Jeez!

I've been back in Miami for a day now and already I'm so lonely I've done nothing but sit in front of my tv sobbing during Ewan McGregor's Panda Documentary. (Although it WAS really heartbreaking... it's so sad how animals have to adapt to us forcing them out of their homes :(

Holidays are never long enough! I miss my family soooo much.

Ugh.

Surprisingly work wasn't too bad today. Actually- it was pretty fantastic. And I didn't really do anything too interesting... it was just happy. I dunno. Maybe I was just so excited about being around people. It was kinda funny though, because I brought my aunt's FANTABULOUS rum cake to eat for lunch and my coworkers loved it so much they ate it all! Thanks Auntie Ching! My boss-an emmy award winning director (by the way)- actually stopped in the middle of a casting call to moan and rub his belly while he ate. LOL

I got a new desk at work too. It's a contemporary L-shaped wooden wonder. Amazing. I sit in it and do work just so that I can feel how great it is to sit at a fancy desk. It was a gift from Val, my supervisor- she got a new glass desk and gave me her old one. It's so much fun- it's like I'm some grown up doing real work instead of some neveau graduate punk who's job isn't really a job because of how fun and exciting it is. Thanks Val!

You know- for a person who started their post describing how much they were crying this evening, I do seem a bit cheery.

I dunno...

I feel bad for the people affected by the tsunami's. It must be awful to go through something like that. I saw footage on the news- some vacationer took vid. from a hotel room of big 3 story buildings on the coast standing fine in one second, then being berrated by water the next. It was surreal- I felt like I was watching a kid in the bathtub who just happened to make the water overflow onto a miniature of a modern city. And they interviewed a young college kid who said that the water just disappeared on the beach ("like some giant was pulling it away" she said), and when they walked closer to see what happened they were all of the sudden ENGULFED by a huge WALL. Can you imagine? The filmmaker in me sees that as an excellent visually and amazing to behold, but the human in me is scared along with the girl. How terrible- and 2 days after Christmas too. Some people haven't even found family members yet! God. I would give anything to never feel that as long as I live. I couldn't image what it would be like to not know where my family was.


i think i'm being a bit emotional. I'll go lie in bed and calm down. Good night, and God bless!
