Daily Update - Presidents Day Edition

(uh... oops, I completely forgot to send this out! my bosses rushed me out of the office to quickly. My apologies. )

Friday right after work I was meeting Jeff down at the studios for a movie watching event. While I was driving down there through the neighborhoods, I passed someone I recognized, it was Cheryl out for a walk. So I convinced her to join us. We saw Jumper. It wasn't bad, entertaining, but the main guy is the worst actor ever. He shows happiness, sadness, anger, awakeness, and sleepiness all with the same expression! He did the same thing in Star Wars, and utterly ruined the movie for me. I looked by this horribleness for as long as I could, but by the end, it was over for me. After the movie my hunger prevailed, and led us over to the nearest IHOP. It was only after we started looking through the menus that I realized that I had to save myself for my traditional Saturday morning Pancakes. So I got some sort of Pancake derivation that would still leave my Saturday morning enjoyable.

Saturday morning I sprang to my feet because I had been waiting for the usual pancake breakfast. Its deliscious nature was deflated a little bit because of dinner last night. but to make up for it, I just made twice as many, and doused them in mapley syrup.

I spent most of the day inside working on my painting... I mean my brothers painting. It the work became meticulous and detailed. I even found myself wondering where to put extra paint. Most of my frustration came from me thinking about what I 'Should have done' with layering, and colors n such. I had to go to the store at one point to get a smaller brush even. I've been slowly finishing the mountains for a while now, and finishing the building facades and their roofs now. I'm not sure what to do with the plaza yet. The closer I get to the water though, the more I have the desire to eat seafood. At one point I had to reference a few pictures I took from the last time I was there in Italy, just to make sure i knew what I was looking at. All I have to say is that ' the hills are alive with the sound of Brush-strokes'.

In the evening I got hungry so I left my lair for the second time of the day. I went to some pizza place on Pico Blvd. I was on my way down when I ran into Cheryl AnD her parents. They were going out for Pizza as well! what a coincidence. We even ended up at the same place. It was good stuff. Not as superb as BJ's BBQ Chicken Cake like Pizza, but it was still good.

A bit later in the evening, Emily had a 'Mocktail' party (fake-drinking party). It was fun. Lots of people, and apparently you were supposed to 'dress up' for this event. Formal event at Greenfield? whatever! I had a collared shirt on, and didn't you all notice that I actually had pants on?! The crowning moment is when Danny stood on the hearth and sang Emily a song. It was frightfully funny. Loads of good food. Unfortunately I wasn't hungry for it.

Also it had been a while, so I Fought the Battle of My Life for an hour or so too. I think I'm almost bored of it.

Church was one of the better Church sessions in a while. We had multiple visitors there, including Dannys parents. After church a lot of people went to Silvia's baptism. It was wonderful. And the treats afterwards were spectacular too!

I'm listening to the Venga boys right now. (Euro pop stuff)

Lunch was sponsored by Marvin's Diner. It was actually pretty good, except for half the fries being cooked yesterday.

Water cooler gossip: As I walked in to work (9:30ish) everyone said " HE DID IT, its his fault". then in shortly questioning them, I guess Peter decided to no longer work with us. I guess he came in this morning early and threw in the towel. Thats kind of to bad. I don't think he was treated fairly here, but he may have deserved some of it. Although I received the accusations jokingly, I think Danny was the actual reason; he was always harsh, rude, or sometimes just mean in their discussions. But whatever.

Also: Collins went out to lunch with Lynn. Lynn is the new Susan. They were gone for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. With the way he talks about girls, he only has one thing in mind 'if you know what I mean' (typical buy). I don't think we're ready for an office romance. (its only a matter of time before he screws it up IF that is what it is.) But I'm getting ready for the potential awkwardness that will ensue, and I plan to make it even more so. :)
