Fog Time

There is so much fog outside right now that I'm wondering if I'm in Los Angeles or back on the Point! It's been weird weather ever since the Santa Anas started (by the way, who knew the Santa Anas could be cold? I didn't!). At least we are all being kept on our toes regarding Mother Nature!

So these past two days have been intense. We finished filming an hour ahead of schedule yesterday, and left the set content and with all around good feelings from cast, crew, and home owners! An instructor was supposed to stop by and observe our shoot, but we were done so early that by the time the instructor came around, we were gone. Score one for us! And the home owners didn't care about the ash on the pool decking, which was even more of a bonus.

Yesterday was not the best it could have been solely because of personal issues. The shoot went EXCEEDINGLY well, but Satan decided to mess with me and have my debit card number skimmed/stolen, and about $2,000 worth of charges were racked up in about three days. I wish I could be the recipient of all the stuff that was bought with it, because I'm sure it's more exciting than groceries. All of the charges were made in Idaho and Utah, so I don't think I'll be responsible for the money spent, especially as the charges are already off the account. But it is still stressful! I don't like using my credit card!

Also, I dropped my phone and it no longer works properly. AT&T can't do much about it as the phone isn't under warranty, and so my only hope is to see if the phone bounces back. Obi-Wan Phone-obi, you are my only hope!

The day went back up when I went out with Esther, Laura, Kerena, and Hani, all the girls on my HPW team, to Urban Outfitters, were I got an awesome pull over dress for $10. Yay for winding down time with some great gals!

Overall, things are looking up hill. I've had a rough few days dealing with some personal melancholy over being single, away from Point Loma, and a multitude of other things, but hey, it happens!

My thoughts for the day: how do you decide what your calling love wise is in life? Is it really that bad to be single all of your life? I'm never quite sure what I exactly want, and sadly, there is no quick sheet or Spark Notes of answers to life's toughest chapter: love. I don't think single life is weird or not cool, but it is harder than it looks, and seems to get harder every year. And of course everywhere I look I see couples. I have mixed emotions about dating right now, but c'est la vie. We will see how I feel next week!

Below is an interesting article Amber put on Facebook about voodoo zombies in Haiti. It's very well written and thoroughly researched (or seems to be). I'll let you decide for yourself!
