Settling into this LA life :)

On Wednesday we did everything we set out to and then some! We worked out, stuck to our diet, and decorated - here's the finished paint chip wall:
When Han moved the Sentra, this little flyer was wedged into the door haha subtle..
The day was yet young, so we organized to meet with Chambers to talk over all our agency options. It was SUCH a successful meeting! He approved of our number one agency and helped us figure out a game plan moving forward. He also asked us to be part of a couple really exciting acting opportunities coming up! The first one's that we're going to be part of a workshop of Chambers's monologues and scenes next week!! There's a successful producer from the valley who's interested in creating a theatre festival showcasing young talent - so we're working hard to make sure we impress him, very exciting!
After seeing Chambers we went home for a little while, had a light dinner (even though we could've eaten a small cow between us.. Or one each...), then went to the Universal City Walk to watch a movie! It's SUCH a cool spot: bright lights, yummy smells (painfully yummy), and a beautiful movie theatre! 
We watched That Awkward Moment and it was really good! Miles Teller and Zac Efron are just gorgeous and there were a couple really talented fresh faces in it, which is always encouraging and exciting to see! We were a little disappointed by the prospect of dating any guy in his 20s if that's an accurate look into what massive jerks they are, though! We're confident (well, hopeful) that we'll be the game changers rather than the girls on the "roster".

Yesterday Han had another agency meeting which went really well! It was after two mini panic attacks: 1) went to move the Sentra back because street cleaning on the other side of the street is Thursdays, IT WASN'T THERE!! No no no no no!!! But actually false alarm, it was there! Just further down the street than she remembered, nice...
2) Got to the agency address and IT WASN'T THERE!! No no no no no!!! (Bit of a theme of the morning) Googled the address, wrong address! Gahh! Double checked the email, right address! Phewww! False alarm, it was there! Just tucked in behind another building. The lady was lovely and said some really nice things! It probably won't be the one, though, because we want to capitalize on the sister thing - but it was still worth going and checking it out!
After that, we went to Starbucks to mooch their wifi again and got asked out on a date by a seriously sketchy, redbull-drinking guy named Bear. Eeek! Stranger danger!! We SO didn't know what to do, so we just avoided committing in any way and never called him - is that bad? We decided it was time to leave shortly after that encounter and went to the Samuel French Bookshop on Sunset Blvd to read some plays and acting books for a couple hours.
After that we headed home and tidied the apartment up to make it perfect because Mum and Q were coming over for tea/to see our appartment all set up on their way to dinner with friends. They were super impressed and helped us with the rest of our decorating! We now have framed posters of Marilyn and Audrey watching over us and a couple inspirational wall decals keeping us motivated!
JT came over after they'd left and we had dinner (Salmon and veggies!) together and caught up on everything that's been going on this last week and a half! It was great to see him and we're excited that now we're only 15 minutes away from quite a few friendly faces!
To top the night off, we finished The Avengers - on the TV because Mum and Q had brought over the DVD player!! Yeee! - and it was just wonderfully inspiring and satisfying, so freaking cool!

This morning, we got all ready to workout then CRASH!!! Ahhh!! The light fixture in the wardrobe FELL and SHATTERED EVERYWHERE!! We saw our lives flash before our eyes because we'd JUST been in there! So scary!! 
We called Rita, the manager, and she came up to have a look and help us clean it up - she's such a sweetie, our wonderful, Brazilian apartment mum. Anyway, we made it down to the gym, worked out hard, spent half an hour in the sauna (love it!) and went back up to wait for the Time Warner Cable guy to come save us from the agonies of internetlessness and creepy guys in Starbucks. We had a delish salad for lunch, the TWC man came and set up the internet no worries (SO happy we have internet, YAAAYYY!), we packed up a weekend bag, and now we're on the road to Corona for a weekend at Mum and Q's! Woo!!
