A visiting friend, Another job and down time...

It's been a while since the last post, but a lot has been going on.

Two weekends ago a long time friend and former roomie from Famu trekked over to the West coast for a visit.   She arrived on a Thursday night and left the following Tuesday.  We had non-stop fun the whole time she was here.  (Ok, maybe not completely non-stop, but we had quite a bit of fun.)

Malibu!

My Hommie!

Here's a quick recap:
3D Imax viewing of the Avengers (My new favorite superhero/action movie), Shopping, Overlooking the night city lights at the Griffith Park Observatory...

An overpriced, over-rated brunch, A food-truck festival, A'beer-pong' birthday party (which seemed pretty silly to me,) a night at 'Booty' (the nightclub,)

Great praise and worship at church, a trip to Malibu, freshly made ice-cream sandwiches from the famous Diddy Riese, A daylong visit to Universal Studios-Hollywood (which isn't nearly as cool as Universal Studios-Orlando in my humble opinion,) dinner at the exclusive, invite only Magic Castle (only real 'magicians' are allowed to become members for a mere $1500.00 fee,) lots of laughs, lots of fun and lots of catching up.

Universal Studios - Hollywood

 After I took her to the airport early Tuesday morning, I pretty much hit a wall.  I was quite tired on the drive home and I would have come home and gone to sleep, but I had to get gas, and run some errands...plus I had already promised one of my new friends that I would go to see The Avengers a second go round...so I did all that.  Around 3ish, I came home and promptly fell asleep.

The City Lights

Best Ice Cream sandwiches ever!

The next day I had plans to write and catch up on sleep (a little bit anyways)...but that plan was thwarted when my tutee texted me to remind me that we were meeting up in the afternoon...so that kinda changed the plans of the day, but it was still all good.


The next day I got a call from a friend about a job for a few days working on the 'Basketball Wives Season 4 Reunion,' which I accepted and worked with the weekend up until yesterday.

It was an interesting shoot.  It was very much more frazzled than it needed to be on the production side, but while we were shooting I was a talent wrangler, so I basically just saw to any needs of the 2 women in my care.

I don't really watch the show, but my ladies were pretty nice and all the ladies looked really great (particularly Shaunie O'neal) and ALL the ladies had really fancy shoes.  They aren't walking shoes and they certainly aren't everyday shoes, but they were all something special.

The Magic Castle

Today...well, I caught up on some emails, worked on some graphics projects that unfortunately got pushed to the side while working and focused the rest of my time on getting back into a writing groove...and obviously getting caught up on the blog and some of the happenings since the last post.


Well, maybe a little dinner, then back to writing...I've got some personal deadlines to meet which I will prayerfully get done before I find another gig...like next week...

I press on...
