

yesterday i worked at the Writers Guild strike headquarters answering phones. This has become a regular monday morning ritual. it's easy to be there by 8am and its only a mile a way and not too much happens that early in the day. It's easy strike work.

i maybe had 5 phone calls in 3 hours.

then I worked out, ate, and read a book for a potential movie writing gig that I was supposed to read before the strike started. I felt that since I neglected to read it I was still allowed to under strike rules, but there's a good chance I'm making that up. I just had nothing to do so I picked up the book and read it in under 2 hours, it's a kids type book

Had my tennis class last night, 2 girls showed up who aren't usually in the class and I did not care for them. one of them had coke bottle glasses and kept hitting to my backhand which is fine if thats one of her stratagies but apparently it was her only strategy. so it got annoying. she's what I could call a scrappy player.

I ran into the net and my racquet snapped back and hit my jaw and then i left the class I was annoyed at these new people and in pain and made an executive decision to be a big baby and go home.

Oh and I messaged todd, the guy who is playing jedi mind tricks on me from facebook. anyway, with the help of amy i wrote a great response, after waiting 4 days like any lady would, and then he immediately responded to that message in like 2 hours!!! so know I'm figuring out what to do!

SATURDAY NIGHT

Last night I met up with Bern, Kyle, Christine for some beers at 3rd stop. I'm not a big beer person at all, nor do i like to particularly drink that much, but hey when the bar is w/in walking distance, hey why not, right? I had a nice time drinking and eating an entire pizza, yes you read that correctly.

i went to WW on friday and lost 2 pounds and of course I have to reward my hard work by eating everything and putting it all back on!!!

THERE YOU ARE

Last night in my facebook inbox, I got a message entititled "there you are"

it was from Todd who I went out with in august and who I really liked. We text messaged a few times after the most successful 1st date I've have in ages and then I never heard from him again... and oh how much I liked him. of course this is how it always goes, the ones that want you, you dont want and vice versa.

So imagine my surprise when he tracked me down on facebook and said "there you are," trying to imply that I not HIM is at fault for our fizzled out "relationship"

the rest of the message said something along the lines of "you can't hide on facebook"

yeah, that's me, the one who has been hiding RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN WITH THE EXACT SAME EMAIL ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER I HAD ALLLLLL ALONG!!

Pffft, these Jedi mind trick DO NOT WORK ON ME! Does he think I'm so stupid to think "oh noooo, Todd has wanted to talk to me this entire time and i've made myself unavailable poor him." TRY AGAIN, todd!!

OF COURSE I'M TOTALLY GOING TO MESSAGE HIM BACK TO SATISFY MY MORBID CURIOSITY!

PHOTO JOURNAL 2008

I'm doing this little project this year where I take a photo a day.

here's the compilation for the first 2 weeks of the year.

MY 2008 PHOTOJOURNAL

Whenever I update it, I'll post the link, it's just interesting what I take a picture of i think. Sometimes it'll be my bed right before I go in it cause i've forgotten to take a photo that day!! Who knows where my travels will take me!!! Follow along!

so there's this woman who works at the library at the writers guild who i fucking hate.

she talks really loud when on the phone and engages people in conversations that last for hhooooourrrrss, i always feel so bad for those people on the other end who just called to get a simple one or two word answer and she keeps them on the phone for 20 mins.

a few months ago I asked her to reduce her voice and she said "I believe my voice is at a perfectly suitable decible." meanwhile, everyone in the library is looking at each other with the "is this fucking woman nuts" shrug and eyeroll.

so yesterday i brought in a dioet coke and you cant bring drinks in but you can leave them on a shelf by the door. so i did and she later comes over in her "quiet" voice and says, holding up the can "you cannot being carbonated beverages into the library. they are forbiden." so i said ok. and she said she was going to remove the offensive element from the library and to the fridge at the foundation room and i said "you can just throw it out, ti's not a big deal" and she said "it is a big deal, soft drinks are not allowed, water is fine, but no soft drinks are allowedin the library...." i wanted to say "yeah i got that the first time you said it'" she repeats herself over and over.

she's fucking annoying.

anyway, look who got quoted (totally inaccurately) in this story.

http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifSTORY WRITTEN ABOUT ME BUT THIS WOMAN QUOTED ME TOTALLY WRONG

a correction was made but not in time for the AP wiree to re-adjust

who is the cutest ever??

MY NIECE!!!


HERE IS A PIC OF HER ON CHRISTMAS!

AUNTIE SARAH GAVE HER THE HOOKER BOOTS!!

i'm back in la, everything thing is the same. Nothing changed except the last digit of the year when i fill out my checks. All my medical bills have flooded my mailbox, thankfully a lot of these places are still sending the bills to my old address so I prob. wont get them for another month, which is fine seeing as $1,000 a month comes out of my bank account EVERY MONTH for medical expenses!! But it's only until october, so that's just days away... that's right $10,000 in medical bills and no income!!

unfortunately this will probably determine and change the course of my life... i just dont think it's fair seeing as if i lived in a country that paid for health insurance I woudln't have thes problems. I know this isn't the first time I've talked about my medical bills, it's just that I got another bill from 2005 today and it kinda set me off...

