Don't Stop Me Now

So! As I previously stated, we went to see George Lopez Tuesday night. It was really exciting except we waited in lines for a really long time. Once we got in we were seated in the second row which was awesome. I claim it’s because I was wearing a really bright sweater that probably looked really good on TV. We were really close to George and some of the crew which was really cool. The guests he had on the show were Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Mary Lynn Rajskub. The only bad part about sitting so close to the stage is that we had to look like we were in utter amazement at everything that was happening… fake laughing, clapping so much your arms and hands hurt, yelling, fist thrusting, etc etc..

Unfortunately it’s against the rules to take pictures at these events, but take our word for it, we were definitely there.

Another epic thing happened Tuesday night. Not only were we in the audience of a late night television AND on TV, but after we left the taping we swung around to the nearest In N Out we could find. It probably would have been a better experience if we weren’t starving and didn’t inhale all our food, then get stomach aches, but I did enjoy it and BONUS, I ordered off the secret menu like a true California native.

We also went to see The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Thursday, BUT in between these events, on Wednesday we had orientation. Pretty standard stuff, got to hang out with almost all the other interns. The most exciting part of orientation was getting our long awaited FlipCams….Now I knew applying for the internship that if I were excepted I would receive a FlipCam. Once I was excepted I was pretty much the only one to remember we would be receiving these beautiful new toys! Weeks went by and I though…”where’s my FlipCam people?” Luckily, our mentor passed out the VERY existent FlipCams! We were all really excited it wasn’t just a ploy, so here is a fun video we took using our new FlipCams. We also went to Yogurt Land for some nom nomy frozen yogurt and our new friend/ intern participator Katy came along while our other new friend and Intern, Alex went to buy us a DVD player to use for the semester. Yay!

Anyway, back to Jay Leno, his guest stars were Cameron Diaz and Eric Stonestreet (from Modern Family <3) We were in and then we were out! It was a great and less stressful experience because Shannon and I were sitting in the back row and didn’t have to pretend we were having the most amazing epic time of our lives. So it was definitely more fun to sit and watch.

Anyway, still securing internships.. I’ll be taking on 2 sites this semester, which is really great experience, and those will be starting later next week. So I’m still just hanging out in LA and have a bunch of free time. What should I do??

January, Get A Tan

Well, I’m pretty much settled now, took a few extreme shopping trips but I’m finally settled in comfortably. The apartment is nice, we have a real table to sit and eat at, which we didn’t have in Boston. Shannon and I are rooming together in LA, we’ve been living together for almost 2 years so I’m really grateful we’re still together out here in LA. It makes everything more comfortable because we already know how to live with each other. We’re sharing a room, which we’ve never done before, but I don’t think that’ll be a problem because our closet is outside the bedroom so we don’t have to disturb each other when we wake up, WIN!

Sunday morning as I was getting into my car at the top of the parking garage I noticed a little something!!!!

HOLLYWOOD SIGN!! Still makes me giddy like a little kid at the zoo.

Hollywooooooood

Monday I had two interviews for possible internships. They both seem like really great places and I would love to intern for both so lets all cross our fingers! Since my interviews were far apart in time I got to drive around and explore a bit. I drove right through Beverly Hills! And just to set the record straight (thus far) the driving is NOT that bad. I haven’t run in to crazy traffic yet, and most of the drivers are nice and let you in. (Potholes galore, not so sweet.) Maybe I have to drive during the morning or evening rush hours to really experience the traffic. All I know is that I was terrified that it would take me FOREVER to get somewhere and it hasn’t. Fear overcome!

The houses out here!

Every night I’ve been like a grandma and I’ve been going to sleep around 10pm, but in my defense, I wake up at 7am everyday. No real reason, just to jump-start the day instead of burning daylight.

Tonight I got Shannon, Elliot and myself tickets to see a taping of Lopez Tonight! YAY!!! I looooove George Lopez! When I used to work as an usher at the Rosemont Theater and Allstate I worked one of his comedy shows, he’s so great! I’ll be blogging all about that tomorrow!

Cool car I saw at Ralphs, our grocery store

Orientation’s tomorrow, Everyone (which is 8 of us) involved in the Berklee Internship program are meeting with our mentor for dinner. I can’t wait to sit down with everyone and start talking.

More exciting things on Thursday and this weekend, forecast for the weekend, high 70’s!

Skipping Chicago and Boston winter never felt so good!!
