2 more weeks!

hey everyone!

hope you all are doing great! i've been pretty busy with work going from 6:30am-6:30pm... it's a long day making it all the way over to san francisco by 8:30am! anywho, it's been good some days and not so good on others.. like with any job. i was just told yesterday that my temp position will be extended for two more weeks.. so that's good. at least i'll be making some more money!

i was looking forward to helping tory and the boys (scott and joel) out with joel's short film, goatherder. go to this website to check it out: http://www.indiegogo.com/Goatherder?i=fcbk sadly, you can't give any more money at this time. but anywho, with my job extension, i won't be able to help out as much as i would've liked... so that sucks :( hmph... i would've liked to get more hands on experience with doing the stuff that i like most... but i have to make some money.

everything is going good. i've been cooking about the same amount.. so that's good! i think this week we've eaten at home mon-fri! so that's good. last night we had eggs, bacon and toast for dinner. the night before that i got a jar of indian sauce that's like chicken tikka missala.. put some chicken in a skillet and threw it all together with some rice and naan! that was really good. sorry, i'm getting worse at taking pictures of the things that i make... but i don't really consider that something that i "made" even though i cooked it... haha. then the night before that i made homemade spaghetti sauce, homemade bread sticks with whole wheat pasta. tuesday we had a little snack since we went and saw a movie with the boys (scott and joel).

we have movie night every tuesday. it's fun! this week we went and saw a french film, Mesrine: Public Enemy #1. it was pretty intense! it came out a couple years ago in france and just now came out here! it was a pretty good movie, although there were a couple times that i couldn't look at the screen because it was yiiiiiiiiiiiikes! but it was an interesting film. also, it's split into two parts, so that's exciting! the 2nd part comes out in two weeks, so i will be excited to see the conclusion!

wednesday i went and hung out with my friend that worked in Haas Pavilion (the same building that sodexo was in), anna! it was so nice to have some girl time and just talk about what's going on in our lives, etc. she wanted to go dress shopping since she is going to a wedding in a couple weeks, so we went and i tried on some pretty dorky dresses, but it was a good time! i'm sure we'll do it again soon!

i'm glad it will be a long weekend! i'm ready to sleep in and catch up on some things that i need to do around the house! also, it will be nice to help out the boys for a day! whoo hoo! in other news, i told you guys about NYTV Festival.. well, guess whattttt!? i'm on IMDB! Jennifer McLaughlin (III) hahaha. here is the direct link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4026406/ supposedly my popularity is down 32% this week... geez, what's up with that?! hahaha. i'm pretty excited about it!

tory and myself are getting pretty excited about going to new york in a couple of weeks! have i told you guys about that yet? well anywho, we are going to new york for the festival from the 20-27! scott and joel are going too! i think it will be a great time and i think we are going to be able to get tickets for all of us for the daily things. if they can't get me a ticket for everyday, that's fine... i'm sure it would be easy to occupy myself with some shopping... even though i really shouldn't buy anything. haha! tory also found this awesome house that we are going to be staying at in brooklyn with an older lady. tory, scott and i will share a room, so that will be interesting. i don't think it will be a problem at all. it won't bother me one bit since we will be staying there the whole time for a total of $750!!! that's such a steal!!! we are very excited about it and it's super safe and close to the subway! i think tory told me it was rated the number 1 neighborhood in nyc! so that's great news! on top of that, i don't think we're getting ripped off so that's even better! hotel rooms were going to be like $350-$400/night... so i think we are verrrrrry lucky!

well i hope i wrote enough for you guys! i hope you all have a wonderful long and relaxing weekend!

love and miss you all,
jenn