Oh and before you ask, yes I have health insurance, VERY GOOD INSURANCE, but i accrued over $100,000 in medical bills in 2007. You know how you think to yourself, oh my insurance pays 80% and i only pay 20% what a great deal... well that's great until your total bill is $100,000 do the math, it's grim.

I had a 2nd date last night with the guy who made me pay for everything on the 1st date. He paid for everything!! hahah except the lakers tickets that my friend carrie gave me! FREE TICKETS BITCHES!!

it was fun, we made out in his car which is a lot less than i did with him the first date when i was drunk. oops did i not tell you guys that??? i had a date last month with this guy who conveniently forgot his wallet and i had to shell out for everything. anyway, i gave him a 2nd chance mostly b/c i was ashamed of myself... i'm glad I did, he's cute-ish!!

anyway, happy new year!!!! I'll be writing more now that my neighbors turned their internet back on and i can go back to stealing it!!

happy new year!!!!

greetings everyone, ih ave been away in NY for almost 2 weeks! Oy vey! I am happy to say knock on wood, I have not been killed by my parent's clutter crumbling onto me during my sleep. my parents are hoarders. I think my father might be the worst offender, oprah show worthy if I may be so bold or traitorous to the mac fam!

i have spent my last 2 trips re-doing my dad's office formerly known as my old bedroom. we through out 7 bags of garbage including multiple windows '95 manuals for software my father no longer has. I also threw out a lot stuff he doesn't even know i threw out, I told him i was donating stuff to make him feel better and then in the trash it went! but the news is not all good. yesterday I was down in the basement and a lot of books that were supposed to be thrown out in november my dad had hauled back in after i left. HE HAS A SERIOUS HOARDING PROBLEM. these books were in the musty old basement, not doing anything, but my dad simply could not throw them out. dont' worry i put them back in the garbage and dumped a cup of coffee on them and buried them down deep in the trash can so he cannot find them... i hope.

this morning we had pancakes and my father cleaned up after and i saw in the fridge like a drop of leftover pancake batter in a tupperware, not even enough for one pancake and my dad kept it (dont worry i promptly threw it out and he hasn't even noticed!!!!!! also he put in the fridge 3 pancakes we didn't eat!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH HIM???! i threw out those as well. it's not like tonight, i'm going to be like i'm hungry what can i eat, oh look soggy cold blue berry pancakes, yum!"

MORE ON MY TRIP AFTER I GET BACK TO la AND CAN START USING MY COMPUTER AGAIN!!!

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!

MORE TO COME

I GOT ASKED to got to a movie junket for alvin and the chipmunks through the website i occassionally write for, fandango. so i am now at the four seasons hotel (v. posh) in santa barbara (more specifically montecito, home of OPRAH!!!)

this is the freebie they gave for the press. i invited remi to join me as shes' unemployed and who wouldn't want a free nighta the 4 seasons. we went to lunch at the restaurant and had "oprahs pomagranate martinis" and got totally buzzed and had to walk into town to walk it off!

i'm off to the press screeening of the film and tomorow is the junket, stayed tuned for the junket interview on fandango as I'll be on camera!!!!

today was a rainy day and even though i had my regular morning of walking in the park and dunkin donuts coffee, I still found myself without a car for the better half of the afternoon. thankfully alyson rescued me from parental house arrest after she was done with school. we headed to the park and threw the ball for her totally fucking fat thyroid conditioned dog Peety. We then headed to coffee labs for some tea and decaf for alyson, becuase alyson thinks it's "crazy" to drink caffeine after 3 pm "sarah I can't do that I'll be up all night, what are you crazy?" my dad says the same exact thing. AARP-Alyson and I chatted and she told me that I'm no longer depressed and in a funk. She then said "remember when I told you you were in a funk, you got mad"
my reply: no, alsyon I did not get mad because you told me I was in a funk, I got mad becuase you said "you're in a funk and you're not fun anymore and I no longer want to hang out with you." we continued to gossip more about people we love!

we then headed to pay/half where I got the most darling outfit!!!! and soooo cheap. I got this cute jacket tha looks like it coudl be sold at anthropologie and then these brown cords which i've been dying for a pair, but J. Crew sells them for a million dollars and I'm lazy.

all and all a successful day.

oh and I've come up with a new way to describe my constant problem with my stomach: Accelerated intestinal transit... i think u all know what i'm talking about.

Hey everyone. I am back. Well not in LA, yet, I'll get there tues at some point, I'm still in NY. It's been a fun 10 days, how come it goes by so fast when you're having a great ol' time, but when life is shit, it drags on?

