It Starts With Droppin' Phones

I dropped my phone in the snow this morning...  It is dry now.

I ate my favorite fast food sandwich at the mall food court with my cousins ike and izzy.  The sandwich is the Arby's chicken salad... I got a wrap this time, it was ok.



I finished reading Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point Last week and now i am reading Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends and Influence People for the 4th time in 5 years.  It is a book to live by, but I need to keep refreshing myself of the points the book makes.  It is easy in the world we live in to be mean to people, to lack a loving heart and to go out of your way to be genuinely interested in someone.  I used to be better at it and I really believe I have gotten much of the opportunities in my life based on the principals in this book.  Every new adventure and new situation I get into requires the finesse that is taught in the book.  
(note to future self:  Read this book once a year... or listen to the audio book.)





I have lost 12 pounds in the past 5 weeks!  I am doing research for a new documentary idea that I have on how to lose weight.  So far it is working, but I have sort of hit a plateau due to -20 weather here in MN the past week.  I should have been out playing hockey, but instead I was sitting inside watching Woody Allen films.  I watched 6 in the past 10 days.

At work today I was in the middle of shooting and the director of our office busted into the studio with the rest of the staff and said, "cut!  we are watching this inauguration!"  I was pretty stoked because Obama is one of the most intriguing speakers I have heard.  It is always an inspiration to watch him, I really hope he lives up to his promises because he made some good ones :)

It is Skyler Stone's Birthday Celebration tonight at the improv in LA!  Someday I will live in the LA area and get to go to his shows at the Improv and take advantage of his comp tickets.  Show him some love
