My 25th birthday. The one that took place last February. It's been overdue but since he's either been out of town or I've been working and we didn't want to go on a weekend, this week's been the first real opportunity to go.Yesterday was awesome. Fantastic. LEGENDARY if you will.

I hadn't been to a concert in ages and it was the perfect one for my reintroduction to all things musical. Jason had tickets to Monday's show but had to work so he asked if I wanted to try and see them last night.

I went down to Balboa (Down near Newport Beach - of the OC fame if you will) with my friend Ivy to hang out with some of her USC friends. A bunch of ADPis mostly and their guy friends.

While I haven't yet achieved the ability to create 4 foot tall works of art, I was pretty proud of my first foray.

The venue was an arena and the theme of the shoot was bullriding. Specifically, a piece of gum riding the bull. Yes, wrigleys has stooped that low. I'm sure it will be some scary piece of gum doing extreme things.

It was good but Crash was better in my opinion. I was most likely affected by all the "best movie of the year" reviews - usually when I hear those I think whatever I see will be amazing and I usually end up disappointed. The acting was great - Heath Ledger was fantastic and he definitely made me cry.

Oprah is the lesser of 2 evils (not by much) but today's show may have changed that.

currently at home in texas - new house, same old stuff. my parents moved across town into old town into this house that was built in 1905. other than being a bit cold and the decor a bit outdated, the house is really great. lots of space, a great yard, and just a good vibe about it. the kitchen is the worst part about it - weird purple/pink cabinets and outdated meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390301221345527541noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238766.post-1102439468844857132004-12-07T09:02:00.000-08:002004-12-07T09:16:46.696-08:00FOUR
Well, today is my 4 year anniversary with josh. 4 years is a long time to know anyone, never mind actually to say you've been dating someone for that long. various people, some we've known forever and others we've just met, have been starting to ask "when???" but it'll happen when it does. i have no doubt that i'll marry him - it's just a matter of when. i feel no pressure - it's enough to meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390301221345527541noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238766.post-1099786909702443412004-11-06T16:13:00.000-08:002004-11-06T16:21:49.703-08:00i've been really really bad about updating this thing...sorry. october had me in DC/Charlottesville, VA, Charleston, SC and South Beach (miami). only 1 more week of VHS then it's all done. good and bad about that - bad that it's no more steady work but good that i won't be living out of suitcases, etc and maybe josh and i can find an apartment and get our lives straightened out. that'd be meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390301221345527541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238766.post-1093459082639735612004-08-25T11:30:00.000-07:002004-08-25T11:38:02.640-07:00I’m home for a few (3) days from working on the road so I figure I’d make a quick entry since i haven't for virtually 2 months and give an update.

With it being Memorial Day weekend and all, I had to work. Well, I didn't have to work but i couldn't find anyone else to cover the office for the weekend and since I had no plans and could use the extra money, why not.

there. i said it. i miss college. i miss my friends. i miss my sorority. i hate to say it but i even kinda sorta miss classes. there is such a structure and a sense of security at school that i took for granted that just isn't there now. maybe if i had a real job that wouldn't be the case but i get the feeling from those friends who have jobs that something's not right meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390301221345527541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238766.post-1073597668292259722004-01-08T13:26:00.000-08:002004-01-08T13:34:48.066-08:00I only created this blog thing about a month ago and i'm already delinquent in writing. oh well...that's how these things go. but i was happy to see that some people are interested in what i might have to say, even if it is limited as of now. but i'm back in LA so hopefully more interesting things will be going on than in texas.

figured i'd list the things i've worked on in LA so far so if any happen to see them, you'll know to appreciate them on more than just a crappy tv/film level...enjoy...

Weird Travels (Travel Channel - mondays at 8 eastern time)
Twista - Slow Jamz (music video...apparently has some airplay on mtv)

so, randomly, flipping through the channels tonight i found the last three episodes of boomtown that i worked on airing on nbc. since the show was cancelled, i never thought i'd see them but here they are. they're remarkably true to the final script that i read...i guess when the show's cancelled they don't do a lot of reshoots or rewriting...they just want to attempt to get their meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390301221345527541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238766.post-1072146985370980702003-12-22T18:33:00.000-08:002003-12-27T20:47:58.036-08:00CREATION
i created this blog to commit to something what i'm thinking at any given time and possibly to see if anyone else actually cares to read what i've said. if anything, it'll be good to publish my thoughts and get them out of my head. enjoy.meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390301221345527541noreply@blogger.com0
