I'm still here...already.

I know I've been blogging a lot, but please bear with me as I add another post to the blog. so, LA, huh? it's been pretty goode so far. I'm feeling settled, but it's still a bit of an adjustment as each day is different as a result of not having an actual job. I'm kinda liking that schedule, but I would like it more if random buckets of cash with my name on them were sitting around the apartment. we only have one bucket, and we keep items like scissors, pens, lighters, note pads, etc. in it. speaking of the apartment, I really like it a lot, and I like our little area of town. I'll give a video tour soon...as soon as I clean it up a little bit.

I've been doing some extra work, and it's been pretty fun. look for me in the background of NCIS LA, Extra and Friends with Benefits. I mean, you're gonna have to look...hard. the nerdy part of me enjoyed doing the Friends with Benefits one, because the lead female is Rachel from One Tree Hill. Amy, I hope/believe you'll remember her. so I'll probably keep doing the extra work and the catering work...and then keep hoping that that'll be enough money to live off of.

now please enjoy these photos of Santa Monica. I took a lovely stroll along the beach one afternoon. it really is a gorgeous area, however the day took a bit of a dive when I walked up to my car as an officer was giving me a parking ticket. a photo of Officer Ramirez is not included.

let's see, what else? I'm trying to work on some TV specs. I want to write a short and work with some people out here to actually get something made. I got to check out The Troubadour and see an Ingrid show! Allison, Ben, Alan and I spent halloween night with the crazies in West Hollywood. it was a fun, hot mess. I've gotten back into the coca-cola. I'm not having four or five cans a day, but I do have a fountain drink every couple of days. I saw Blue Valentine during the AFI Fest. it was really good--a touch intense and really well acted. and Ryan Gosling has yet to disappoint me on any level. I think I'm missing a "normal fall" a little bit, but the weather has been really great the past few days. my parents now have Skype. watch out, world. I want to get a fish. my favorite celebrity sighting so far has been Jodie Foster. there are two girls who live next door to us. one of them blasts chick rock-n-roll and the other busts out some techno-beats! I rock out to both in my apartment. I've gotten lost a lot, but I think that's going to help me out in the long run. I feel like I've been talking about myself a lot lately, so I will devote a whole post to, I don't know, some kind of history lesson soon. I miss you guys.

alright, here are a few more pics. I'll get better and more frequent with this fine blog. MUCH/ONE LOVE!!

one more thing...I'm fairly obsessed with this song:
