Baseball Game

Last night a friend of mine had an extra ticket to the Dodgers vs Cubs game.  I went at the last minute and it was a really good game.  I've been a Cubs fan since I was a kid, living in Chicago, and we won last night!  There were surprisingly few Cubs fans, although since it was a Thursday night only about 43,000 people were in attendance.  

I leave to shoot The River one week from today!  I can't wait!  This weekend I will be at a wedding in Palm Desert on Saturday but Sunday I'm going to pick up the last few things that I need to take and start getting organized to go.

Blast From the Past

My friend Steve, from high school, is in Los Angeles with his family visiting so we went out to dinner last night.  It brought back so many memories!  We called some of our old friends and caught each other up on mutual friends that only one of us is in contact with.  It was so great to see a familiar face in LA.  I love it when people come out here to visit me:)

 

WOW!

Saturday I ended up hosting an impromptu games evening at my house.  It wasn't actually impromptu, just the 'having it at my house part' was.  A friend of mine had suggested on Tuesday that we get people together one last time before I go to Arkansas.  She was like "call and invite the usual crew and tell them my house at 6:30".  By Wednesday, we had 14 people all set and ready to play games Saturday evening.

About 4:30 on Saturday she called me to let me know that her dad came into town and she wasn't going to be able to host, could I call everyone (on two hours notice) and tell them it was cancelled!?  I ended up making all of the calls, but telling them to come to my house instead.  It worked out fine and everyone had a really good time, even with the last minute change.  We played 'Catch Phrase', 'Right, Left, Center', and 'Wits and Wagers'.  We also played a really cool game called 'Therapy.'  

Sunday I spent the day learning lines and going through all of my clothes to see what I want to take with me to Arkansas.  I spoke with the director a little bit and found out who a few of my cast mates will be!  One is from Texas, another is an actor from Chicago.  I can not wait to start shooting!  Two more weeks:)

Congratulations to my sister!  She was hired this morning as a third grade teacher!  It will be her first "real person" job as she put it:)
