Okay so here is today's story.

I woke up and got ready to go to work for the 60th hour this week. I know I should be named Lupe, but at least I'll be a rich bitch soon. So I, being all obsessed with earthquakes and whatnot, was waiting for the ginorme 5.7-7.0 fatty that was supposed to happen today. Nothing. I mean it's great and all but I just want to experience one so I can say "I've lived through an earthquake." A little disappointed yet relieved. After sunbathing on the steps of my job and pondering the meaning of life on my lunch break I realized I haven't been to the beach (during the day) in a hot minute. So that is what I am going to do tomorrow on my ONE day off. Hermosa or Manhattan? You decide.

Also, I am not allowed to read at work yet. Apparently you have to go through a 30 day probation period of just sitting at the desk taking calls and checking into accounts before you can read. But since it is Sunday and all and cleary Snooze Town at work I cracked open Battle Royale. READ THAT SHIT!!! I was completely captivated within the first two pages. I am now sitting on my bed staring at it somewhat reluctantly because I am totally aware that I am going to fall into another "Twilight Haze" as I refer to it. This is the period of time where I lock myself in my room and don't eat, drink, or do any other necessary daily function until I have read myself to sleep. But it is wayyyy worth it. This book rocks.

Another issue I am having with global society is this damn "Swine Flu." Or "Spicy Pork Flu" as I like to call it, because I get at least 100 calls a day at work from people thinking that because they have diarrhea they've got the pig. Get over it, wash your hands and move on.

I took Wilton home today instead of Normandie and what a difference it made in my evening commute. Not only was the road actually paved but I wasn't cut off by angry Armenians and bombarded with Mexicans trying to sell me flowers at the stop light. Instead I was winding through the most beautiful little neighborhoods of well groomed palm trees and gorgeous adobe houses. It's clearly the little things in life that please me so. As if the decrease in LA afternoon traffic wasn't enough I came home to a ready to go meal made by Asia of chicken, rice, carrots and potatoes. Delish I tell you. It was our first "family dinner" in a while and it was delightful. Now we have all receded to our rooms as is the norm and gone about our business. (Battle Royale whats up??)

I am really hoping tomorrows weather will be nice but if it decided to rain like crazy I won't object. Instead I will sleep until 2 p.m. and therefore sink into my Twilight Haze. Either way tomorrow shall be a good one.

Oh shizzz, I almost forgot. So I got a call from the Line Producer of "Mosaico", a Portuguese film I am due to work on in Havana, Cuba next month. For a while I thought it was called off but apparently they were shooting some Stallone film in Rio that got a little dissheveled and he was rather busy. Need I say more? So anyhow he was like "Just checking in and we may have to push the dates back a little, but no biggie its all good we got the Governments approval so it's a Green Light." Sweeeet I'm going to Cuba people! Lets do it! Needless to say I have had quite the day today and I am sure tomorrow will be great as well. If not you will find out shortly.

That's all for now.

Much Love,

E

p.s.  - Watch City of God if you like good movies. Yeah.
