From Happy Hour to Happy Hours

Hey there everyone. So the week is over, and it’s time for the weekend. Yay! Even though it was only a four day week, that doesn’t change the fact that I am glad to have a few days off. Tonight after work I went to Harry’s Bar on Fillmore Street for a happy hour with the St. Dominic’s Young Adult Group. It was awesome. We probably had about 15 people show up, some of whom I knew, and some of whom I did not, so it was good to catch up with friends, and make some new ones. We were at the bar for about two to two and a half hours, and then a group of six went next door to The Grove for some dinner. I had a good time. I was planning on making it to the gym tonight, but by the time I finished up at dinner and then took Mike home, it was about 10 p.m. and I didn’t really feel up to working out so late. I’ll just have to make sure I get to the gym this weekend.
So I finally got internet in my office today. The room I am in was never wired for internet, but I installed a wireless router in the office upstairs from mine and now I’m getting wireless signal in my office. That’s great because I was always having to go to another room to hook my computer up to the internet.
So I just saw the most ridulous KFC commercial on TV. A woman pulls into the driveway while her husband is hosing is down. As she walks up the drive, her husband spots a bucket of KFC in her arms, so he drops the hose, leaving the water on. She walks into the house and her son is playing a video game in the living room. He hears her coming and says, “Mom, I’ve just got one more level…” but before he finishes, he sees the KFC and drops his controller immediately. The mom continues to walk down the hall past her daughter’s bedroom (in my experience bedrooms are always between the living room and the kitchen…). We hear the daughter on the phone sobbing and saying, “I can’t believe you’re breaking up with me!” Then the mom walks past, and the girl says, “I have to go” and drops the phone, smiling. Then we see a great shot of them all around the table being your typical happy American family, and the mom says, “Works every time.” Yah… KFC is that good. By the way, KFC was started in the state of Utah. Unrelated to the commercial.
Pamela e-mailed me a couple cute pictures of me and baby Jesse today. Jesse is Paula’s son (adopted from Honduras). For those of you who don’t know, Paula is the Associate Producer on RENT, and my direct supervisor during post-production. Jesse is 6 months old, and these pictures were taken when Lata took us out to dinner on June 30.

In this picture, Jesse is fascinated with my glasses and is trying to take them off. Actually, I was over at Paula’s house today and while I was holding him, he actually managed to take my glasses off of me. It was pretty cute. The woman sitting to my right (wearing the bluish-green sweater) is Lata and the woman to her right, whose face you can only see part of, is his mom Paula.

Here is a nice picture of me holding Jesse. When I look at this picture, I can’t help but feel that it was bluescreened or something, but it is a real picture. Does anyone else feel that way? And goodness, look how big my hands look while I’m holding him. Amazing.
