Wow, where has this summer gone? Only two and a half weeks left until I pack my bags and hit the road with my brother and mom to go back to Texas. This summer has been the epitome of adventure, the ultimate learning experience. I must say, though, after 8 weeks of being in California without my parents, I really miss them. It's such a relief that my cousin Lynn lives here, and that Ryan is here for the summer as well, otherwise I'd be so lonely! You know who else I miss? My fatty cats. I miss them so much. :(
So, since my last blog post, which wasn't very informative, just angry... I've been living it up in the city of angels! Ryan and I have been in the live studio audience for The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson not once, but twice! The first time, the guest was Angela Kinsey (from The Office) and the second time with was Ellen Page (from Juno!). Ahh it's soo fun. And on August 2nd, we're going to be in the audience for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno! I'm sooo excited!! I've just recently been to Disneyland with Ryan and Sarah Doretti (Joe's friend from Oklahoma). That was amazing. We rode all the rides we wanted to, and even saw the new World of Color water show, which blew my mind!! I also bought a pretty Disney hoodie, which I'm in love with. :D
Work has been pretty cool. Seussical is coming along great, and I just attended the Alice in Wonderland invitational last night and it was pretty trippy, but it was actually very enjoyable. Very lively and entertaining, for sure. Afterwards, everyone went to Sizzler, which was a good time. Jon Levinson came as well, and it was nice catching up with him. In other work news, I've started directing my 10-minute play for the 10-minute play festival, and I'm loving it! My play is written by Joey Veliz, and he's such a talented writer. The cast consists of Joey, Amanda Voyce, and Josh Knoller. I love the play, it's so funny and I feel like I can do a lot with it. I can't wait to see it all come together.
I think I've done most of what I've wanted to do in L.A., or at least I'm going to before I leave. The food here is so awesome, it's probably my favorite part of being here. One of my favorite past times is finding new places to eat. There's this sushi place I'm dying to try, but I'll wait until my brother gets here so I can try it with him. It's called Sushi Central, and it was the sushi challenge on Throwdown with Bobbly Flay. Haha I'm so susceptible to media bait. Sad but true.
Before I go, one more thing. Ryan and I saw the new Christopher Nolan movie "Inception". I think it was better than "The Prestige". Mr. Nolan has done it again, dangggg.
