Where the Dark is Dark at 7pm

Where to begin?

I began Day 2 of my internship dressed like a flaming moron, again. "Did you wear your sweatpants?" Anne asked me. Of course, I did.  Not like MICHIGAN sweatpants with a gratuitous slogan on the leg. Just like, the pair of pants I've sewn 8 times due to tearing. Oh get over it... I did. I'm going shopping tomorrow morning, so hopefully things in the fashion department will improve for me.

I spent a ridiculous amount of time at the post office today mailing "over-sized" envelopes. I spent an hour stuffing them, 30 minutes putting postage on them, and all of my arm strength to carry them 2 blocks to the post office, only to find out that I was 33 cents short per envelope. Hence a trip BACK to the office, BACK to the post office, and then right over to Staples to make things nice and complete. I actually enjoyed all of this. It's way better than sitting on my brother's recliner watching movies, hunting for jobs on Craigslist and inevitably coming up empty handed at the end of the day. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the 90 degree heat. Yes people, you heard me, IT'S 90 HERE. I was sweating balls on Sunset Boulevard, which I'm pretty sure you are NOT supposed to do.

A slightly cool thing is that they shot an episode of Degrassi outside of my building this weekend and they're shooting something else tomorrow. I swear to god, if I can just see one semi-famous person remotely close, I think my life would be complete. Well... not totally complete seeing as I still have no friends. I thought I was working on getting friends in San Diego, and then I decided to switch things to LA. I have to say though, in the absence of friends, I have had the most fun with these blood relatives. My cousin cooks for me constantly, like a mother. My brother is always fun, but now he's far away and probably barely misses me. J/K, he's probably just bitching at the wind over something that needs to be cleaned. He's terribly adorable though--and better be reading this right now.

I STILL have not gotten a chance to go to the movies recently because I'm tired and driving insane amounts, so top of my list is "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist" (I confess, mostly because I want to hear what music they chose) and right after that is LEO'S NEW MOVIE!!!! which opens this weekend. I'm going to drag my big guy to that one. Maybe Devon too. Maybe it'll be a Tevo+Meg movie night. We haven't doubled on that kind of social scene yet.

Is it Thanksgiving yet? Actually, lets put that one off. I don't want to be 22 anytime soon.
