The Guild BTS
After hanging lights, I finished my first behind the scenes piece for the DVD of the second season of The Guild. This first piece is the only piece that will play on MS Video after they air the fourth episode. I think it turned out pretty good and both Felicia (creator) and Kim (producer) enjoyed it, which is what is important. I brought the hard drive with the quicktime of the piece over to Felicia's. We chatted for about 15 minutes and then I was on my way home to try and enjoy the last remaining few hours of my long weekend. All in all a very fun and Christmasy extended weekend.
Christmas Lights
On my last day of my four-day weekend I was able to put up our Christmas lights on our house. I got up early around 8am and started to sort through the stands of lights. I was amazed at how many of the strands were half-out and unusable. Luckily we bought some a few days after Christmas last year so I had some back up lights. So I climbed onto the roof and started to hang lights. Last year I wanted to write Merry Christmas on the roof but didn't have enough lights but this year I had plenty. I am happy with the results and I think I'm going to add a few more lights to the garage and front door area but for the most part it's very Christmasy at our place.

Christmas Shopping
Today Harry and I finally were able to get out and start our Christmas shopping. Well we really started a few weeks ago but only online buying. Today we actually went out to the stores and man were they busy. So many people and a ton of traffic... I think we lasted about four hours before Harry and I looked at each other and said "we are done". Both of us don't like crowds and there were some big crowds. But we did manage to get a bunch of stuff. This year is going to be a lighter year but we enjoy giving and will give what we can... tomorrow I'm putting up Christmas lights.

台灣人必須學會組織戰，面對兩個支那黨（共產黨與國民黨）的夾殺，才能抵抗外來政權的入侵

Christmas Decorating
Well as tradition with me it's the day after Thanksgiving so now I have permission to decorate my house. Today I did the living room and dining room. This is my favorite time of the year and I love putting up as much stuff as I can. Next up are the lights on the house.

螞蟻
螞蟻的身體分為頭、胸、腹三部份。頭部的主要構造有口器、眼
睛和觸角。螞蟻的口器主要由一對大顎及其他五對構造所構成，螞蟻
利用大顎來搬東西和捕捉獵物；眼睛則是由許多小眼睛所構成的複眼
。
螞蟻和蜜蜂一樣，是一整個大家族住在一起，我們稱之為社會性
的昆蟲。螞蟻視力並不好，主要都是靠觸角摸一摸、碰一碰和聞味道
來和同伴溝通，哪邊有食物，哪邊有危險。
雌蟻和雄蟻交配後，雌蟻的翅膀會掉下來，然後找個適合的地方
產卵，成為蟻后，蟻后的體型是家族裡最大的，牠什麼事都不用做，
只負責產卵，繁殖後代。雄蟻和蟻后交配後，雄蟻就完成牠的工作，
沒多久就會死掉。

Thanksgiving
Today Harry and I went to my Mom's for Thanksgiving. Along with my brother and sister-in-law, grandmother and step dad's sister and boyfriend. Traffic was horrible and it took us nearly 2 hours to get down to Newport Beach. But once there is was a good day and an excellent Turkey dinner.

