Pardon my "this is how my day went" moment, but I had such a super day.

I had a marathon news meeting where I actually learned quite a bit about our company's marketing side, worked on a press release rewrite and did research fot a story until lunch, which was free to celebrate Sandy's departure. Lunch was two hours long, bi-atch! Then I came back and worked on my main story: a study by the Screen Actors Guild that shows Latinos are consistently stereotyped in Hollywood and that the entertainment industry is missing out by not targeting Latinos as a substantial consumer group. Four people called me back at the same time, someone from SAG, someone from AFTRA (a SAG - like org), someone from a Latino Arts Council and someone from HOLA actually sent me a list of Latino actors and their numbers so I could get quotes from them! Kick-ass.

So, super day at work...then Hara came over and we kicked it (you know...me) before heading to Tunes for some CD shopping. Um, why haven't I ever been to this place before??? Conveniently located on Church Street in downtown New Brunswick, Tunes offers kick-ass, dirt-cheap prices on new and used CDs. So, I bought BBMak, which is really suprisingly good, the whole CD, Elliott Smith's new one, and my first Sleater-Kinney CD. I haven't listened to the last two yet...

Anyway, after CDs was dinner at Harvest Moon with most of the "young" co-workers. That was fun times. But Mr. Under-21 had to skip out on the real celebrating...

So, I am feeling very emotional right now but I'm not about to go there...

Goodnight you beautiful internet people.