I have so much to cover, and no energy to do so. To give you a funny anecdote to my trip, last night Alyson and I drove up to Emma's new house on 3 acres in pound ridge, it's fucking awesome. we had dinner, drinks and played a few rounds of the game Taboo. If I told you this version of Taboo we played that we came up with ourselves has never been played before or will be played since, you will have to believe me. I have never laughed so hard during this game and the reason I'm not elaborating is b/c it was wildly innapropriate.

anyway, alyson and I get on the road at like 1:30am and head back to I-town and i arrive at my parents house at like 215 or something. and my parents get all pissed at me that I showed up at 215 without calling. I'm like, uh i didn't call becaues I"m a grown up and I'm allowed to stay out past 2am if i so please. but they were all worried, i have no idea why, but the next day my mom made up a story that a bunch of people had been recently killed by drunk drivers on the coincidentally the exact road we were driving on. (now mind you she didn't tell me this before my journey up there which is why I know it's not a true story, she likes t omake stuff up.)

anyway, thankfully i wasn't drunk and could have a conversation basically letting them knwo that i'm an adult and that's the end of story.

will fill you on on more stories and pics. I had a great t'giving!!!! my neice and newphew are the fucking cutest!!!

Picket Party

yesterday a group of us had a picket party at CBS radford, like 15 of us planned to picket for the same shift. It's fun when yo'ure walking in a circle with people you know and need to catch up with. It was the hottest day of the picketing, i was sweating my ass off and i even got a tan on my arm (and i was wearing 45 SPF)

I ran into this woman who i used to write with on that 80s show. And she is CRAZY!! I guess I never realized it, but I havent seen her in prob. 4+ years and this is how the conversation went:

me: how's your husband?
her: he's good, why does everyone ask about my husband, everyoen always asks about him, why does everyone do that?

then me a little later.

Me: how are your cats?
her: my cats?
me: yeah remember when I house sat and took care of them?
her: not my cats, my dogs. Don't call them cats, they're not cats. THey're dogs.

UMM IT WAS 5 FUCKING YEARS AGO!! I'M MAKING CONVERSATION
and everything out of her mouth.... she was like captain defensivo!

I'm so bummed I missed my tv boyfriend dr. house picketing at fox the one fucking day i took off from picketing.

I'm off to the showers and my ride is taking me to the airport in like 20 mins. I'm flying to NYC baby! then going to cape cod tomorrow until sunday and then in the Irv. for over a week, so no more picketing (although I might do it in NYC with the WGA east)

you prob. won't get this joke

but...

last week a picture of an agent was taken at the picket line. he's talking to a client. The woman who runs the BIGGEST hollywood strike update blog in town ran a caption contest... GUESS WHO WON!

you prob. wont get it if you've never had your agent tell you you cant be a drama writer now b/c youve only ever b een a sitcom writer... but it's the worsT

I didn't take credit b/c this agent just so happens to be on from my agency and is one of my agents.

check it out here.

WHY WE'RE STIRKING

In case you guys are confused by why exaclty the WGA is striking here's a great piece written by doris egan who writes house about why we're striking. WHY WE STRIKE AND WHY NONE OF THIS BENEFITS US BUT WILL BENEFIT FUTURE WRITERS

One pic of my rally posse, one pic of the CAA assistant handing out churros, two pics of the rally on friday at FOX that had 4000 people and wasn't on the cover of the la times. oh media conglmoerates are so fun when they're promoting the view of the studios and not the little writers. oh and one with people laying down in the middle of pico and shutting it down.

This week I'm going out there in my gorilla suit. oh yeah, i'm getting on the news!!!

This week on strike

since the iraq war started, there is this show on CNN called this week in war.

this is my equivalent for being on strike!

what i've learned this week

1. never date writers. while on strike you have to picket with other writers. Other writers you will inevitably see on the picket line. some you haven't returned their calls, others you pretend to not see during a 4 hour circle you're making and passing them over and over and over... you get the drill. also what works is going to opposite direction by shouting "hey it's rob" every time you walk by him to avoid the fact you rejected him. so to avoid these and even more awkward situations, I have decided not to date writers.

2. striking is hard. seriously, marching in a circle for 4 hours a day is why i didn't join the army. that and the misogynistic environment and lack of food selections, i'm guessing they dont serve sushi in iraq.

3. strikers get treats. all the talent agents sent out their gophers with hot cocoa, churros (i have a picture of that one yum), cookies, burritos, pizzas etc. we get to put back on all the calories we just burned off. Yum! even local catering companies came out with boxes of different treats they can do with their stickers/business cards.

Heres the link to my story about strike and date yesterday on the picket lines!!!!!

