Hungry Man @ MMM: Something to smile about...

I spent today working on a commercial for the City of Las Vegas at Hungry Man Productions and halfway into the morning, the power in the Culver City production office went out. The a/c was not working and ants wriggled all over our production bay. After the 3rd of 4th power outage my production manager sent me on a few errands. Almost immediately after she hit me up with a text that gently read, "Hurry and get back here! We're blowing this popsicle stand. Know of any places to go work?!?!"

I offered her the ever-ready, ever-modest Movie Magic Media office. Last week, Bird worked on clearing out the adjacent room for our production office (AKA The Mark and Bird suite). I told her about the great air conditioning and the free internet. Needless to say, she excitedly obliged to my offer.

So I spent today working from my new desk for the first time! Not the most important post in recent history, but it was definitely something to smile about...

It's the simple pleasures

Things that made me smile this weekend...

1. Driving to San Fran late into the night and still talking about how scenic the drive was
1a. Singing the entire way
1b. Not feeling bad about eating BK and getting starbucks after 10 pm
2. Enjoying the fact that it was cold, cloudy and wet outside
3. Walking to walk and take public transportation all over the city
4. Getting two pairs of sick sneakers for 58 bucks
5. Eating Italian and having a cappuccino while sitting outside
6. Having the highlight of my night be getting drunk and dancing with a new friends
7. Watching my best friend sleep off the worst hangover she's ever had while I drive home
7a. Laughing about 1-7 when she woke up.

Things that made me smile today...

1. Waking up from a 10 hour sleep
2. Listening to Mahri's new track at work
3. Listening to Feist's "1,2,3,4" a la Sesame Street in the car
4. Job security

I think I'm starting to break through that "thresh hold of pain" I wrote about a few weeks ago. I'm starting to find pleasures in the day to day stuff. The honeymoon in LA is definitely over, but my life has certainly begun.
