on in the past two weeks actually. a lot that makes me proud and a lot that made me happy!the first week of march, i had an on location project/job in a charming little town called
Cambria, California. it is about 5 hours north of LA and literally in the middle of no where, which i reallllly loved. i got to get away! it felt like i was on vacation but, got paid! nice little combo action. so basically, we had no cell phone service, no internet, no genuine connection with the world itself. (ok, that's a little exaggerated but, it was pretty restricting). honestly though, i didn't mind it. i would have loooved to blog daily just for reference because it was such an awesome experience but, oh wells. we're getting a post experience blog update. hehe back to intro: small (tiny) rural farm town with lottts and lots of green grass and hills and trees and wine vineyards and horses and cows and what else?... the OCEAN. in my mind, totally contrasting and contradicting but, only because i had never witnessed all of those goodies together, in the same basket. :) and, i had never actually thought about the fact that they would be sooo beautiful together. it was very refreshing to well, first and foremost, get out of LA for a few days and then to actually feel a little sense of home with all the greenery and fresh air and open land and...
nice, genuine people. yeahhh, 100% real quality people. both, on the crew i worked and within the town. everyone was so warm and welcoming. it was simple, and that's something most everyone in this city forget is most rewarding. the job itself was kind of outlandish, surreal, aka...nuts! we were basically shooting an informative video for this billion-are man and his sweet sweet wife. it was a week, on an 80 acre ranch, included with a SMALL (massive) what they refered to as a 'castle' that took 12 years to build, a few CHEAP (worth more than my life) cars, a personal helicopter with helipad in the back yard (don't you have one of those?), a private jet, & the most exciting part of it all, my first (and probably my last) ride in a rolls royce. it was a truly unforgettable experience that makes me realize that i am indeed doing exactly what i should be doing with my life at this point! confirmed. this past week, my cousin ella marie came to town with 2 friends from UT on their first spring break as 'college babes' (DUN DUN DUN). sooo....me, being the hostess and resident
of the fabulous city, wanted to show them a goooood, well-rounded trip to Los Angeles. in the course of a week we, went to jimmy kimmel and saw the old, crummy, annoying bachelor jason mesnick and his new wife molly, attended an oscar party that my neighbor had, complete with a red carpet and all, went horseback riding in the hollywood hills, and almost died mind you while my 'wild mustang' pretty much attempted to dump me off the edge of the canyon, went to a jay leno taping, watched the sunset on the beach in santa monica, drank wine on the beach in malibu topped off with margarita's in venice and to end the fabulous trip with a bang, graced the tattoo/piercing parlor on melrose with our presence...yeppers, all in the same night. :) ella got her nose pierced while her friends got their navels. and, yes, my whole family is out to get me but, chances are, they'll never find me. hehe needless to say, it has been a VERY eventful past two weeks and I AM FULFILLED. jumpingforjoy...again.
