Monday was, as we all know it to be, Presidents' Day. I however, decided to not email my boss at Intuition to see if I had to work until 2 hours before I had to be in. As the minutes ticked by and I continued to receive no answer, I remembered we had off for MLK Day. I then checked Keri's calendar and she had nothing scheduled all day, but I didn't want to go anywhere until I was absolutely certain I didn't have to go in, so I just kind of hung around and watched Firefly and did laundry until I finally heard back from him at noon confirming that yes, the office was closed for the day. So that was an interesting morning off. Once my laundry was done I decided to take an impromptu trip by myself to Venice Beach, because it was a nice day and I hadn't been there yet. It turned out to be much more exciting than I thought, since there wasn't really a boardwalk. There was however a skatepark there where people were doing tricks on their skateboards and bikes and there were just people everywhere, though no one was in the cold ocean water. I just sat in the sand and read for awhile. It was a really nice, relaxing afternoon!
Tuesday was an average day at Intuition, nothing too memorable happened. Hopefully a day will come along soon when I do something out of the ordinary exciting!
Wednesday The Doctors was shooting because Dr. Phil had a dark week, however there was only one show with one guest on it so Josie told me and the other intern we didn't need to come in. I was happy to have another surprise day off, until I found out that one guest was Jon Lovitz! So that was a little disappointing, but I guess you can't see everyone. Instead Ginny and I took her boyfriend to an interview and afterwards we wandered around downtown Burbank a little more. What a cute place! Definitely somewhere I will be taking my mom and my brother when they come to visit over Easter weekend.
Thursday was an interesting day because both Nancy Grace (who had the biggest entourage I have seen to date) and Joan & Melissa Rivers were on the show! Three very intense women who love what they do, Nancy loves being a lawyer, Melissa loves being a TV star, and Joan loves getting botox. Joan really is exactly the way she is on TV as she is in person. We don't normally have anyone under the age of 18 in the audience because the content of the show can sometimes be too much for minors, however this particular episode we had these high school guests in the audience (for whatever reason) and Joan was getting pretty heated about the conversation and she said, "I hope you have a bleeper" before she proceeded to drop the f-bomb 3 times. What a lady. I must say though, she doesn't look nearly as terrifying in person as she does on TV. Her and Melissa are hysterical together, I would love to be a fly on the wall in that house, especially when what they talk about on national television is more racy than what the average mother and daughter talk about behind closed doors. What an adventure that day was!
That night in Writing for Series TV, we pitched our idea for the spec script we are writing. I finished my beat sheet that was due (I am writing an episode of Modern Family) on Wednesday, but didn't have time to prepare my pitch. I ended up throwing together a slide show a half hour before class and didn't get a chance to run through my pitch once. I thought it was one of the worst presentations I have ever given (I usually like to be ridiculously prepared so I can be more personable with the presentation itself), but I guess I did an ok job because everyone in the class rated everyone on a scale of 1-5 and the top three highest people won a prize. Turns out I came in 2nd or 3rd place! (I didn't quite catch which because the TA named me and the other winner at the same time) So that was really unexpected and exciting.
No celebs today on The Doctors. However, it was an INSANELY easy day, so easy in fact that we only had one guest in the 'C' show, and they were done after segment 1, so we were done at 2:45! I only clocked 8 hours today, almost felt like I had a normal job, haha. After work I went out with some co-workers to get drinks, which was a lot of fun. It is pretty cool to get to know people outside the work place.
Tonight a few friends that also work on the Paramount lot and I went to see Blue Valentine and since we went to the Paramount theater, it was free! I wasn't the biggest fan of the movie itself, but Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling both did an amazing job. I am just not a big fan of movies that A) end in the same place they started and B) are extremely depressing...
Working at the HBO Luxury Lounge tomorrow! Hopefully it will go as smoothly and successfully as it did for the Golden Globes! AHHHH!
