Busting Ass at Work

First of all, I'm OK.

Second of all, yesterday I tried to sit down in a chair that wasn't there and cracked my skull and bruised my tailbone. (Very gracefully, of course.) I got a goose egg on my head and a free trip to the emergency room but I'm totally fine. Just feel like someone's beaten me with potatoes in socks.

BUT, it made me think about the most important thing to have when you're brok(en) and you have the best life. (Besides y'all.) Cheeep health insurance. That's why I'm a member of Film Independent in LA. They give freelancers cheeep health care. It's $80 a year to join and you can get health and dental for like, $140 a month. And they don't really check up on what you do for a living, so if you've ever done anything that involves film or even thought about it, you can join. And San Fran has Film Arts, and they do the same things.

Take care of yourselves.

FIND LA

Night Divine

You want free? How 'bout this: Last night I was looking out the window in my hotel room, enjoying the trippy night sky and a glass of wine, and all of a sudden, I realized that I was hearing the choir at Grace Cathedral singing 'O Holy Night'. I listened to disembodied Christmas music for the next hour. Fo' free.

Bacon Candy Wins Big!

The Bacon Candy recipe that I posted on The Dirt Alert has won awards!

Colette,

Here's the URL for the Chili Cook-Off award photos. I'm the idiot in the cowboy hat near the bottom of the page. Unfortunately, there's no pictures of the product (got eaten too fast for the camera).

Good to run into you yesterday. Let's grab a drink or something while you're in town.

This is what I see from my hotel window. So weird to be in a hotel in SF, but if you've got to, this one ain't bad. And here's how you get it fo' free: Come up here for some crazy shoot and get the Aussie prod co you're working for to pay for it. Hells yeah.

Engage-O-Rama

Another way to have the best life is when your friends with great taste get married. H&T had a little engagement party the other day. Not only are they lovely, they are stylin'. This is one wedding you know is going to be good. So another fo' free tip: Make sure you get invited to the good weddings.

(Sad admission: Most of the photos taken at the party were of me and The Real Janelle, trying to figure out our best sides for photos. Yep, we really are that vain.)