Here's a pic of the cute boy i asked out in my story. Our first picture!! AWww. I'm going to frame and send it to him when the strike is over. That wont scare him too much.

also how cute is this little kid. The slogan for the strike is "pencils down." check out his sign!

And the picture of the tall guy in the brown shirt is my friend trae who is not a writer but works at fox and came out to visit!!

ON STRIKE SHUT 'EM DOWN HOLLYWOOD'S A UNION TOWN

IS IT ME OR DO MY BOOBS LOOK GINORMOUS IN THIS SHOT?

The Osmonds Family

Little known fact: I am related to the Osmonds. They Hail from Ogden, Utah as does my family. my dad and his entire family were born and raised in Ogden. A great uncle of mine married one of the Osmonds Aunts.

So I want to keep in mind the prayers as Mr. Osmond died this week.

WRITERS GUILD STRIKE DAY 3

Well, today is day 3 on the picket lines. I've lost a pound i think hitting the pavement, everyone I talk to also is exahusted, writers are not built to walk 4 hours a day, we're built to sit in front of computers for 12 hours a day and eat candy.

Tomorrow I'm def going to fox to picket and here's why:

Single Writer Picketing seeks Single Writer Picketing: I'm told it took one very funny and ridiculously tall writer to come up with the idea, and one sympathetic married writer to name the place. So... "Single Strikers Picketing". Date: Thursday, 1:00pm - 5:00pm. Place: Intersection of Galaxy and Avenue of the Stars. (Unfortunately, by the time this strike gets settled, writers could meet, marry and have a baby with weeks to spare.)

my camera is in the car, but i prom tonight to load pics up of me on the strike line. And i'll take a ton of pics of the date and picket tomorrow! you can vote on my eligible bachelors. what am i going to wear?!

STRIKE!

I'm totally on strike people! it's on. I was on the front line yesterday at universal studios walking the picket line, i got pics on my camera to come!

At universal we chanted 4 more cents! which is all we want from each dvd sale. the producers wont give it to us as it cuts into their $26.00/dvd profit! yeah, it's that ridiculous.

today at paramount i picketed with my friend Dybner and my new friend bob who is stacey's old friend bob. We have now run into each other 3 times in the past week after meeting at a halloween party. We had heard so much about each other.

Also on the picket line today at paramount were a few celebs: Jeff Garlin from Curb Your Enthusiam who is also a member of the WGA and Valerie Harper from Mary Tyler moore show and Valerie. She was there as a member of SAG in support of our plight (they get the same deal as us when their contract is up in June '08)

I think i'm heading to FOX tomorrow so stay tuned, they got a lot of celebs on that line. I'm also looking for single hot men.


Oh and back to bob for a second, he told me he can see why stacey and i are good friends except I'm a little more amped up energy wise, i think he called her a little more low key. when I took offense to that (i've been described as wild since my elementary school days when in kindergarten kids would come up to me and tell me they wanted to have me at their birthday party but their paretns won't let them invite me as i'm too "wild" so you can see why i'm hyper sensitive 27 years later. FINE 28 YEARS! I LIE ABOUT MY AGE ALL THE TIME!!

So currently I am without internet at home. For the past 4 months I’ve been stealing it from my neighbor. Then on Friday morning I woke up and BAM, no more interent. I thought to myself, surely this will be rectified soon, but alas, it’s now Sunday and my airport hasn’t seen it since. Personally I think they’re kinda selfish moving or turning it off seeing I needed it.

This is going to complicate my life. I also use the internet at the WGA but it doesn’t open it’s doors until 10:30 am and I get up much earlier than that. So this weekend since I don’t have the internet to waste hours and hours of my life on, I have finished my fandango article that was due Friday, I’ve also mopped all the floors in my apartment, dusted the entire apartment, vacuumed the entire apartment, cleaned up everything that’s been lying around my apartment, really really obsessively cleaning the place.

Now tomorrow I strike! You’re supposed to strike where you work, seeing as I work at the WGA, it would be weird to strike there since they’re my union. I guess I could strike at my apartment, just walk up and down my street with my picket. But I don’t think this will be very effective. I think I’m going to head to CBS with my picket and red t-shirt.

Friday night I went to my fave restaurant, dominicks and had dinner with bernsie and Kyle. Then we went to a bday party for Paula in santa monica. Sat.: Monique, natalya, bernsie and I went to janae baby shower in fullerton AKA really far away from LA and boy did we talk about that the entire way down . So far in fact that they have Chik-fil-a down there, they only have that in like Georgia, if that’s any indication how far away this party was from LA.