More Guildie Goodness
Today is the premiere of the Second Season of The Guild.This season is sponsored by MSN, Sprint and XBox Live. You can watch all of season one (about 40 minutes) and the first episode of season two here.
I have been doing alot of behind the scenes videotaping (as you know if you read my blog on a regular bases) and I'm very proud of being part of The Guild family. Of course most of my work won't be seen until the Season Two DVD comes out but I do have a few things that might be released before hand. I am also taking all the still photos of the BTS and those are starting to show up on the main website www.watchtheguild.com.
Please support this great webseries, Felicia Day (creator/writer/actress) is the sweetest person you can ever met and deserves all the success she gets.
Rock on Guildies!!!!!
3rd Pass on BTS The Guild
Today I was able to cut in the opening credits and tweak some of the audio for my BTS The Guild piece. It looks great, going to send it one more time to Felicia and Kim just in case they want to make any changes. Then on this coming Friday I'll uprez it and output it.. Once BTS piece down.. many more to go. They are so much fun to work on I can't wait to see what else I can come up with.
More DVD Screeners
Over the past few days I have gotten a few more DVD screeners. Of note I got Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda, both we saw in the theater but really enjoyed them. We actually watched Wall-E on Sunday... but today I got The Dark Knight, which is awesome since I haven't been able to get to the movies to see this one. So I'm very excited to sit down this weekend and check it out. I love getting these screeners as this past year I have been so busy and we haven't had many chances to get to the movies so I love getting movies I haven't seen yet.. let's hope I get many more.
names have been changed to protect the *guilty*
i started this blog this morning, fully intending to share just one story. six hours later, new developments have unfolded and the story gets twice as good.
story #1:
(background: i have a history of attracting the attention of the dudes who front as upstanding mormons but are closet drunks. in most cases, i jump ship when the pieces come together. this time included. i seriously jumped ship.)
a couple weeks ago i was sitting in a meeting with a lady who lives along one of the roads we're widening. she arrived at our office with a file full of project information. on top of the file was a sticky note. it had our office's address and phone number written on it, along with the date and time of the meeting. old people, you know, are frugal... it looked like she had re-used the same sticky note from another occassion, because also on that note was the name and phone number of a dude i know who fits the criteria in parenthases above.
my eyes got big, i immediately became distracted with thoughts like, "why in the world would this little old lady have his phone number?!" what a random connection between my personal life and my work life.
i sent mr. man a text message asking if he knew this old lady. no response. no response. no response.
until sunday night. weeks have passed, by the way. what's the point of replying at this point? and how does anyone even remember to reply to a text that old? ... anyway...
our convo:
mr. man: no i don't know hilda.
aubry: whoa, delayed response. well, there's a old lady out there with your number.
mr. man: weird! what are you doing?
aubry: right now? driving home from st george
mr. man: fun what were you doing there?
aubry: family stuff.
mr. man: when will you be home?
aubry: i just left. three or four hours... why?
mr. man: wondering what you wetegonna do. (yes, it really was that convoluted)
aubry: what i'm going to do or what we're going to do?
mr. man: either.
aubry: uhh... since when did we hang out? i'm unpacking and going to bed.
mr. man: since now.
aubry: convenient timing. i can't
mr. man: you can't?
(2 second delay... but i had already starts to replyto this text...)
mr. man: bf?
aubry: right, i can't.
although i didn't intend to lie to him about whether or not i had a boyfriend, i think that's the message i sent.
who cares, right?
story #1.5
i call my mom on monday night to share this story with her, like all good daughters should.
our convo:
rebecca: wow... that guy's persistent. kind of nice though...
aubry: nice?! what are you talking about?
rebecca: well, it's always nice to get attention from a boy.
aubry: are you kidding me>!(*&^%$$#$%^ mom, he was DRUNK!!!!! if i'm going to get attention from a boy, the least i can ask is that he remembers it in the morning! there's nothing nice about attention from a drunk. he's useless. i don't have time to deal with a mess like that. if i want a boy, i want him in a practically perfect state, like me...
rebecca: dr. laura would be so proud right now.
aubry: write her a letter.
story #2
(in an e-mail to my mother...)
i just went to donate blood and had one of those "positive-attention-from-boys" moments that puts the drunk dudeto shame:
dan - the guy who took my blood, looks like kelly ripa's husband, mark consuelos or something... - was working between two people. i was directed to sit in the far chair, with my right arm exposed for blood sucking. the kid next to me looked like he was about 22 years old and DORKY. looked like a classic video game nerd. greasy hair, kind of gangely, and wore one of those flammable rayon shirts with dragons on it. oh, and white socks. dan started the pressure cuff on mr. dork-face's left arm and said, "oh shoot, it doesn't look like you have a very good vein here... i'm going to have to use your other arm." dork-face gets all scared and nervous. dan does a very diplomatic job at explaining his options. dork-face freaks out, stands up and says, "uhhh... just deal with her. get back to me. i have to think about this." after more of the same, dork-face leaves.... it's just too much to deal with. weird.
dan comes back to me. "sorry about that, that was weird," he says.
"yeah, i thought he was going to tell you that he relies pretty heavily on his right hand for his world of warcraft battles," i said.
"uhh, i'll be honest - i thought the same thing. but, did you see his shirt? it was cool. there were dragons all over it! i haven't seen that since the mid-nineties," dan says.
yada yada yada... where did you go to school? oh, really... my sisters went there... i looked in your chart, it looks like we're kind of the same age, yada yada yada.... did you see the vampire movie? isn't it a chick flick? i should start telling girls i'm deeply attracted to their blood, but love them enough to control myself... yada yada yada.
then another donor comes and sits in the other chair. dan has to deal with the both of us. he's getting her all prepped right as finish up. i quit squeezing the ball in my hand... i've done this before... i know when it's okay to stop. all the while, dan's prepping her - ya know, doing the iodine thing, etc. - but talking to me. among other things, he says, "you can stop squeezing now."
i said, "yeah, i stopped when i heard the beeping."
"oh, really... looks like you know what you're doing... like you've been here before. i guess you already know how this goes. i'll just do my job," he says, all sassy-pants like.
and then. AND THEN...
dan says, "do you ever have a song stuck in your head that is ironic for all the right reasons?"
"sometimes. not right now... but i'm guessing you do..." i say.
"yeah, i do! it's 'i want you" by marvin gaye....weird huh?" he says.
"yeah, kind of ironic."
so.... "when will you be home? i want to hang out... i'm a mad drunk" is nothing like smooth dawg dan.
that's the kind of boy attention girls appreciate. even if it doesn't materialize.
tell dr. laura that.

