Jason's Daily Notes

Woke up than snoozed (what else is new). What sucked: I was dreaming that my alarm clock was actually 4 hours ahead, so that it was actually 3am instead of 7am and so I should keep sleeping. Needless to say I slept in.

Couchsurfers: Trish, Jess, and Dai - from Australia. Nice girls. I picked them up from the Westwood FlyAway bus stop last night.

Work: Jack's not here. So that means I'm taking over more work in his absence. However, the work load wasn't as bad as it could be.

No breakfast this morning; even though I was hungry I didn't eat lunch until 1:30

Lunch: Jambalaya from the Creole Chef (Thursday farmers market) - $7.00. It was good - I would love to try more creole/cajun food.
- I was interrupted while enjoying my lunch at my desk to join a meeting with our Westlaw sales rep (Randy). Meh.

Holiday Party Tonight!!! Yes, I'm excited!

Songs: Lady Gaga - Bad Romance; Wax - California

- Last night: Watched TAR (online) while eating a microwaved TV dinner
- Brian and Erica! NOOOO! Why?!!
- Started reading through the Vitamin Water case before going to bed. Lulled me to sleep quite quickly.
- ALARM @ 6:45 ... snooze til 7:45. Uploaded a few pics to Picasa.
- got to work ~ 8:50. Jack was already here (it's his last day before he leaves for New York)
- still busy - updating client list; searching for a judicial opinion; uploading a new document production

Lunch w/ Jenn today at her apt! Feast from the East!


Songs: Jay-Z & Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind; Lady Gaga - Bad Romance

Woke up 6:45. Had tea for breakfast. Only.
- the heater was on last night! Finally! Lighting the pilot light was a surprizingly involved process. There was a lot of dust though - whew! It set off several of the smoke detectors (which I had to subsequently disconnect).
- Matthew drove me to work - we got here early, because he needed to use our office printers to print out review notes for one of his finals.
- It's really cold today! I can see snow-covered Mt. Wilson through the window (it's just a small peek at the peak, between two office towers - but it's enough to beckon me)!

Lunch: One Tamal (no "e" at the end in the singular form of "tamales") - I shared that little grammatical fact with Coby, Louis, and Jason (the doc reviewer, whom I just met). Thanks Jenn!

Busy busy today! Pulling docs/searching dockets all morning, getting consumed by making a binder in the afternoon. And there are printer issues too! UGH. Had to outsource some of my work to Matt + Rachel.
- it's all good busy though. I feel appreciated for all the work I do :)

I finally called Time Warner Cable to exchange our broken cable box. Just have to drop it off at their office/location.

Song: Seether - Careless Whisper ("I'm never gonna dance again... guilty feet have got no rhythm!" - the only metal song I've really liked)

A series of storms are going to plow into California this week, dropping a potentially dangerous deluge upon this year's burn areas. The first storm is rolling into central and southern California now:

slept in today until 8:15 - aaah
CSers: Stine; Anastasiya + Alena (Russia [Vladivostok] and Belarus)
get together for Jenn tonight
Lunch: leftover Thanksgiving food (still?!)

MLIA stopped updating on my Google reader :/

Songs: Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling

Woke up cold + late (I put the heater outside for my couchsurfers - Stine; Anastasiya and Alena)
work - 8:45
drove down Ohio Ave for a faster commute!

- Imagining my day as if it's being narrated as in a movie
- makes things def more interesting/dramatic

Lunch: Thursday = farmers market; Thai-Mex BBQ

My moustache (from Movember) is fully grown in

Need to cancel our DVR

• Stine still staying at my place
• Quick breakfast (cereal) - I slept through my radio alarm (which goes off for 1 hour)!
• I've been seeing police pulling lots of people over lately! In groups of 3 cops at a time too!

Couchsurfer Stine (from Denmark) is with me this week

I feel healthy today, but not fully "good"... kinda guilty/regretful

I have new glasses! Thick framed!
- and a moustache. I'm so indie :P !

- still researching nicotine and apoptosis...
- driving home tonight to pick up Matt's phone charger and my photos/photobooks

Songs: Sara Barielles - Love Song
