Tuesday

That's pops at dinner last Friday night in Santa Monica. He had the seafood stew, if you can't tell from the pictures. The other picture is of him in front of his new office in El Segundo. We went there on Saturday and then cruised the Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach areas. It was HOT! Sunday was another hot day, but we were in Santa Barbara. I love Santa Barbara. It's so clean and pretty and it still has that "big city" feel in a small town. Besides hanging out with pops, not a lot is going on right now. Quinn has been in vegas for the last 5 days for a business trip and so I've been home alone for the most part. I netflixed "Alias" starting from the 1st season. I am completely hooked now. I have a lot to catch up on before this next season begins. I actually may not start watching it until I'm completely up to date with what is going on. I don't want to be confused or spoil anything!
Work is going good. It's a bit slow becasue of the upcoming holiday, but I know it's going to be busier than ever as soon as everyone is back from their vacations and the tv shows come back from hiatus. We are trying to help warner bros. find last minute theme songs for two of their 1/2 hour comedies airing this fall. One show is called Twins, and it's about 2 female fraternal twins who are completely opposite and end up running their family lingerie business. It sounds kind of dumb, but it's being created by the same guys who did will & grace. Another show of theirs airing this fall who also need a composer and theme song is called "4 Kings." It's about 4 new yorkers who have known each other since childhood...I think Seth Green is going to play one of the 4 guys. The show I am really looking forward to is Gray's Anatomy. 6 episodes aired last spring and it was picked up for another full 12 episodeseason, so i'm really excited about that. The show is really good, if you have not seen it! But another new show I'm excited about and think will do well is called "Inconceivable." I watched the pilot episode and it was good. It's about the lives of 6 or 7 people who work in a fratility clinic. There is some good drama in the first episode. The show that I think is going to be a huge teen hit is called "Reunion." It's about a group of friends who graduated from high school in 1980something. They all unite at one of the friend's funerals and the show takes place in flashbacks, telling how each of them ends up where they are now, etc. The pilot was also good and left a real cliff-hanger ending. Ok, for all who were just interested in what I just shared, you should trust my judgement because I predicted 'Desperate Housewives' was going to be huge after only reading the script to the 1st episode and look I was right, it's a huge hit!
So enough about work....I'm leaving for Houston on Friday and I'm excited to get out of here for a few days. I like my new place and I like being here in LA, etc. But it's always nice to go HOME and also see family and friends that I don't get to see but once or twice a year. Now that pops is here, maybe the fam will come visit us more often and I won't have to make the 3 hour flight that I hate so much. I know it's only 3 hours, but I hate flying, dread, dread it! But it beats the alternative...driving in the car for 21 hours.
Las Vegas, novemeber 18,19,20 is in the works. My friend, Season's little brother is turning 21 on November 19th, and I don't think there's a better place to celebrate your 21st birthday! He moved out here last February and lived with us for 5 months, so he's not just a friend's brother...we all became good friends. I love vegas and really look forward to a fun weekend of semi-debauchery every once in a while. Although, I'm old now and I can't really 'party' like it's 1999 anymore. If anyone wants to come party in vegas, it's an open-invitation to whomever wants to play! Send me an email and I'll let you know the details on where were staying and all that.
Ok, lunch is approaching. I'm starving so I am going to end it here. Hope your weeks are all going smoothly and everyone is getting ready for a long labor day weekend! Toodles
