DON'T WORRY!!! There will be a Thanksgiving post soon! I'm uploading video as we speak, but I have to go to work and I don't know if I'll have time till Monday, my day off to update. But there are some great pictures of Thanksgiving day, and the days leading up to it with our friend Hollie Tucker who was visiting from Texas this week (who also woke me up this morning to say goodbye by sticking a pen in my nose.) LOVE HER!

SORRY! I know it's been a couple of weeks, but I haven' really been up to anything. There are a few things I can report, but not much. Last Thursday, Jason and I went to see Ashley in her sketch comedy class' show.

Then the cast, Jason and I went out to Mel's Diner. It's funny, because I'd seen this place a few times on TV before, including that Monday's episode of Studio 60.
Beam to today, I wanted to get out so I went to Best Buy (and didn't buy anything!!!) Then I went to Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash on Westwood. That's where one of my roomates and I met Jason Mewes (Jay) my Sophomore year. I did buy something there though, a little figurine signed by Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) to go on my computer desk. Tonight, just as I was typing this brief update, Scher called to see if I wanted to see Casino Royale to which I basically responded "duh". So, I'm going to go make tequittos then go see the new Bond Movie. Monday I think I'm finally seeing The Departed with Brian. Ricky keeps asking if I've seen it yet and I'm tired of saying "no".

Tomorrow I work loadout for the Damn Yankees set at Pepperdine, then I'm going to go hang and focus lights for a friend at a theater on Hollywood and Vine till at least 2am. But I'm working again!!! Then, next week I work the five days around Thanksgiving for David at Pepperdine for a show that's coming in. I'm not even sure what show it is, but I'll et y'all know. I'll be spending Thanksgiving with Scher and our friend Adam Ebert at Adam's place, and we'll be cooking, eating and watching football all day. Then Jason and our friend Holly (who is coming in to visit next week from Texas) are going to show up and we'll all hang out. We're inviting anyone else who can't make it home to come over, so there may be more people involved.
Love you all, and feel free to leave a comment now. Robin told me how to enable those who don't have a blog account to leave comments.

Okay, to make up for the last update being so long, and because I already wrote one really long update last night only to have it mysteriously deleted, this one will be short(ish) and to the point. I've worked one day this entire week. This was a blessing and a curse. I get bored easily. Quick update on the past week.
Last Saturday I worked at a book signing in Beverly Hills. It was for the author of The Black Dhalia. In attendance, among other people, were Gary Schandling and Nicole Kidman. I KNOW! I love Nicole Kidman, save for all the press. It was a small party so I was around her for a good two hours. To say the least it was one of the better events I've worked so far. Sunday I went to church then went over to Adam's with Brian where we had a lengthy chat and prayer time. It was very encouraging and uplifting, we're going to try to do it once a week when we can all get together. That night I went to Jason's improv show, in which there was only one audience member besides Brian and myself. But the troupe had a great time and a very funny show. Afterwards we all (the troupe and tiny audience) went to the Thai restraunt next door.

Monday I did a whole lot of nothing until that evening when Jason, Zac, Brian, Lauren and I all carved more pumkins to put on our porch for Trick or Treaters to know we're in business on Holloween. We did this and had Marie Calanders pumkin pie.
Tuesday... Oh man Tuesday. I woke up, looked at my mess of a room and decided it was now or never. I got up, cleaned my room, opened my shelf boxes and mirror packages, put everthing up and finally finished my room! (There are before and after videos below for your viewing edification.) But that's not all! After that I did some shopping, came back and did the dishes (put away clean and placed the dirty in the machine). Then I scrubbed the kitchen floor which tends to get a little dirty and sticky after a while. Then I scrubbed the bathtub, toilete and sink. We all take turns doing these things, but I felt I needed to do them all at once while I was possessed so. I feel useless if I'm not working, hanging out with people or doing anything remotely productive. After all that cleaning, Adam, Brian, Lauren, Ashley, Megan and Nina came over to pass out candy to Trick or Treaters. Everytime they knocked on the door we'd all yell and overwhelm the kids as we opened the door. I don't think I even heard a "trick or treat" exclaimed the entire night over our yelling. It was awesome. After our last visiter to the door, we played poker and watched Shaun of the Dead. I love that movie.

Wednesday I catered a charity at the Wiltern Theater. Thursday I went over to Brian's where his roomate Marc De Lagarza made a Mexican salad and beans for some people. Then we watched Lauren on Ugly Betty and played some Pictionary and Taboo. It was a really fun night. Yesterday I did NOTHING and it sucked. Today Zac, Jason, Brian and a couple of Zac's friends and I played some frisbee in the park just down the street. Then Brian and I picked up Lauren and we went to see Jars of Clay on Alumni Park at Pepperdine. Melissa was there too. And if you have not noticed yet, we never take a serious picture.



It was a good concert, they played mostly new stuff that I had not heard yet and it was weird. I was expecting to sing along to everything. But I bought a shirt, a jacket, a hat and their new CD. I needed at jacket and some new clothes, so it wasn't entirely splurging. So, it's been a pretty good week. I just hope I work a bit next week, and then more the next. Holiday season should pickup, so I'm not worried at all. God has been very providing. Oh yeah! Mom, Ricky and Nate have all told me that they've been seeing Brian A LOT in the Big Lots commercials. That's awesome, but everyone should also go to elfthevote.com and play around for a bit. Brian is all over it! The videos are a lot of fun and almost entirely improvised. And be sure to vote for Brian as your favorite elf!
So this wasn't as short as I thought it would be, but still shorter than the first time I wrote it last night. Without further ado, I give you... My Room: Before and After
BEFORE

And I'm not sure what happened, but the audio got a bit un-synced on the before video, sorry about that.
