Yay! Kelly got my letter!
I wasn't sure she'd get it with the 37 1 cent stamps across the front. So anyway, yesterday we went to Hollywood to see the photographer we're interested in, Kevyn Major Howard. I still really love his work, and he wants to shoot Ari as Jesus. lets see, in other news, Lorne, Ari's dad, is being an ass about it all, in the past he's promised to pay for Ari's headshots, and while no one expects him to now, he's being a pain in the ass about it because he thinks the photographer we chose is too expensive. Yes he's expensive, but his work also REALLY stands out, and that's what you need in a headshot. He keeps sending Ari lists of cheaper headshot photographers, but he really doesn't seem to grasp how important the quality is. So anyway, we went to the consultation, talked to the photographer, talked to the photographer's staff, talked to the photographer's clients, talked to the photographers friends... didn't talk to the photographer's neighbors but come on :-p
Nah, we were sold on his work before we ever came to the studio.
So anyway, we did that, then wandered around LA for a bit. Ate at Pat and Oscars. We decided to make the drive to Brentwood and try to find Ari's old house, which we did, that was cool, it was Ari's old neighbor's birthday so we went over to the house to say hi and happy birthday. At first Ari stood in the kitchen until he was asked if he was hired help. Ari was like "No, I used to live next door." and before he could finish the sentence the shout went up of "OH MY GOD! ARI!!!" That was great. Then we headed back, got lost somewhere in LA for a bit, found our way back after some bad directions. Went back to David's house because David and Reble were going out for the night and Ari had promised to babysit. David, who's the psychologist at El Toro High, wants me to go to Silvy's psychologist the first day of school with all sorts of cooked up suicidal tendencies and voices and possession problems. I guess this is how psychologists prank each other. I probably will just for lack of any other amusement. So David and Reble left, went to see the 40 Year Old Virgin, which I thought looked awful, but that's not the point, they needed some kidless time together. They put Jordan to bed before they left, and Ari and Darien and I watched Shark Tale before Ari put Darien to bed. Darien had a fish fixation last night. wanted to watch Shark Tale, The stories she picked out at bedtime both had to do with fish. One of them was a shortened variation on the Grimms' fairy tale The Fisherman and his Wife. Then I came home, read a little while, went to bed. Mom called me early this morning like "Oh I can't believe I slept to 9:30!" and I'm like "Yeah so why are you telling me?" especially because I was still asleep and she woke me up which is always annoying. Oh, also, Ari got a job as a knife salesman. How fitting.