family home evening. with real families.
chris + linsey, dave + lauren (and wes!), and i have started a little monday night family home evening tradition as of late.
i'm inviting them over more often.
last night was my turn to host. dave + lauren had never been to my house before (never seen the pink bathroom!) so this was an extra special treat.
after dinner, we settled to watch the jazz game. wes got to wandering... and before i knew it he was asking for a paper towel. and then... began dusting my entertainment center.
i'm inviting them over more often.

Rest and Notes
Today I pretty much rested. I still wasn't felling 100% and I had done some running around and really shouldn't have. I had planned to do some Christmas shopping and get out all our Christmas decorations but once I was on the couch it was hard to get off.
I did get an email from Felicia saying how much she loved my BTS piece and had only one note about adding the show's opening credits to the beginning. Whoo hooo.

2nd Pass on the BTS The Guild
Today I was finally able to work on the notes that Felicia and Kim gave me and cut in the directors interview as well. After a few hours I am very pleased with the results. I can't really talk about what it is as it's all very top secret but I do know it's a companion piece for Episode 4 of season two.. it will also be an extra on the Season two DVD. Now I get to send it off to Felicia and Kim for final notes.Picture is of Sean (Director), Me, and Jared (Gaffer) looking tough... well trying to anyways.

Gourmet Food And Wine Expo
One of the most fun events of the year - and god help us, they have a free media area - the Gourmet Food And Wine Expo is back at the Metro Convention Centre.
As the gallery of my new drinking buddies above attests, this show is an unparalleled opportunity to sample over 1200 fine wines, beers and spirits from around the globe. The Gourmet Food And Wine Expo is for everyone, from the novice to collector, who wishes to experience wines from nearly every wine-making region worldwide.
I personally managed to sample France, California, Spain, Niagara (on multiple occassions), Italy, Chile, and Australia (ahhh ... Australia :)
Offerings range from the top sellers of wines, beers and spirits at the LCBO to the hidden gems that are only available through Canada’s top wine agents by consignment or private order.
As with the annual Beer Festival in the summer, take the TTC to the Convention Centre because you just know, with all the wonderful beverages on hand, you'll be trying out more than a few samples. Let the TTC handle the driving and you are free to make the most of the day.
Visitors can also sample gourmet food products and signature dishes from Toronto's best restaurants.
Nov. 20 - Nov. 23 Metro Convention Centre, S. Building , 22 Bremner Blvd. Admission: VIP Preview night (Nov. 20) $35, General Admission $15
curly girl.
i think the mail man hates me. i check my mail once a week, if that, and my box is always stuffed SO full, it takes me a couple loads to the car to get it all.
the problem is - aside from the occassional magazine, it's never anything that great. mortgage statements, a gas bill, shopko ads. i mean, what's the motivation?
this morning, however, i found this little gem in my mailbox... all the way from ithaca, ny. thanks, robin.
you see, we ran into these sweet things in jackson, wy this summer. i bought one for robin, she bought one for me... and we planned to send them to each other. to my surprise... this was my lucky day.
they're all so charming. can i have one of each?

Pushing Daisies Cancelled
I was so bummed to hear that ABC in all its wisdom cancelled Pushing Daisies. I guess it's not a surprise as this is a very unique and one of a kind TV series and there is nothing else like it on TV... so of course it had to be cancelled. In it's first season last year it was a modest hit and a fan favorite. Unfortunately the writers strike ended it's first season with only 9 episodes and ABC never repeated it during the break so it disappeared for nine months. The second season has been great it seems the audience never came back. At least we got 13 episodes this season and since the producer said they ended it on a cliffhanger he plans to continue the story via comic book or maybe even a movie.. so Pushing Daisies may be gone from the airwaves, it's not the last will see of this wonderfully whimsical world.
Feeling Better
Today I am feeling better, I had another rough night last night as my body was so achy and I couldn't find a good position to sleep in. I did go into work around noon and that was a mistake. You know how you feel better so you start to do your normal stuff but you really aren't better and should rest... well I made the mistake of thinking I was better.. got home around 5pm and rested the rest of the day..

last birthday post... i promise!
so, you know how your favorite stores send you coupons for your birthday? not even your favorite stores, but anybody you've ever given your e mail address to (coldstone, sephora, rubios, buca di beppo, loehmann's, gap, and dsw to name a few)...
this year, by far, my favorite has been anthropologie's birthday treat.

it came in a cute little brown envelope. hand addressed, i might add. it didn't spit out of a machine along with the other 45,000 november birthday anthro-ites.
the front says, "so..." right up my alley. dot dot dot. how did they know?
and inside... BUTTONS!... and COLOR!... and THREAD! oh, my!
ka-yoot!

