It is ridiculously HOT outside today.

Last night was Trisha's Birthday party at club PLAY in Hollywood. Earlier in the night Trisha and I grabbed some dinner at Sharkys. After dinner, we had nearly 2 hours to kill before the club opened,so we went to this hole-in-the-wall bar around the corner. It was some kind of improve-comedy night in the bar. It was so random - the comics were terrible. One girl was so fed up with no one laughing at her jokes that she just said "you all can go fuck yourselves, I'm out of here." and walked out. I don't know what she expected... she was making jokes about being so poor that she became a whore for an escort service. WTF? whores...

It's Labor Day weekend! 3 sweaty days away from work. I may go up and visit my parents on one of the days.

Should be a good weekend!

Vitalize Thursday, August 30, 2007 | comments:


Vitalize [vi·tal·ize] (vīt'l-īz'):

  1. To endow with life; animate.
  2. To make more lively or vigorous; invigorate.
I didn't have to be into the studio until 9AM today - I feel vitalized! Traffic was worse, but I wasn't sleepy and cranky so it wasn't so bad. It was crazy hot yesterday - easily over 100 degrees in this sweat box they call Montrose. The studio I work at is just north of Glendale - sandwiched between the San Fernando Valley in the west and Pasadena in the east. It cools down a good 10 degrees in Miracle Mile where I live but no mater where you were yesterday - it was sweaty balls.

I had a meeting with a client yesterday in Pasadena. They showed off an impressive new 3D face scanning software to us. I'm looking forward to working on it - I'll have more details once I am able to talk about it :)

I did a little clothes shopping after work yesterday. It's crazy how expensive some clothes are now days. $40+ t-shirts!? Are you kidding!? Curtis isn't working at the Volcom store anymore - so paying full-price was the only option. Ugh.

I gamed the rest of the night. I got a few more codes for the Call of Duty 4 Beta yesterday! I hooked up Aaron and Scott and we went at it for the rest of the night. My Ambien was kicking in and I had to call it quits just after midnight.

  • Meeting with 'BigStage' in Pasadena - 12:30pm
  • Shop for something to wear to Trisha's party tomorrow night

Simple enough, eh?
