I thought I'd start mentioning on occasion how much diesel costs in these parts.

Today's Price: $2.29

In Hollywood, connections are what it is all about.  Of course, I would argue that connections are what everything is all about, even beyond the social and financial to the spiritual, but that's another blog for another time.  Anyway, Jamie has expanded her connections this week.  Through a referral from the stylist that she has been working for, she has now been connected to an agency that handles projects for many prominent sylists in LA and elsewhere.  It's too early to tell what fruit this connection will bear, but they sound eager to book Jamie, so here's to hoping!

We signed the contracts on Saturday for our new place.  We're excited, yet subdued, because we know we don't get to move in for 8 months.  The community is called Playa Vista, and the particular condos we're moving into are called Chatelaine.  For those unfamiliar with the area, you can check out all kinds of maps online.

I forgot to mention that I made it for a third week of working out last week.  It's a good thing, too, because none of you were helping keep me accountable.

OK, I've started to customize my look here.  Please feel free to leave me comments and suggestions.  I think I'm definitely going to change the item link pic ().  What else should I change?

Jamie and I have found a new place to live!  We're buying a condo in Playa Vista, which is just south of Marina Del Rey.  We won't move in until the building is completed, which is scheduled for January 2005.  We're really excited, and we look forward to seeing you guys there.

I stumbled across this today, and just had to laugh.

I put in another solid week of working out.  I think I might just be forming a new habit.  It's produced some other good side effects.  In order to stay consistent, I'm getting up early to work out first thing in the morning.  By early, I mean a little before 8:00 a.m.  Doing so, I can be done and showered and start to work by 9:00 a.m. with the whole day ahead of me.  Pretty sweet.  I know you are all wondering what kind of awesome effects the working out is having on my well-manicured physique.  Well, the jury's still out on that, but I fell pretty good about it.

On another note, I went to buy tix to Superman on Tuesday, and it was already sold out.  For May 18th!  Merde!

When we went to see Envy this weekend, we got to see a trailer for Napoleon Dynamite.  I don't know if they can sustain a whole movie of the same caliber as the trailer, but I sure hope so.  Man, we laughed hard.  It goes in limited release in June.  Keep an eye out.
