I've been kind of behind on what has been happening with me this week, it's just been so busy!
Well for starters, I worked 2 overnight shifts earlier in the week. I was running low on energy and sleep by the time I got through them. In between my down time my roomie's friend and I went to go and see Toy Story 3. I LOVE the Toy Story movies, they are so cute and funny!
I went to my first club called 8Eighty8 Club in the OC. $20 cover. My roomie says that's typical. I say that's way too much! The go-go-dancers also had no personality and were not giving it their all, you could tell that they just got hired for their good looks and hot bods...sad sad sad...I've seen better go-go dancers back home!
This week was also Social Media Week in Los Angeles. There were a ton of panels where organizations discussed how they use social media (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc...) to help gain exposure to their business, product or client. I volunteered for 2 shifts: one at the House of Blues and one at the W Hotel in Hollywood.
The HOB is off of the Sunset Strip and featured concert promoter LiveNation. My job was to check in panelists and guests. I spent a couple hours doing this. Unfortunately, I was so worn out from all of my overnight shifts that I ended up leaving a couple hours early. I ate dinner upstairs and had this awesome shrimp, rice and green beans dish. Then I went home and crashed for 14 hours.
The next night was at the W Hotel off of Hollywood Blvd and it featured different local fashion businesses. Once again I checked people in. I also copied down a lot of the businesses and looked them up when I got home but none of them really interested me. By the time we were done, there was nothing much more to do, so I went to Cravings at Sunset Plaza and had a glass of wine and chicken curry.
Getting home was interesting, the ho brought me to a sobriety test area. For those of you who don't know who the "ho" is, that is the name for my GPS. I will be talking about her many times in the near future. I wanted to make a mean name for her and I thought "bitch", "tramp" "slut" were too simple. The ho got me into my car accident out here. The ho will recalculate many times, telling me to go one direction then suddenly changing her mind and telling me to turn around and go back to where I came from. Now the ho brought me into a sobriety test area at 9:30pm when I had no intention of going there. I had half a glass of wine and more food than my stomach could handle. Just so everyone knows, California has a Zero Alcohol Tolerance Law. Luckily, the officer shined the light in my eyes and let me pass. Then I got to the 10 Freeway.
Today I had a meeting with a temp agency called AppleOne, I had 2 friends recommend them to me. I had an awesome meeting with the lady who is going to look for some entertainment/media jobs for me. It loos pretty promising! I also got my nails done and laid low the rest of the night, I have been feeling a little under the weather. :( And spwaking of weather, the high was 100 today and the same for tomorrow. Not looking forward to it...
I also got my absentee ballot in the mail today. Go Mark Dayton!
This weekend is pretty much crazy. My friend Nicole and I are going to a modeling call for LA Fashion Week, they are looking for models 5'9"-6'0". We are both tall, so why not try? :) I also work my traffic job there afterwards until 1030pm. Then I have to be at work to manage a Yoplait Smoothie promo at 430am the next day. I know, I know, where's the sleep?
This coming week I work one overnight shift, work a Duarte promo and I finally have a meeting with the agent from Paramount to see if he can point me in the right direction and what not.
Random one sentence thoughts....I am waiting to see when I am going to San Fran for a visit....I am coming home to Mpls for Xmas for 7 days, I am so excited! I also scheduled a hair apt and a couple doc visits while I am home...I'm shopping around my many exclusive Michael Jackson photos that I have, I am not sure if people pay or if they give credit but I want to see how much they would offer. I think it's more of a curiousity thing than anything else.
