london-bound

i leave tomorrow. i have a 3:10 flight that gets me into london at 7:10 a.m. thursday morning (london time). i hope i can sleep on the plane, so i have some energy to enjoy my thursday. it's my only free day. on friday, jay, paul, and jody arrive. the four of us then head to kent, just to the south of london. we'll stay in a b&b friday night, one that's right down the street from the london golf club. we'll audition golfers for BBIV from 10 to 3-4 p.m. saturday, and then we'll all head back into london and stay at the royal national hotel smack-dab in the heart of russell square...just a 15 minute walk from soho. i'm sure we'll all go out saturday night. personally, i'd like to go to a club, but i doubt paul and jay would go for that. they'll just want to get drunk on guiness. so i'll probably grab me a time out london when i get into town and try to hit a club thursday night, that being if there's a dj worth hearing.

tonight i need to pack and import a few cds into my ipod. last night lauressa gave me two discs she burned for me: zero 7 and some old-school stevie wonder. also, rizza (our new freelance coordinator who replaced the lovely sally-ann) burned me the new beck cd. so i'll have some fresh music for the trans-atlantic journey.

today i felt (and still feel) a little down. i'm still bummed out that i lost my two favorite co-workers from BBII. jen doesn't want to work on IV cause she's tired of working with our sometimes-lazy PA, whom she doesn't get along with. i'd rather have jen. she's a really talented producer, and she compliments me perfectly. furthermore, sally-ann left for a higher paying job. i still miss her. she's a beautiful english girl (something about that accent!). she likes to ride horses, drinks green tea religiously, and is a beautiful soul to boot. so, the result is i'm now trying to stay as fired up about doing the BB thing all over again, but i just know it won't be as much fun without them. that's life, though, right? people come into your life and then eventually they leave it. i wish i wouldn't get so attached. i really miss sally-ann. she's still in orlando and of course, the night we threw her her going away, she was all, "yeah, we'll keep hanging out!." i'm sure she meant it, but that's not how life works, and deep inside i knew it as she was saying it to me...

here's a pic from that going-away we threw her a few weeks back.
