Eric my new roommate moved in today. I want to thank whoever is up there watching over me, I can't begin to explain how lucky I have been in my internet arrangements. Dates, friends, roommates, jobs, vacations, and etc all done over the internet. Anywho Eric seems pretty cool, for a Texan...

 

Mom would be proud. After a year, two months and 23 days I met two of my neighbors today. Celine and her dog Daisy are three doors down, and Russ and his dog Mayor are two doors down. They are both very cool people. I guess shouldn't have listened to my old roommate who thought everyone was weird, unless you are from Long Island.

 

Last week I went to Vegas and Death Valley for a shoot for Harpers Bazaar. The last night we were in Vegas, and we arrive at the Las Vegas Hilton. We're sitting there, ten of us, waiting for the producer to check us in. The registration lady randomly hands us keys as she takes our ID cards. Room 2937 Central Tower is what my key said. So I grabbed my five bags (Two, and make way towards the elevator trying to keep my eyes off the billions of flashing lights and slot machines. I step into the elevator with Paul, the first assistant, he's on the 28th floor, the 29th is the top floor. He tells me to order whatever I want, from room service or what have you and it would be covered, and that he would catch up with me later and we'd go hit a casino somewhere.

 

"Cool" I say, and push the 29 button.

 

 

I step onto dark polished hardwood floors, look around, and the first thing through my mind is, "This must be a mistake."

 

My room was the penthouse tower suite with a living room, dining room, full bar, two bathrooms, two balconies (one on each side of the hotel), his and her sinks, jacuzzi, king sized bed, two TV's, two walk in closets, a safe, two writing tables... it was insane. I mean my living room had a horse statue on the table. I wasn't sure wether to tell the producer a mistake had been made or to jump in the shower. Then I collected my wits, dropped my bags, grabbed the embroidered terry-cloth robe from the closet, ordered some room service and jumped in the shower.

 

I had an absolutely spectacular time. I logged mega OT, everything was paid for; my mom even proclaimed I was the first person in our immediate family to arrive at an airport and have one of the limo driver guys holding a sign that had my name on it.
