Eventful Day

This past Wednesday was a very full and eventful day. The day began with James taking the cars to get oil changes while I got ready for the day. Once he was back, James and I were going to go to the Style House to watch E! Entertainments "Clean House Comes Clean" shoot. James works on "Clean House" so he does not work on this show, however the hosts for this show are the same hosts that James works with so they invited him and I to come check it out. It was my first time on a real set and it was really neat. Style House is Marilyn Monroe's old home, and it was neat to see all of the crew there and the way the house has been modified for filming purposes. The set was quite small, smaller than I was expecting but on the viewing monitors the set looks amazing and quite spacious. It's funny how t.v. can give that effect. I was able to meet the hosts, some of James friends who work with him on "Clean House", and some of the crew. Everyone was very nice and had the wonderful California charm that you would expect (real laid back and go with the flow). They even invited us to have some of the free food that was coming for lunch which was sushi. Yum!

After lunch we headed to my interview that was scheduled with that company that had called me back. We didn't have much time in between so James came with me and hung out at Starbucks while I interviewed. The interview went fabulous! I really enjoyed the company that the description of the job they were looking to fill. How cool right?

After the interview James and I went to a music store on Sunset Blvd. to hear a free small concert of one of our favorite artists Amos Lee. It was great! The store had so much character and more CDs, records, posters, etc. than I knew existed. James and I thought it would be neat to come back sometime, since they also sold a wide assortment of used CDs for reasonable prices. Well Amos Lee was fabulous and wonderful to hear live. It was a simple acoustic set and he is such a talented musician that the set needed nothing more than a drummer. It was fun. We walked around Sunset Blvd. for a little while before coming home.

Once home we rented two movies, and made it through one before we were too sleepy.

Yesterday, Thursday, James and I vegged out and did some small errands. I found some cute shower invites for my cousin's bridal shower coming up. I'm definitely excited to go home in August for the shower and celebrations. I can't wait to see everyone!

Today James and I went to the movie theater to get the early weekend price. We saw the movie WALL E . It was really good, and included a funny twist I was not expecting. Though James and I still enjoyed Prince Caspian more, WALL E was a well done movie worth seeing. Tonight we're making steaks and chilling out. I might try and work on a painting that I started last night. It's been years since I've painted....it's fun and hard having to re-learn some of the techniques I used to do. Thanks Mom for the paint set it is wonderful!!!!! I love it!!!

I'm not sure what we have planned for the weekend yet! I'm sure we'll find something fun and interesting to discover for ourselves in LA. There are so many things to do here it's great!
