Cold Snap

It's been rather cold here in SoCal the last few days. The coldest it's ever been since I moved here a year and half ago. We're talking high 50's, low 30's. It feels like fall back East. In fact, California winters are like a nice, sunny cool fall day on the East coast.

Anyway, it's been a while since my last posting. Happy New Year to everyone. I'm looking forward to 2007. It's going to be a good year, I can feel it in my bones.

Had a wonderful Christmas with my family in Chicagoland and a very fun New Year's in Palm Springs with Raul and friends. We met one of the writers of our favorite show on CBS, "The Class" and one of the producers of NBC's "30 Rock." The writer gave me some inside dirt about "The Class" that I probably shouldn't repeat .... We also played tennis one day and rode the Tramway to the top of Mt. San Jacinto, where there was five inches of snow and a beautiful pine tree forest at the top.

Currently, looking for a new job and/or temp assignment. Had a very good interview on Friday at ABC and will have another one at ABC on Tuesday in a different department. Then, I have an interview on Wednesday at Fox.

Meanwhile, I sent the latest revision of my script to my producers over the holidays and awaiting their latest round of comments. I see a light at the end of the tunnel, so I need to start a new script soon. Oh, and Raul and I went to see a taping of the "Ellen DeGeneres Show", which was fun. My former co-worker at the CW (my temp job ended at the end of the year) helped us get VIP tickets, as Raul is a big fan. In fact, Raul got to sit in Ellen's mother's chair when she comes to the show. It has a plaque on the back that says "Mama's Seat."

Celebrity sightings: actor Michael Rappaport (second time I've seen him) at Arclight Cinemas; Alicia Witt ("Cybill" & TWO WEEKS NOTICE) at the Apple store at the Grove; and actor Jeffrey Tambor ("Arrested Development") on the ABC lot.
