LA LA LAND ARCHIVES - Reality Shows and Hair Cuts

Ok everyone,
Now that I'm "blogging", I've decided to bring back some of the old emails for your reading pleasure. I'm going to go in order from the original emails that I sent out when I first came out to LA. All the Archives will be in BOLD so you can pick 'em out just in case you only want to read my new stuff. Have fun...and leave comments!!!

Hello Everyone,
Just thought I'd send out another email update about the goings on in La La land. I am starting my second week at Reality Central. So far it has been most enjoyable, and I am excited about all the possibilities here.
This weekend I brought home one of the demo reels that we received from a producer trying to get his show launched. While Dan, Chris, Sam, and I enjoyed this "reality" show, it became very obvious that it could never be aired. Well, it could be aired, but all the stuff that people would actually want to watch would have to be completely edited out. Take away the stripping and the sex scenes and unfortunately what is left over is actually pretty boring. The "characters" are very uninteresting. Oh well. Keep trying all you producers out there!!
Friday night was Digital Domains wrap up party for IRobot. It was definitely a fun time. Chris headed off from work to pick me up Friday afternoon, but I was already done so I walked across the street to the mall. Once Chris got to Santa Monica, we got dinner and ate on the peer near the beach - what a view!! Then we drove to Venice and then went to Digital Domain for the party. They had a life-size robot like the one in the movie inside this giant circular bar. Free drinks for everyone!! And they had the biggest green screen I think I've ever seen (Dave, you'd have fun with that one!) Plus the director and the actor who played the main robot were also there.
Saturday morning Dan and I went to get our first LA hair cuts. It was a fun experience. My cut is really good and I love Dans- he isn't so sure though. I guess I probably like it because it looks just like Matt's hair ( so sad I know!!) but when we went to the salon I wasn't wearing contacts or glasses so when the girl turned him around in the chair it was like...wahooo dude, you're Matt! Crazy, Crazy. He says he might just shave his head and start over; whatever.
We've watched a few more movies. Chris says I have Movie Amnesia; I get half way through a movie and realize I've already seen it, or I ask dumb questions about actors and directors. We watched that movie with the Rock and Sean William Scott (Miranda, Alice, Roderick - you know!!) and as soon as I saw the scene with the monkeys I thought to myself, "Go away monkeys, go away monkeys (Alice!!) " Ha Ha, and I realized I'd watched it when Alice and Roderick rented it. Oh well!
On Saturday night we all went over to Kim's apartment which is totally cute. We played a new "drinking game" that Dan and Kim invented appropriately named "drink". Basically you think of something and ask the others "What ____ am I thinking of?" Like what finger am I thinking of or what president am I thinking of or what 80's band am I thinking of. Then the other people guess and if they get it wrong they have to drink. There are other rules too, but anyway, it was a blast.
On Sunday there was much pool going, relaxing, eating sushi, and watching Sam practice his stunts in the courtyard. He can flip off trees and he is working on being able to take four steps up a tree before he flips instead of just three!... go Sam the squirrel!!

Hope all is well with everyone
