Norah Jones rocks! For Christmas I was hoping someone would cop out and get me her new DVD but I guess people forget that I like her.

No worries. She sings me to sleep when Darryl's not here. Good enough for me!

Speaking of which- I found out that my obsession over him isn't stupid girly stuff. It's actually something that comes from a little foundation. I called him today (with a calling card, Mommy) and we actually flirted on the phone. How exhilarating! It's been so long since I've flirted with someone! Well, besides the elevator candy physical trainer that lives a floor above me... but that's a different story. :)

Ugh. Work today was a bullet to the brain. Get in at 9:45am and JAM PACKED with projects until 3pm. Have lunch while answering 30 phone calls for 10 minutes, and then packed again until 8pm. You remember all that work me and Arzu did for the MTV shoot? The one with all of the top notch crew guys that we had to move around? Well- after moving them around TWICE more- MTV gives us a call and tells us "Nevermind. We'll just use our own guys."

Can you F*&$#in imagine! 2 weeks of hard work down the camode! And yes- camode.... MTV doesn't deserve something as clean as a drain. Stupid ca ca face MTV.

And as for the Brazilian project- whoa. Is THAT one head trip. Poor Val, I think she thinks I hate her. She's the one who has to buffer the calls from the Brazilians and turn them into commands for me. Throughout my journeys today I found out that Terlingua, TX (right on the SW state line) has exactly 2 gas stations, 1 deputy, and is 35 minutes away from anything resembling a grocery store.

Convenient little production area, let me tell ya! If there was ever a problem and a crew member got sick, guess where the closest hospital is? Yep- a short 30 minute helicopter ride to El Paso up north (which is gonna cost a pretty penny).

Nice Brazilians try to pinch their wallet in a field where expenses aren't without justification.

Anyway... I got out of work so late I didn't have time to call up MY OWN crew for MY OWN production (the indy film). I only had enough time to negotiate a small deal with SAG (screen actors guild) to let us have our main actor for free. We start filming Feb 1st so I'm pretty desperate to start getting dirty- we have a rehearsal this Saturday, and a locations meeting on Sunday!... But my full time job is making it difficult to concentrate. It's hard to struggle through work to go home to more.

I shouldn't complain though- I have to admit that I love every second of it. It's nice to tell people that I do all this stuff with tv and foreign clients and flms, and not be lying. :)

A few last things before I go:
-Fashion designers have AWESOME jobs
-Echoes proove China is really home to the Center of the Universe
-You know tomorrow isTaeBo day when you get your bridesmaid dress measurements and realize that your waist is only 2 notches smaller than your bust and hips (and that was with a little cheating and sucking in)
-You should never tell a hairdresser that you don't want bangs because they'll inevitable give them to you
