1.) Jogged three miles.

2.) Showed up to work in a timely manner, even though my hair was wet.

3.) Made "the first good pot of coffee since we hired you," according to G-Money.  Whatever.  I'm here to trade information and mingle with celebrities, not bow at the foot of Folger's.  Or Starbucks, as is the case with us high rollers.

4.)  Finished brainstorming and outlining my character arcs for my O.C. rewrite.  One of our writing producers gave me some pretty awesome notes... the good thing about getting notes from a writer is that they not only give you criticism, but they also have very specific and brilliant suggestions for fixing the flaws.

5.)  Looked over the first draft of the short I wrote and emailed it to The Wise Man.  I've gotten to the point where I can't look at it with fresh eyes.  There's something both terrifying and comforting about that feeling, probably because you know it's out of your hands, if only for a short while.

And now I have to go give a former Daily Show correspondent a tour of the set.  If you're not busy tomorrow, drop on by 1635!  There'll be artichoke dip, there'll be Amaretto, and what party would be complete without a keg stand?
