Inspired partially by one of my friends weekly emails, I’m going to write weekly entries in my blog that focus on what I’ve been doing the past week. Little sketches on what is going on in my life. <\/p>\n
New Year’s was spent at Zanzibar in Santa Monica with some new friends. There was a DJ set by Jason Sole (of KCRW) until the countdown at midnight. Breaking in the first hours of 2008 was the band Breakestra<\/a>, a funky hip-hop orchestra. It was a great night of dancing and meeting new folks. (Pics Here<\/a>)<\/p>\n After sleeping in and watching football for much of the rest of New Year’s Day, it was back to work on Wednesday. My first day back in the office since getting back to LA (but not my first day of work). Caught a showing of There Will Be Blood<\/i>, the new film by Paul Thomas Anderson at the Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood. The movie was amazing and the score was mindblowing, a character in itself. I still like No Country for Old Men<\/i> as my favorite for best movie of 2007, but There Will Be Blood <\/i>was definitely nipping at its heels.<\/p>\n I went to the dentist on Thursday. The dentist actually cleaned my teeth, which was kind of weird. I don’t think I’ll be going back to this dentist though. She wasn’t horrible once I actually got in, but I definitely felt as I was just a $ sign to her.<\/p>\n Friday was back in the office and a long conversation with my boss about goals for the coming semester. The weekend was full of NFL Playoffs, reading and relaxing.<\/p>\n Classes don’t start here at USC until next Monday, so work is pretty quiet, but I should be able to get a bunch of stuff done this week as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Inspired partially by one of my friends weekly emails, I’m going to write weekly entries in my blog that focus on what I’ve been doing the past week.