Food Poisoning
So about 10pm last night I wasn't feeling so hot. I felt as though I was going to throw up and my stomach was being ripped apart. I knew something was wrong and because it came on so fast I realized that it must have been food poisoning. Harry and I had the same dinner (I made Chicken and rice) and he was fine so I'm thinking it was the Jack in the box I had for lunch. All I know is that I was in major pain and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I slept on an off getting up over and over to run to the bathroom thinking I was going to throw up.. well nothing happened. I had taken several baths to sooth my stomach. I had not eaten all day and had no desire too.
Well today I called into work and told them I wasn't coming in as there was no way I was able to stand for more then five minutes. Finally around 10am after another bath I was going to make my self-vomit. I knew that once I got this stuff out of my stomach I would start to feel better. Well I got out of the bath and was about to stick my finger down my throat when it happened. Four times in a row.. I hadn't thrown up in six or seven years and it's such a horrible feeling.
But once it was over I started to feel better and I even had a few spoon full of tomato soup, which my wonderful husband made for me. Slowly I started to feel better.. not great but better.. I hope to feel better tomorrow.

oh, oh, o-oh.
i don't know where to begin. nkotb. donnie, danny (no one ever really liked him, did they?), joey, jon, and jordan. heart throbs.
saturday night was completely dedicated to my childhood. nostalgic. not to mention - the essence of boy band mania. and, true to my word, i made t-shirts for jen, lara, and myself.
aubry: donnie, i'm hangin' tough for you
lara: jordan, you've got the right stuff, baby
jen (sassy pants): joey, i'm old enough to make out with you now
there's a slight chance that i lost my voice screaming. slight chance. another slight chance that i felt 13 years old all over again.
choreographed dance moves. and still so good after 18 years.
my main man, donnie. so bling-y.
ever wondered what 30,000 30 year old women look like?
so glad to have had lara there with me... she brought the old school tapes.
donnie wore a shirt that said "i love mormon girls". made me swoon. also - a direct quote: "everybody knows that if you're looking for a good woman, you've got to go to utah." word.
that joey really is so cute. too bad he belongs to miss jen.
this is not a posed picture. this really is how i found jen while joey was doing his solo performance. if you look hard enough, you'll find tears.
my donnie performed cover girl. so perfect.
donnie's going on the fridge.
very boyz ii men...
boston, baby.

boston, baby. also noteworthy... natasha bedingfield and lady gaga. great openers. we had the back up dancers' moves down. we were practically profesh.
and... not to be overlooked... david archuleta was in attendance. such a patron of the arts. miss jen's eagle eye caught him and his posse walking across the floor to exit the building. girls swooned.

friday night's white trash poser party was pretty much perfection. white trash. layton + chuck-e-cheese = white (and brown) trash. good thing i didn't really dress up as a mexican...
the crew. you've got a snowboarder, a sports fanatic, a republican, a granola environmentalist, and all types of plain ol' white trash!
we even had to play white trash birthday games. what would i do if i didn't have lara by my side?
she was a republican... just for me.
he really did startle me.
i have a big bubble, alright?...

oh, and thanks to ryan for the killer Sandy City Public Works baseball hat. i have a growing collection of safety orange.

amalia arranged birthday lunch for mo and i on friday. we had a big crowd, so we hit up red robin... they always fit us in. i happened to be free lunch friday, so no one paid.
the crowd started to dwindle, but mo and i still had a birthday cake to eat. no plates, no knives... just two forks and two birthday girls.

i know better not be friends with boys with girlfriends.
last wednesday brought me to the hotel cafe tour - girl edition (or something like that). unfortunately, my camera battery was dying, but i managed to snap a few.
thanks to brooke, for the concert tix - what a birthday treat.
we stood up front, not five feet from the microphones. we were thisclose. here's proof.
another treat? seeing kate havnevik (all the way from norway) perform live. her songs play during all the crucial moments of grey's anatomy. denny's death, the time meredith holds the bomb... crucial, crucial moments. and it's perfection every time.
meiko's broken string.
emily wells, meiko, and thao nguyen
kelly, brooke, and meeeee.

emily wells, meiko, and thao nguyen
kelly, brooke, and meeeee.i DID feel slightly out of place - the performers were all sporting their mini's, crazy colored tights, and fantastic boots. where was the memo?
