So, it's only been four days of sitting at home jobless - but my god, do I want to kill myself. I'm starting to get worried - you know, with the whole no job and no offer thing, but realizing I've only been here for a week and home alone, without a job for four days, its not so much a worry yet. I hope that by the end of this month, I'll have a month - even if that means flippin' burgers or being a receptionist for a production company (which would be awesome networking). I have to pay the rent somehow!
One this is helping pass the time though. The good Ole' US Open. I have my favorites - Kim Clijsters and Andy Roddick. It's only been a day of play, but thank god for Time Warner/Direct TV. While Rob and Jordan were working today, I basked in all my glory and watched literally, ten different matches. I feel like I caught up on my whole summer-lack of tennis, no play and no watching - work got in the way big time.
This weekend was interesting as well. We spent Friday at a bar in downtown Hollywood which was Irish themed and had $3 pints. I can't even explain how many beers this place had on tap, but it was incredible. To name a few, I could have had Guinness, Heineken, Budweiser, Coors, Saranac, Leinenkugels, etc. The bar itself was awesome - completely decked out in wood, banisters everywhere, hardwood floor, large chandeliers, a second floor with a massive staircase.
Saturday was going to be a slow night, but Rob and I went out to have a beer or two and we ended up walking down to a 1930's log cabin themed bar - "Big Foot West" which may be our new favorite spot. Drinks are served in mason jars, they have a huge whiskey selection, and a $25 shot - yup, thats right, 25 big ones for a single shot - welcome to LA. Will we ever drink it? Absolutely not. It's a homemade brew of herbs, tonics, deer antler, and literally 35 other ingredients. It's in a giant mason jar - brown, chunky, not appealing at all.
Other than these adventures, my roommates have been catching me up on TV that I haven't really ever watched, specifically It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia - which is genius. I recommend it to everyone.
Whats on my agenda now? Job. Call Fox Searchlight. California Driver's License. Hopefully I'll do the last two things on the list tomorrow.
Oh - right, I bought a bed too. No more air mattress for me! Wahoo!
Beds are good...
