A Busy Day in Studio City
I started the day off at the D Miller Salon in Studio City,getting my hair trimmed and dyed.
I went alittle bit darker than last time. It was supposed to be a very dark brown.
And it was more closer to a black.
It doesn't matter - my hair tends to fade quickly, and get sunwashed very fast.
So very soon, it was a nice dark brown.
And I splurged and got alittle bit more shaping with the trim. I specifically requested "long layers".
Nothing to drastic.
While I was in Studio City, I stopped off at the Daily Grill for a late breakfast.
I got my favorite, eggs florentine .... it was delicious.
While I had my eggs florentine, I read a very interesting book, Signs and Wonders by Albert Clayton Gaulden.
Then as I came out of the restaurant, I saw that DSW Shoes was having a sale.
Since I was looking for a nice pair of black loafers, I decided to stop in.
I emerged two hours later with two pairs of leather casual shoes and one pair of aerobic shoes.
According to my receipt, my bill was $125.27 - but I saved $117.37 off of the retail price.
So that is a really good savings.
I also joined the DSW Rewards program, which adds up my points everytime I buy something.
And then my points add up to even more savings.
I was having so much fun on my day in Studio City, that I was running late to meet friends at The Arclight Cinema .
I looked at my watch, and had to rush to make it there in time.
The movie we saw was Babel .
I really loved this movie. I thought it was very intelligent and well-written. And the story was amazing.
It is about four different stories in four different parts of the world - and each story is connected by a single Gun.
I thought the story of how one gun could effect so many different people was incredible.
It is one of those movies that really makes you think about what is going on in diffferent parts of the world.

Evening in Studio City
In the evening, I drove out to CBS Studios in Studio City for MFI International Fellowship .
Their guest speaker tonight was Doug Jones . He plays Pan and The Pale Man in Pan's Labyrinth .
I was very interested to hear him speak, because I had just seen Pan's Labyrinth a week and a half ago.
I had wanted to see it ever since I had volunteered for the sold-out midnight show at the AFI Film Fest .
Doug Jones has a website, The Doug Jones Experience .
There are alot of great pictures of his appearances on here.
After that, I needed to stop off at the Trader Joe's that is across the street from CBS.
I was out of the Trader Joe's Decaf Chai Green Tea. And its my favorite.

Church, Gossip and the Internet
I drove to Bel Air Presbyterian Church . I took Sunset straight down ...and its quite a ways.
Plus I got lost ...twice ...
I think the Mapquest directions were alittle old.
I was all confused because the online directions said from Sunset to make a right on Sepulveda - and it doesn't work.
From Sunset ... you have to go north on Church Street.... then make a left on Sepulveda.
I finally made it - and entire hour late.
The church inside is beautiful. And it was packed with people, standing room only.
I stood at the back. Someone finally left because the service was almost over - and I got to sit down.
After the church service, there was a meeting of their "Beacon" group.
This is the church group for people in the entertainment business.
Scott Fish from Freeze Frame Entertainment was the guest speaker, and I really enjoyed the topic.
He shared about his history being a Manager in the entertainment biz.
But he also touched on something I think I need to deal with .. Gossip.
I don't mean gossip about people whom you know, with other people who know them too.
I try my best not to get into that already.
But those Celebrity Gossip Magazines and websites ... oh, I can spend hours looking at those.
When the latest mishap occurs with some Celeb, I am picking up the latest tabloid at the Grocery store.
And lets face it - its really not news. Unless someone dies, or does something that lands them in jail - what purpose does it serve except to entertain at someone else's expense.
And in my opinion, it just seems to foster more bad behavior on the people who want the attention.
And alot of the time, those Gossip rags are just making it all up anyway.
Its not a very productive way to spend one's time. If I want to be entertained, there are other more positive ways to go about that.
For instance, I have been enjoying some of the Acting Groups that post their comedy skits on You Tube .
And there are some musicians that post "open mike nights" where you can see them perform.
I love the fact that the internet has made it possible that all these struggling actors and musicians, can just post a video and be seen by thousands of people.
