hope y'all are doing good. i'm doing just fine. work has been good. i went on a shoot last week and was able to take part in being a part of the production side a little more. not as much as i would like, but it's something. the shoot went well, so that was good too! one of the director's that was doing b-roll, which was what i was doing for the shoot, told me that she was going to be begging me for a job in 10 years. i thought that was awesome and i hope it's true. hahaha. it's hard going from being on shoots, to being back at this desk job, especially when i don't get to help with any of the wrap. hmph. i just hope something changes soon. i feel like this business is just about proving yourself and what you are capable of to the right people. so, hopefully, if i keep it up, it'll get me somewhere soon!
i'm so ready for thanksgiving, how about y'all? i think we're going to have a pretty good turn out this year! we're still trying to figure out everyone, but as of right now we have: tory's parents, his sister (tam tam) and her husband (jeff), hopefully sam (tory's good friend from home) will be moved out here by thanksgiving, then we have a few maybes, a couple, trent and emily, have been living out here for a while, and zack might be visiting? then maybe phil and geraldine too! then i think after thanksgiving lunch scott and joel might come over to hang out and play games! i'll be cooking all of the thanksgiving food again, so i'm excited about that! i've already made a list of stuff and have already bought a few things because i was super excited and they were on sale! it's gonna be 3 years making thanksgiving dinner! so crazy!!! it's weird not going home for thanksgiving, but i also enjoy cooking for a lot of people! thanksgiving is so much fun! i think as long as you are around people you care about, that's all that matters!
i'm also looking forward to christmas break and a week off! whew, that will be nice! i've already booked my ticket to come home. i'll be home from dec. 20-27th. so that will be a nice amount of time! i'll be going with tory too, so that will be nice! :) it'll be interesting to see how christmas is this year...
hmmm.. not much else is going on. i've joined the website 'pinterest.com' have you guys heard of it? it is AWFUL! all i do is look at pictures of food and recipes! oh man, it's so bad. they also have crafts, but you guys know i can't draw anything for the life of me, so i stick to the cooking. i made these 'buffalo chicken tacos' that i found off there the other day and they were soooooo good. mmmm. i ate way too much and i think tory ate too much as well because he said that his stomach hurt.. i think too much sauce. so, i'll have to change that for next time.. haha. i also made some bread from scratch and with that bread i made cheese bread! it turned out to be very yummy. i also found this killer chocolate chip cookie recipe that the boys (tory, scott and joel) love! so that's good. i have a secret ingredient, so i can't tell you what it is! bahhhh!
i had my worst bart ride EVER since i've been out here yesterday coming home from work. i was stuck on the bart for about an hour... shoulder to shoulder. this dude kept stepping on my shoes, grrrr (that's why i don't wear nice things to work!) anywho. it was just awful. one stop before mine, people kept trying to push their way onto the train, then there was crazy pushing, yelling, it was just so much negative energy, it was awful. when things like that happen, i just can't help but get affected. i'm too sensitive for that crap. i hate it when people can't treat each other with respect, especially when there's no reason to be so negative. another train was coming in like 2 minutes! just wait dag burn it! bah. it was awful. turns out that there was a shooting outside of the bart station at 12th street oakland, which was the real issue with the backup. this occupy oakland stuff is getting out of control out here. i feel like a lot of people just like to protest anything out here, which i think is a little counterproductive. same with all of the bart protests that went on for months.. it just doesn't get anything accomplished. eh, hopefully something will happen soon and these protests will stop, but who knows.
anywho, i'm sure you guys are super bored from reading this. so, i'll let you go! hope you guys have an awesome weekend and an amazing thanksgiving!!
love and miss you all,
jenn
