Microsoft all Week.

Finished off Lane's birthday with a Lobster and Steak dinner at James Beach. The mural in the post office is cool. Bought a Matisse print. Thanks Mom and Dad. Started a Microsoft job. Raining on Monday. Saw Super Man walking in the rain on Hollywood Blvd. Found a Burger joint called Hole in the Wall. Good Burger. Hung out with three Second City teachers. Those guys are funny. Got my car towed. Stood in on a wardrobe fitting. Lane picked me up from work. KU beat Texas. Go JayHawks. Raining on Tuesday. Got my car back. Saw a Rainbow over the 101 Freeway. Shot in a coffee shop. Got home late. Shot in a fake plane on Wednesday. The Microsoft commercial is trying to be funny but it is not. Our Director wore a suit everyday to work. Worked as a 2nd AD (for a pa rate) on a toy commercial Thursday. Bondai Ben Ten Alien Force. "Humongousaur Transform!" "Echo Echo Expand!" Directing kids playing with toys looks hard. Shot in Onterio on Friday. Left the house at 3:00 am. Saw a statue of an Asian guard in front of a Payless Shoe store. Stood under palm trees and looked up at snow covered mountains. Wrapped late. Traffic on the way home. Took Lane out for a late cocktail at World Cafe. Went home ready for the weekend. Lane starts her week of vacation.

Coors Light Job

Started a new job. Coors Light. Pick Ups on Monday. Made it home in time to watch the OSU game. Go Cowboys. In Pasadena on Tuesday. An overweight guy in the agency named Ziggy talked my ear off about KU. Company move. Locking up on Wilshire is hard. Tried to watch the new Lost episode. Fell asleep on the couch. Wednesday. Happy birthday baby. Shot at a wedding gown shop and a Liquor store. Had to take 8 different highways to get to work. Company move. The previous owner of the liquor store where we were shooting sold the place one week before the winning lotto ticket was purchased there. Owners of the winning store receive $500.000. He heard about the winning ticket and had a stroke. I asked the new owner how he knew that. "He is my brother in law" the new owner said. We had Pizza for second meal. (second meal is when you shoot long enough that they have to pay for a second meal. Usually pizza or cold Baja Fresh.) Watched the KU game in the back of the truck on my laptop. Go Jayhawks. Wrapped Late. Free Coors Light in the Truck while we wrap. Got pulled over on the way home because I "fit the description of a fugitive." Got home late. Watched Lost all the way through. Thursday. Downtown. Shooting in a jewelry shop and a fake bakery with a cool ceiling. I love spending a whole day outside downtown. Saw a car I one day will own. Los Angeles Athletic Club does not look that athletic. The buildings down here are beautiful. Saw a pigeon with a club foot. Everyone speaks a different language. The traffic is loud. "Is there concrete all around or is it in my head?" I'm glad I don't live downtown. 20 Extras. Wrapped early. Home before the sun went down. Returns tomorrow. Ready for the weekend.

Slept in a little on Saturday morning, then Lane made us biscuits and gravy. We watched the Cowboys game. Go Cowboys. Went and got a frame. Shopped for some new kitchen ware. Watched the Jayhawks win. Go Jayhawks. I told Lane we were going to the Canal Club for just a few drinks. When we got there I took her up to the upstairs private room where about 10 of our closest friends were waiting for her. Surprise. Sushi. Saki. Good times. Henano's. The Whaler. Stayed up late to celebrate. Slept in again Sunday. Cleaned the house while Lane slept. New cartoons. Ready to start the week.
