Not doing so well with this am I?

So another post...I've been occupying my days [which fly by as if they didn't exist] with working on some design work with Rita and by myself. Nothing paid yet just work with the hopes of improving my portfolio and getting a job. I'm really doing my best to not have to get a temporary sales job or the equivalent but if I need to I will. There are a few job fairs coming up which I plan on attending. One which is really exciting. I found it on the AIGA event's calendar and it's one for poor suckers like me...just graduated design students. I've been thinking about working on building up my portfolio and then going for an internship at an impressive design agency...paid or not paid and work my way up. I am good at that. I don't expect or want a free handout. I know I am a good designer and can learn to be a better one and I am willing to work hard to continue to improve.

So far my favorite experience in L.A. is going to the movies. As plain as that sounds it's far more entertaining here. Everyone claps, yells etc through out the previews and then they really get into the movie. I've seen Brüno and Harry Potter and although Harry wasn't the best movie...I still had a lot of fun. Movies are more interactive here...plus I love that there are a lot of family owned theaters [reminds me of my dad's theater growing up in CT] and the Manager at a local theater even dresses the roll. He dressed like Harry but I suppose didn't feel up to dressing like Brüno. Can't blame him.

Ben has been cooking amazing meals for the last few days...a few i've managed to document...as you can see below:

Spinach Stuffed Chicken wrapped in Bacon...
and a fresh fruit cup...AMAZING
epic sandwich with tomato soup and
chips with homemade spinach dip
homemade salisbury steak, eggs, salad and he
made some way to spicy for chelsea wings.

Delicious. Oh and even though I got a dining room table and painted it and everything we still prefer to use Heather's Calvin and Hobbes coffee table and watch a good movie!
