Life goes on (and so should we)

There have been way too many ups and downs for me in the last week and a half. Losing my job, having family over, losing my apartment, realizing I can't support myself for more than one month, rekindling things with M, having things fall apart with M (yes, again), and starting over new with EVERYTHING. Having said all that, sorry I haven't updated in a while.

I have a new contract lined up at Kaiser Sunset (in Hollywood), which means it's totally feasible and practical to pick an apartment in West Hollywood (WeHo for the uninformed). I can't wait to live in Gay Central! Last night I celebrated this much needed bit of good news at two "hip and trendy" places in Hollywood: Les Deux and Geisha House. Les Deux is a lounge type deal where people go to see and be scene. Many celebs go there and drop $1200 just to reserve a table. Unfortunately they didn't have ANY FOOD (aside from the handful of olives I snatched from the bar) so my brand new friends (with whom I'm staying) and I went to Geisha House for sushi.

Here is a picture of me, Koala (I'm using her screen name.. she's an up and coming actress with whom I'm staying until I find a place), and Koala's friend (whom I shall call Shark) at Les Deux.

Another place I went to recently that is worthy of note is The Getty. It is THE most gorgeous art museum EVER. Pretty much the whole building is made of white marble.. did I mention that it's 25,000 square feet? And the garden! Oh the garden... exquisite. I wish I had my camera with me.. I'll just have to make another trip. I saw paintings by Monet, Pissaro, Degas, and Manet.. in ONE room! The Zoopia exhibit was bad ass, too.To top it off, it doesn't cost a thing to get in! Well, you pay $8 to park, but that's standard in L.A.

Sorry to hear about your misfortunes but glad to know of the good news. Inbetween reading for classes and preparing presentations I look forward to living vicariously through your blog postings HAHA! If you need anything don't hesitate to ask!

The Getty - nice! Have always wanted to go there. Jean Paul Getty was at one time the richest person in the world (oil). I'm so glad he used it for art.

And congratulations on the new job! I know that's got to be a load off.

Wow.... that's a whole lotta sh*t to muddle through in a short period of time!
I'm so impressed that you got it all together... but not too surprised.
