Another week - makes 3 - I'm still kickin' it :O)

Will run down my week, cause I know ya'll are just dying to know what I've been up to ...

Friday 24th
Today I woke up early, as usual, after going to be late, as usual. Took me a loooong time to get my "baby got back" ass out of the house, but Jodi enticed me to do something really really naughty! It's all her fault, so I'm gonna blame her for everything ... she took my big ole ass through Mid-City, Koreatown, Jefferson Park and finally to Crenshaw ... to ... HELL ... the place where all people with a sweet tooth are cursed to forever roam ... the imfamous yet addicting ... Krispy Kream. I bought 2 dozen (24 in total all for me), no actually for the cast for tomorrow's show (one cast memeber has a B-day tomorrow) and just because I'm a really super nice guy. I did not eat that many ... only 3 ... I slipped into a sugar coma as Jodi was driving back ... I think I still am having the shakes. Last night I heard that it takes 1.5 hours on the treadmil to run off 1 donut - if that's the case then I'm definately fucked!!!!

Jodi dropped me off at the bus stop and like an idiot I get on the bus, ask the driver where Cahuenga Blvd is, he has no idea. I have ony 25 min till I have to meet a guy to check on an apartment. Well I'm not 100% sure where Chatuango, Catuwronga, Chatchagoogoo Blvd is, even though I have a map in my bag, I'm not smart enough to take it out and look at it (I knew there was a stupid American in me somewhere), so we pass my stop and go all the way through the golf course (about a good 4 long LA blocks). I have to walk all the way back - damn if I'm gonna waste another $1,25 for the bus - finally the other bus comes and I arrive at the apartment about 10 min late. It actually worked out quite well ... there was a cute girl (went to Uni in Fort Collins, CO) who's just moved here 1.5 months ago and is going to acting school. We hit it off and I think the guy renting the place like us both. I filled out my application then and there and tomorrow will call him, go by drop off the deposit and then move in begin Sept. The place itself is ok ... bit shabby round the edges ... definately not new ... lot's of wild Hemingway Cats, a dog and a film studio. He's a director that just made a movie with a famous Czech actress (I don't remember her name - I'll ask him next time and blog it). If all goes well with my application I'll be able to choose from 2 rooms on the 2nd floor (1st floor for the fellow's EUers). One is $525 the other $550/month - unfunished - so I'm gonna have to get my ass to Ikea and spruce it up a bit :O) Probably just a futon, table and chairs ... something like that. The apartment is called a "batchlor apartment," which means that there is no kitchen, you have to share the shower and WC with other's on the floor, you get a fridge and the room is a very basic studio, but I have to tell you the location is PERFECT!!!!! I can walk to my gym, my fav coffee shop, the Arclight, my bank, etc. We'll see ... I'll keep ya'll posted!!!!

Right now I'm listening to Mika; I'm loving it!!!! What a great CD!!!

So as I pop into my fav coffee shop ... damn ... I'm here every day, I'm addicted!!! Guess who I see Kirsten Vangsness from one of my fav crime shows Criminal Minds. Now, very rarely do I actually go up and say anything to actors/actresses, but I did go up to her, intrupt her converstation to her two guy friends saying, "I just want to ... um ... say ... um that I really like ... um ... show and that I like ... um ... your character ... and you're great on the ... um ... show ... um ..." She must of thought I was a major dweeb, but she smiled said thanks, blushed a little and when she left later said bye to me. I must say that she's more beautiful in person than on the show - film doesn't even do her justice.

Comedy Night started again, but I couldn't stay because I had to go get a manicure/pedicure; it was very nice even had a massage chair to boot. I was in heaven being pampered and watching America's Next Top Model. You know if I didn't nibble, slightly, on my nails I would have better ones. I'm gonna have to stop it if I want commercial work.

Right around the corner from my new apartment, hopefully, I found a pretty decent Thai rest. (King's Thai Food) that delivers!! It's a little dive, but good food. It's sooooo nice to have international food and not this American stuff. Usually when I head out it's only steak and let me tell you, you think LA (land of yoga and heath) would have lots of veggie stuff - NO!!! Meat Meat Meat Meat everywhere!!!!

On my way back to Jodi's I stopped off for some groceries at Paviloins for food shopping and picked fruit with James Remar.

Now onto what's been happening this week ...

Thursday 23rd
Went to yet another steak house, but this one is one Jodi used to work at. It's in downtown LA and I had a chance to see a bit of downtown:














Can you believe it? This is fucking rediculous! See how expensive parking is in downtown LA?

Had my opening night on stage at Juror #2. Went well - only dropped one line - a funny one too, but went well. I have to say I love being up there. Afterwards we went out and about on the town: [pictures to be inserted].


Wednesday 22nd
Don't remember what I did - if it comes to me I'll post it ...