I’m about to head to dinner again at dominicks with Christie and her BF and his friends. Yum.

a weekend of signs

I got 2 signs this weekend:

the first one was when i went to go buy beer for the friday night halloween party. I didn't get ID-ed and when I looked at my receipt it said "VERIFICATION BYPASSED"

MEANING: I'M OLD

they no longer needs to verify if i'm over 21. i have dreaded this day. what a harsh way to learn it: verification bypassed seems so cruel.

second sign: Next time be more considerate, ASSHOLE! This was a note i found on my car saturday evening when i came out after an art show. I have the note and am going to take a picture of it. but i checked and i wasn't blocking a driveway or boxing anyone in. I really wish this angry person would've elaborated on my transgression. clearly next time i won't be considerate becuase i dont know what i did wrong.

steve, monique, dylan and i.




went to ricks annual halloween party last night. it was fun in a very tame adult, we have kids and/or are pregnant sort of night. grrrr. oh and with the exception of the 24 year olds who are friends of rick's new GF (he recently got divorced) so it was a bunch of oldies and then 24 y/o who are dressed like whores.

I'm not sure the order of the pics, but a few are of erica who announced her pregnanacy dressing as a cadillac escalade with the the tag "baby on board" and then the due date on the license plate on the back, very cute. she has been trying to get preggers for like 3 years so we're all thrilled. I'm feeling up kristin's boobs in one pic.

I'm the gorilla BTW.

teh party was fun-ish. more fun than i thought it was going to be as i wasn't drinking. so i thought i woudn't have fun, but my big group of friends was there, so that fun!!

yesterday i had my meeting. it was good, it went well, i handled the bitch v. easily. puddy in my hands.

then i wen tout with kristin, jackie and natalya to the best new restaurant in la. FYI these women are totally fucking rich. 2 working writers and then nat who's husband runs a tv show, so she's rich by proxy. me: not so much right now, sooo of course they pick THE MOST $$$$$$ RESTAURANT, but it was worth it. it was amazing. so amazing. i'm not sure i've had such a fantastic meal

the place is craft, which is from tom collicio (sp?) the guy from top chef and what i loved about the restaurant was everything was perfect for the season. oh and at the end of the meal, they gives us individually wrapped muffins for b'fast, pumpkin muffins, soooo good! this place was ridic!!!!! go there!!! its amazing!!!! best food eeeevvvveeeerrr!

i'm fat

its official

i have a major crush on anderson cooper. sure he's allegedly gay, but i love him nevertheless. i find him so ridic. attractive.

how can you not? and he's so funny, i watch his show like every night on CNN.

I have a meeting with the above mentioned network today in regards to my high profile project i'm writing for them.

so here's the gossip: they just brought on a new executive over the one who bought my project and you know what happens to the projects that are bought before someone comes in, they get pissed on. So i have to go in and meet with this person who i hear is a nightmare, a total uber bitch. and who has been pissing all over all the projects she didn't personally buy. GREAT.

also, this network just had a huge show bomb, one of their new scripted programs. and it bombed on monday night. so this should be fun!!!!

i'm stressed about this meeting because i've been warned the bitch smells fear and will tear you apart. and the asst. warned me becaue I'm so easy going that she's worried this woman will steam roll me, so now i have to have a zone defense ready for her when she questions things in my script and why i wrote what i did.

dating tip

here's a dating tip, when you go on a date with a guy u met on the internet, know what his name is BEFORE you arrive.

yeah, cause i didn't

i went to luna park last night to meet up with an internet guy, i thought his name was dan, i have no idea why. I only know 2 dans: my brother and my friend who is married.
but anyway, i walked up to him and said "are you dan?" he said no, then i had to look around some more and be like I swear that guy looks like the guy (FYI looked like, but did not really look like him, he must've showed a picture from ages ago) then i had to be like ummmmm.... and then he said "you're sarah." and i was so fucking humiliated!!!! he told me at the end of the date, at that moment he was going to be like "yeah, lets just go home." but thankfully when we sat down I wowed him with my gorilla run story. Good to know that's such a great story.

anyway, he was very nice, once he got over the attitude of me not knowing his name. I had to work extra hard and be extra "everythings cool" even though he was kinda being a bitch about it with his attitude and smarmy look. I was like furiously trying to peddle the bicycle. I could totally tell he wanted to hit eject with how he was giving me smarm looks, anyway, we ate s'mores which is why we went there since I love s'mores and say so on my bio.

we had fun. i'm not drinking in the month of october, so i drank lemonade i didn't tell him of course I wasn't drinking for that reason, kinda makes it seem like I'm a drunk if i have a rule where I take a month off of booze every year, so i just said "Oh I took an allergy pill b/c of all the smoke and crap in the air right now and can't have a drink." this relationship is already built on lies, i think the best ones are.

anyway, he walked me to my car and said good night. I think he's very smart and nice and would go out with him again. I'm trying to do that more, give peopel more than one shot to impress me. I'm such a bitch, i know but i'm trying not to be!

type A

when i was growing up i pretended to not care about anything. ever. truth is i cared about everything. However people are stupid and coudn't tell, or maybe some could. but a lot of my friends in irvington still think of me as a fuck up.

here's the reality.

I'm a fucking type A perfectionist.

which is why taking tennis is proving to be disastorous. In the past 4 weeks of my lessons, my game has improved so dramatically that all the people in my class are stunned as is the teacher. Like stunned, they cannot believe how much better i've gotten. Im focused, I'm driven and I really work at it.

tonight on the court, my game was so on. and i was no longer the suck ass player. and then is started, the john mcenroe melt downs. becuause I am a perfectionist and know that I'm much better, I now expect so much of myself, i expect perfection which i know is irrational and unrealistic, but tonight I missed an easy shot and screamed, threw down my racket and walked off the court, later I rolled around on the ground in pure agony. it's agony not being perfect.

the instructor said something about my competitive side coming, but i'm not competitive with other people, i do not care about other people, i'm so wrapped up in my own progress. he even pretended to hit me with the racket after a missed a shot and i didn't even notice, he was all You didn't even flinch, I was inches away from hitting you. I said I was too mad at myself to notice anything else around me.

i'm turning into john mcenroe.

oh and the girls in my class finally asked me if I wanted to play during the week. No one has aksed me before cause i suck, but now i'm good and they all want a piece. I'm kidding, but it does feel good. Man, when I focus I hyper focus, not sure it's a good thing...

Does this guy look gay to you? he's on brothers and sisters and I saw him walk into the little door next door last week and.... I find him super fly, so why didn't i follow him in? I was outside talking to my friend Paul and just had a big lunch with my friend carrie and didn't need to eat or drink any more coffee even if a tv star was in the showp. but he looked so cute!!!! he's from wales, i think we would make a cute couple.

I wonder if he lives in the nieghborhood becuase I live in the neighborhood and it would be so convenient.

also on the male front, there's a guy who i have a mild interest in, he was the one in april who after my friends premire party tracked my email down and send me an email. i went to see his band the other night and he seemed so happy to see me and kept touching me while he talked to me, and so i sent him some pics from the gorilla run cause he donated and then NOTHING. my friend karen was with me and was like "i think doug likes you, he kept touching you, he wasn't touching me!" and i was like "nooooo" but inside i was like "yaaaayyy!!"

but now im disappointed cuase i haven't heard from him

i just exhibitted some serious will power. tonight i was reallly hungry, and told myself if i went to the gym i could then afterward get dominick's spag. and meatballs for takeout. It's my fave restaurant in LA and so fucking good.

while on the eliptical, where I did 4 miles and burned 400 calories, i said no sarah, u have veggies and eggs in ur fridge that are about to go bad, make something out of that and u can save money and eat a healthy alternative. so i did!!

then i said i'd reward myself by going to the grocery after and picking up some more sugar free choc. pudding, but whenever i go to the store these days buy candy corn and said no i wont do that, but that lasted until i got in the aisle of candy and ooked up and down so then i said if i dont see the candy corn during my first pass of the candy aisle, then i'm not allowed to go back and look again, that was the sign i'm not supposed to get the large autumn candy corn mix with pumpkin and chocolate candy corn as well. NO I AM NOT! well of course, i turned around after failing to see the bag the first pass, i mean where could they be hiding, they wre right here last sunday night, dammit!

but alas, i wouldn't allow myself to do another drive by. so i came home, with the pudding, soy milk and banans and some more of my favorite yogurt (real yogurt not frozen) I've found that one yogurt a day has solved my stomach problems... of course until they start up again.

so i turned down the spag and meatballs, saved money and turned down candy corn. so proud of myself.

do i seem obsessed? that was rehtorical.

went yesterday to an autumn festival in moorpark. It was like something stright out of gimore girls. it was about an hour outside of LA. went with my friends who have kids, i was the 7th wheel. I went with amy and greg and their 2 kids, sooooooo cute these kids and babies playing on the hay, posing on big pumpkins, etc.

saw pig racing!!! i feel like i'm in the country not the 2nd largest city in the us.

there was a cow ride and each cow had a name, as u can see one was named sarah, my name.

I have commitment issues that i need to stop. let me slow down.

last week i was watching oprah with alexis stewart where she talked about getting preggers in her early 40s and how impossible it was proving to be and how all these magazines make it seem like she has plenty of time to get preggers cause people are having their 2nd child in their 50s. but she says its just not true.

so i panicked and that night got back online dating and winked at a couple of guys, 10 2 b exact, only 2 winked back. that's a 20% return rate, better than a stock portfolio i guess.

i need to meet someone. i'm not sure i want kids or what have u, they seem like a lot of work and i'm lazy by nature, but i need to get on it so as at least have a chance and not be fucked if i decide in 5 years that's exactly what i want!!

under pressure

prob. is i have major commitment issues that i need to adress, but who has the time, according to alexis stewart, i'm alredy too late!!! AARRRGGGHH!!!!!

the guy on the left is Sam, my english lova! 6 feet 4 inches of loveliness.

