Today began an unusual day for me. I began working at
an intern today for a B movie studio. What that means is that
they produce movies you've never heard of, that go straight to
video, and that you'd probably laugh at just looking at the
title. I was expecting the office to be in some warehouse type
place, but it turned out to be a quaint little office on a side
street. Not too huge, but not ugly either.
So
as I walked into the office, there was this really ugly girl who
looked like someone I would NEVER EVER in my life associate with
in school. I know that sounds horrible, but if you saw what I
saw, you'd think the same thing. She would be with a group of
friends that had low self-esteem and would all look ugly. So,
when the director came, we all sat in the conference room,
introduced ourselves, and discussed what the whole internship
process would be like. We would be taking on multiple hats due
to the budget of the film, which is quite low I'm
assuming. Most
of the time spent here was downtime...just chilling, chatting,
and seeing what was going on. I'm not exactly sure how this
whole process will turn out, but the director swears that the
experience will be very engaging and a huge learning process.
Ugly girl's dad was apparently waiting outside this whole time,
and he was just going to wait there until we were finished, but
the thing was, we didn't know when we would be finished. We told
her to go outside, and tell her dad that he didn't have to wait
for her, because we didn't know how long we would be, but she
came back, and said that her dad would just wait. Robert, the
assistant producer said that the dad should just
"blaze" and that we would figure it out somehow.
"Blaze" is something I've never heard of in my life
for leave. So one of the other girls had to go out and talk to
the dad. So
around 12:30, we all went to Sunset area to find a potential
spot for us to do some production work, mainly casting I
believe. We needed to find a fairly small space, maybe just an
office space in someone's office, for about $400/month. We drove
past UCLA through Westwood? and for some odd reason, I felt ALL
this pretentiousness in the air. The houses were HUGE and extravagant
like none other, and I saw some nice cars (Ferrari F50? and a
Porsche Cayenne?). We drove
to Sunset area, and started calling up real estate agencies,
inquiring about the space and seeing how much it would cost. For
the most part, none of these places were renting out for short
periods of time, at least not like 1 month short. After maybe a
half hour to an hour, we gave up, and headed back. Three
factors made this whole situation worse: 1) The driving 2) The
weather 3) I used up a bunch of my anytime minutes making calls. This
whole time, I just couldn't get the fact that I didn't like that
one girl (the ugly one) for the longest time. She never had
anything productive to say, looked ugly, dressed horribly, and
just had nothing productive to say!!!! While we were looking for
spaces, she would point out signs. I'd be like "did you get
the #?" "no". I did all the talking too, even
though I really didn't know much about what was going on. She
also has no car! So while I was taking ugly back to the studio
so her dad could pick her up, I was like "Do you want to
call your dad so that he can pick you up?" "I'll just
wait til we get there." "Well, don't you want to call
so that he'll be there when I get there?" "No...I
don't think he's home." "Well don't you just want to
try?" After a couple more of these, she whipped out her
cell, and called home. "Hello? Jenny? Dad? are you home?
<someone picks up the phone> Oh hey dad, can you come pick
me up..blah blah blah....Oh, so my dad was home. He's normally
not at home." WTF..weirdo! Afterwards,
I met up with a friend of mine, Devin, in Sherman Oaks (He
actually lives REALLY close to the studio), and had a really
late lunch at this Greek restaurant. It was pretty good.

Went out to an Italian restaurant tonight in Old Town
Pasadena called Tre Venezie. This was definitely an upscale
Italian restaurant. My bro and I were the youngest people there,
and probably the only Asians. Everyone else was White and old,
and most were getting multi-course meals with wine whereas my
bro and I only got an entree. I got a beef ravioli dish with a
wine reduction sauce...($20), and my bro got a beef dish (~$30).
Restaurant was good, but seemed like it was meant for snooty old
white rich people. This
past week, I did a bunch of the same stuff as the previous 9-10
months. Sitting on my ass doing nothing. I did get an invitation
to go to Mike Huoh's get together on Wednesday night for dinner.
Burgers and potato wedges. The night was an escape from my usual
boring life, and it was fun being able to talk to people on a
social level again. I left with 3 boxes of Perugina chocolates
that retail for $30 each. On the way back home, I was making a
left turn onto Huntington, but accidentally made a left turn
onto the lane for incoming traffic, so I had to bust a U, then
make a right turn back onto the street I originally made that
left turn from, the made another U, then made a left turn onto
the correct lane. Went
to go eat out everyday. Had Yoshinoya's twice, a Mexican hole in
the wall once, and a GOOD Mexican restaurant another.

"If it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it
down" What's
red and yellow and looks good on a hippie? Highlight

Bought a new bed today. Spent $800 + tax + delivery charges,
so almost $900. This is where all the magic will happen, if I
ever get the chance.... like move the hell out of my parents
house! LOL. So,
would it be safe to say that I don't know my geography if I told
you that I didn't know where Chicago is, and that if you asked
me where Baghdad was before the war started, I'd say India and
not Iraq.?

So I'm watching The Pulse, a FOX Network television show,
and there's this segment about this chick who wants to get all
this plastic surgery done on her. And during this one sappy
moment, they were playing Howie Day's "Ghost"!!! AWWW
YEAA!!! You know Howie Day is good damnit!

So as I was driving home today after picking up some lunch,
I noticed I was following a tow truck. I was waiting at a stop
light while the truck was making a u-turn on a street, looking
for the person who's car broke down. I looked at who was driving
the truck, and it was the same guy who towed my truck!! LOL! How
funny is that?

Went to a credit union to see about a teller job, but the
manager wasn't there, so I talked to the assistant manager who
told me a little more about the job. It's part-time, so I'm not
sure if I want to take it, but if I have nothing else lined up,
why not. While I was waiting in the lobby, this woman's phone
was ringing. Her ringtone was a Christmas song!! HELLO!! Earth
to woman. It ain't Christmas no more! While I was getting an
"interview", this white chick came in, and her name
tag said Kim Nguyen. Guess she married a Vietnamese guy.
My first
sexual experience: When Paul Robert Josenhans touched my
sexually and made me squirt all over the place.
