Work Part 2
So, the show in Philly is exactly the show I thought it was but when my contact didn't respond to my request for more info I wrote it off. Turns out he was on vacation... wants to know if I'm still available. I think I'm going to get some info and see if I want to jump ship on the remake.

Work
I sent a bunch of emails out to former bosses telling them when I would be available again. After a few nibbles, I got an offer to do the Fame remake back in LA.
Yes, I'm going home and yes, they're remaking Fame.
I had to turn down another Clooney movie due to timing and only had the possibility of a movie in Philly. Oh well. Now that I'm going home I'm a little homesick. Only 3+ weeks left and I've got lots of sightseeing planned. That should help.

2 Day Weekend
This is my first 2 day weekend in probably 4+ months. Today M and I went to Bunker Hill and climbed the 294 steps to the top of the monument. I really need to get back to the gym... The view was spectacular, even through the smallish windows. Hard to believe that as high as we were was where the hill used to be. They took all the dirt to fill in the bay and make more land -the map at the museum that shows the before and after was incredible.
Next we went to Harvard Square where I got some rain boots I'd been lusting after. I didn't get them when I first saw them because it doesn't rain much in LA, but I should have since it's rained 2 or 3 days a week here in Boston. Watch it not rain anymore...
We then drove through suburban Boston out to Lexington, Walden Pond, and Concord. It was nice to be outside on a beautiful day.
After dinner we picked up the Sof from doggie day care and came home. I did some laundry, drank a beer, talked to the husband, downloaded my pics, and finished a book. Now Sofie and I are going to bed. Tomorrow I may go with M to Connecticut but then again I may nap all day.

First Date (Not Mine)
An IM conversation w/ a coworker:
SP7: things i will definitely miss about being here: lobster roll friday.
F-C: OH SO TRUE
F-C: I TOOK 2 THIS WEEK
F-C: YUMMY
SP7: i took 2 last week! then i ate full-on lunch, and was near catatonic by 2nd meal. (which i skipped, p.s.) (though it'd be a better story if i soldiered on and ate it anyway.)
F-C: i'm eating the full on lunch
F-C: unless it's crappy greek again
SP7: as well you should! i did like the falafel.
F-C: that was about the best part
F-C: then no dinner but lots of alcohol
SP7: yeeeah, wooo! are you going out, or just sitting home and getting wasted?
F-C: the latter
F-C: me and sof
F-C: plowing thru some tequila
SP7: yaaay! that's kind of my favorite...never been clubby or sceney, though i do enjoy a nice old-man bar, but if you stay HOME, you can wear jammy pants, no shoes, fall asleep where you are...and being married only makes it awesomer! if you make out with somebody, you ALREADY KNOW how cute he ACTUALLY IS!
F-C: yes, and you know his first AND last names
SP7: right? (A was mildly offended on our first date, when mid-going-at-it, i asked him his last name twice.)
F-C: ok, so you made out w/ him on the 1st date?
SP7: um, yes...made...out...
F-C: oh man - are you telling me home run?
F-C: on the first date?
SP7: dude, i was single, i was having an awesome summer, i was much thinner, i was doing late-night improv shows, i'd just finished acting in a terrible movie that was a lot of fun...plus i'm secretly kind of slutty! so our first date was fifteen hours long, and i had no pants on for like 12 of them. we ordered a pizza at some point...and the only thing that ended the date was that i had to get up, get dressed, and go on another date with another guy. (with whom i did NOT sleep, by the by. i'm only KIND of slutty. )
F-C: wow, no wonder he married you!
F-C: you go girl
SP7: woooo!
F-C: i'm going to give him a wink-wink-nudge-nudge when i see him
SP7: then our second date was going to sears to try to buy him a bed on credit, because he just had a twin-size air mattress. he was turned down. then our third date was taking me to the doctor to deal with the UTI from our first two dates.
F-C: can I post this on my blog? it's genius
SP7: aww, sure! as long as nobody would ever know that it was him. he's tres private like that.
F-C: i won't mention names
SP7: can you make me taller? and...asian?
F-C: uh, sure - although tall asians are kinda rare
SP7: sweeet!