I HAVE A CANDY CORN HANGOVER.... I WISH I WAS KIDDING

must stop eating candy corn.

so when i was in high school, billy joel released this song called we didn't start the fire and it was like cool to memorize the entire thing, dont really know why or if it was cool at all, perhaps only i thought it was cool

anyway, i found this site that hyperlinks EVERY word of that song so you know what every event he's takling about is, it's pretty awesome. or maybe i just think it's awesome and it's not.

WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE HYPERLIN

how do they know this?

i was just at Ralphs shopping for groceries and needed salsa. So i went up to an employee and said "wheres the salsa?" and she said without a 2nd thought, "aisle 13."

how did she know this? do they have to memorize where EVERY SINGLE ITEM is in the store? i'm always suprised when they all know this. I dont even know where i put my keys IN MY OWN HOUSE!

i'm so tired, i have been burning the candle at both ends. today i woke up at 9am and that ws so late for me as I have been gettting up at 7 and going to ed at like 2.

another friend read the script last night, she said it's good. i still think everyone is lying to me. i mean it's no House (best show on TV along with Friday night lights)
but it is very MTV cartoon, which seeing that it is an MTV cartoon sounds right.

it's that time of the year again....

i hate halloween, i mean HATE HATE HATE IT. I miss my old roomie stacey terribly, but she is crazy in love with halloween and that is the only reason i'm glad shes not around anymore as she used to make me celebrate this stupid holiday.


but here's the only reason why i like this time of year...



I cannot go into Ralphs without picking a bag of this devils brew up! I'm even considering buying bags and bag to last me until the new year!!!

speaking of the new year, as a result of the 3 some i had last year and the blackout/falling down the subway stairs and then unblacking out I grounded myself on Jan 1st for 2007-2008 new years eve. that's right an entire year before I already told myself i was being punished for said behavior. so now chatter is happening about this NYE and people think i'm lame for not allowing myself to go out. I think a glass of wine and a night at the cinema might do a gal good.

i'm stressed. I have so much going on this week it's crazy. I'm furiouslly writing my MTV show script doubting now whether I can even write. I wrote for 4 hours yesterday after my pitch to TBS and athen went to tennis and while trying to perfect my backhand I came to the conclusion that I needed to work much more.

so at 9pm i sat down at my computer and worked for 4 more hours. today i met my friend at Peets coffee to discuss it. Shes not one of those people who is honest so it's hard to know how sh really felt about the script. this is what i've learned about people. She doens't like to get notes or do re-writes on her scripts and she takes notes so personally that sometimes she cries when you says "i dont really know the voice of this character" so as a result, she doesn't give honest notes. Meanwhile, if i read something, i'm like hate it, love it, needs work, dont get, becaues i think getting notes only makes a script better and i welcome them and do not take it personally. If you dont get something u dont get it and chances are other people wont end of story!

so now i'm doing another re-write to send to my friend Alan who will hopefully be more honest. although that s not to say my friend this a.m. wan'st helpful, she def. was.

another thing though is that she says when i ask her to read a script "you better hire me on this," or "you better by me a latte," she always wants payback, meanwhile I read her script a few weeks ago and just read it and didn't demand anything, but she ALWAYS needs to have an agenda, always needs to tell u why she's doing you a favor, always needs to be OWED!

it's annoying

phew! i got a $600 residual check yesterday that i immediately sent to my Credit card whose balance i have let accrue which is so unlike me it's ridic! so when i got the check in teh mail, i sent the exact amount to my 2 credit cards (you know things are bad when you start choosing which card to use) that is going to put a nice dent in what I owe. thank heaven!

yesterday i found a dollar on the sidewalk, it made me smile,

today i have to pitch to my sony producer more ideas to go out with to the networks again, meanwhile i'm furiously drownging in my mtv script as it's a complete mess and not at all funny. Man pilots are hard you have to set up the characters, all their relationships while making it funny. It's already 12 pages and it's only supposed to be 17, oh well, try more like 30. i'll have to make cuts after wards.

so ive come up with like 15 ideas to pitch the producer today, some are dark and crazy, but most have a hook which is what she likes.

on monday i'm stepping in for a 2 month gig back on my ivillage tv website to help out suzy, shout out!! because the gal who took over after me quit. also i write the house recaps on that site and loooove that. Its fun to read the comments other fans post based on my questions about the episode.

i'm tired

if you have any ideas for a tv show please share ASAP

i'm still recovering from jet lag which i've never really had before as i usually get to my destingation and work out or run or walk and that really helps, but since i've been back, i've been sitting and writing non stop, so no workouts so this jet lag has been dragging. It didn't help that on sunday night in london after our flight turned around and landed back in london that i went to bed at 130am and had to get up at 4am to fight with united about putting me on a direct to LA flight and then was too riled up to sleep again, so i didn't really get a good nights sleep and thats just fucked me!

