V - Returns

Whoo hooo.. after a three month hiatus, the re-imagined "V" on ABC has returned. This is episode 5 and I think they story is moving along. I was excited to see it come back. I'm a HUGE fan of the original and I have to keep myself from comparing the two as they are very different. I'm enjoying the new V but not loving it yet.. I especially enjoyed the final scene with Anna showing her true self. Need to see more of that.

Wait... What!!!!!

Well today was a pretty good day.. oh with exception of me almost quitting my job. It's a long story that I won't go into here in my blog.. needless to say that the Show Runner (production) and I (post-production) don't see eye to eye on some issues. He actually ended his email with " So I put it back to you...either man up, handle my very reasonable requirements, or find another place to work. "

I would have left that moment but I wouldn't want to put the strain on my boss Darla or my day AE Brian. Plus if I quit I can't collect unemployment insurance. Now if he wishes to fire me.. I'm all for that as I could collect insurance then.. so I guess will see what happens.. either way this is a very unhappy work environment.

Success

After calling around to a few stores I found a Bed Bath Beyond in Studio City who had some of the clearance wall sconces so after lunch with my friend Jeff I headed over to Studio City and exchange the sconce (of course I checked it in the store). Can't wait to get home and finish that wall.

Lunch with Jeff

Today a Guildie friend from the East coast met up for lunch. He was down here for a wedding and going back tomorrow so we got together for lunch at Islands. Jeff is an online friend who I met through The Guild and also met in person and hung out with last years at Comic Con. It was great seeing him and we have a very enjoyable lunch. Looking forwarding to hanging out with Jeff again at this years Con.

More Decorating

Today we finally put up the clock and wall sconces that we purchased a few weeks ago. The Clock went up with no problem and it took some work to get the sconces arranged just right but while doing the second sconce we noticed that part of it was broke. The bad thing is it was a clearance item so the chance of them not having another is possible. So I guess I'll be calling around tomorrow and trying to find another Bed Bath Beyond who might still have them in stock.. which me luck.

Harry's Present

For Harry's birthday he asked for a second monitor for his computer since he does alot of editing and having a second monitor makes it so much easier. But he has an IMac and I had never heard of a second monitor being hooked up to an IMac. So I did a little research and found out that the newer IMac's (like Harry's) does have a port that you can hook another monitor too.. well with the help of an adapter cord as well. So we were off to Fry's

We checked out the monitors, then decided to see if they had the adapter first so with some help we found the adapter and picked one up. We then went to find him a second monitor. He wanted something at least the same size as his Mac screen (which is 20") We found some other 20" but actually found a 21.5" (Acer) on sale so we wound up going for that one.

As soon as we got home we hooked it up and it didn't seem to be working. He then went into his system preference and clicked on display and voila it found the second monitor. Now he is the proud owner of a second monitor.

Harry's Birthday Dinner

This has become a tradition over the past few years. For Harry's Birthday we go out to Outback Steakhouse (one of his favorites restaurants). From time to time we have friends and family join us as well. This time around we invited some of our closest friends; Tom and Ervin, John and Moises and Bruce. We had a great time catching up and just enjoying ones company. The food was as usual AWESOME.. we discovered their Aussie Cheddar Fries which were to die for and of course the Steak was wonderful as usual.

It was a fun night..

Yard Work

After finishing my podcast with Jenni and headed outside to help Harry with some yard work. Since all the rain we have gotten a boat load of nice looking weeds but they are pushing up through our rock gravel and we just haven't had time to take care of them so they are starting to overtake everything. So we attempted to pull as much as we could. Harry had been out there for hours.. but I lasted a few hours before we had to go in an get ready for Harry's Birthday Dinner with friends.

Recording KOTG Ep. 15

Today Jenni came over around 11am and we recorded episode 15 parts 1 & 2. You can watch the "live" video on Ustream at http://bit.ly/5cLYwj (password KOTG)

It was a fun show.. at least for Jenni and I. I don't think we got too much information out but we had a great time recording it. Ep. 15 part 1 will be released on April 15th and part 2 will be a few weeks after. You'll need to listen to the podcast or watch the video to understand the two picture.
