Geez, I can't believe you're still reading this good-for-nothing blog!!!  Who does this girl Melissa think she is, not updating for a week?  Melissa thinks she's a very busy girl, that's who. 

Okay, enough of the third person bullshit.  Let me just start by saying I LOOOOVVVVVEEE my new job.  I don't think I've ever laughed so hard as I have these past two days in the room.  See, a couple of our writers came from the half hour world, one from The Simpsons, one from Will & Grace, and let me just say, these guys are brilliant.  I don't mean just them, but the whole room.  Another writer, for example, wrote my favorite episode of "Sex and the City" (aka the one where Charlotte's dog gets gang-banged - HIGH-larious).  Everyone plays off each other so well, and there's never a dull moment.

Second, I have never been so happy to be in L.A.  From the Hyatt in Century City, where I met Oscar Nom for dinner last night, to the lovely jaunt over the hill to Studio City, to our little bungalow with the pastel fish shower curtain that sits right across from the Passions set on the lot, I'm totally digging it.  Probably because I hadn't stayed in Kentucky for longer than a week in about four years.  I must have begun to take everything here for granted.  Well, no more, I say.  I've finally realized that L.A. is home, and I don't wanna leave.

Right now, though, I have to leave the blog, because I have a lovely night of television and ginger snaps awaiting me.