oh well

off to create a tv show...

more london pics

here's one of the other gorilla's and one of the tower bridge i stayed just on the other side!

on frieday night in london, i got free tickets to see ricky gervais in concert! HOLY SHIT IS THAT GUY HAILAROUS!

my seat was amazing, 8th row center, amazing.

where to begin..

i'mnot sure, and i know i dont have time to dicuss all that happened in london right now as i'm on deadline for the mtv show...

let's just say after my encounter with the hot brit, i got a UTI and was peeing blood for about 5 days, at first i had no idea waht was going on and had to google it at 2 am in cambridge b/c i thought i was going to die. then the next day i hit up a homeopathic place as a doctor would've been a waste of a day and they gave me some stuff to make me more comf. until i got home and started chowing down on anti biotics.

ok, so on my flight from dc to london, i met this girl who sat next to me named sarah.
and turns out, she is me. literally. let me start listing it off

she sleeps for 12 hours a day, so do i
she is really funny and has so much energy, so am i
she loves stephen fry, so do i
she loves harry potter, so do i
she works in tv, so do i
she wants to live in london, so do i
she has brown hair, so do i and the same lienght as mine
her name is sarah, so is mine.


she told her friends in london about me and they were like "she sounds like you."

i've never met any one who is so much like me and that inclusdes stacey who is eerily like me, this person is LITERALY ME!

we were on the same flight back to d.c. that took off then after 2 hours turned around and landed back in london where we were all put in a hotel. we hung out at the pub and drank beer and talked and she is me, i swear, we even prefer the same beer. she called me the next a.m. and we got b'fast together and headed to heathrow together but i got on a direct flight to l.a. so we had to break up.

making the love

so i've been in london now for almost a week i suppose. well, i think today is thurs. right? so that means tomorrow is friday and i landed on friday sio yes almost a week. anyway so much to report. i'm right now in cambridge, came here for the afternoon and got a booking at a hostel. theyr';e not for young peeps anymore. or at least this is what il ike to think. i walked around this evening and stopped ina burger place and got a free glass of wine as they moved me around tables a few times and felt bad, ah such is the life of a single person.

so on saturday ir an the gorilla run, went to the after party that night where i met sam, the hottie director of fundraising for them. we flirted and while on the dance floor he tokld me he wished he coudl show me around london but he was leaving on wed. for his best mates wedding. of course this didn't stop me from pursuing hi. he asked me out to lunch on monday but it turned into drinks as i had a few meetings and we TOTALLY made out. he's blonde and 6'4. OMG hot hot hot. i had emailed him a few times before coming to london since i diodn't want my gorilla suit shipped there. so he knew of me. the girls from teho ffice there saw me wadnering around th party alone and told me to drink with them. i was in with the group. we partied and danced to 2 am they couldn't believe i was 29!! gasp. they were 22. we then walked to SE1 a part of london, turns out nothing going ont here, but walking over the london bridge at 3 am was intteresting. we then got a cab to leister square and i had now completely confused my jeet lag body. at 430am i bailed and sam (the boy) got me a pedi cab as he didn't want a cab taking me since theyr'e all dodgy and not licensed (no black cabs to be found) so i took a pedi cab back to mty place at 430am, it was freezing, over the london bridge we went, hilarious.

sunday i met up with some friends of friends who just graduated from columbia business school, they were cool had drinks with them anc then we headed to a restuarant for dinner. I've eaten like 4 times since ive been here so i skipped the meal but drank, i've been doing A LOT OF THAT.

met up with sam monday evening and made out. told u that already. then tues i went to skaespeare globe and saw merchant of venice and wasn't a big fan, then also checked out big ben and westminster abbey. v, cool. met up with sam that night and we listened to jazz and then one thing led to another and he came home with me. please, hes 6'4 and british, it was a no brainer. he's freaking the hottest guy i've hooked up with. duh. i out did myself.

wed. we got up and got some b'fast he headed home, no idea if i'll ever see him again, but he asked me to be his facebook friend, what does that mean? hilar!

wed. i had 3 meeetings with various tv production companies, one a the shoreditch house, which is the same as the soho house but in shoreditch. london has a ton of these private clubs all around the city. i love it here. love love love.

today i met up with nicole who was in the gang i met on sunday and we went to lunch at covent gardens and then st. pauls cathedral. amazxing. headed up to cambridge where i now sit. tomoro early i'm going to norfolk to check out a market town in the coutnry and then back to london to hear RICKY FUCKING GERVAIS!!! he's doing standup and i got free tickets through one of these tv peeps i met yester!! tomorrow night i'm staying in swiss cottage, fancy and then sat. i'm meeting up with paula from la and staying at her hotel, she's here on business, i leave sunday!! so freakin sad as i have to start writing the script of my mtv show immediately upon returning to l.a.
