I Thought of Tomorrow, and I Wished it was Monday Evening

Tuesday Morning --> The Pogues

So that title only makes sense to me but it is also somewhat related to my project! Tomorrow I will begin the week long intensive session and Brain Highways. This morning I have been skyping and emailing back and forth with different people at BH, but we have a set plan although generally when we see the actual kids our plan has to change to meet their needs, but here's hoping.

Project wise this week hasn't been too busy, but I have been working on other things so it seemed incredibly busy. On the project front I've been gathering still more research! The main problem I've run into is that most of the research quotes known facts that everyone in the field understands but they often do not have specific research to back it up making my task much more difficult. I spent sometime in the USC library the other day and was able to find some articles but I'm probably going to have to keep digging.

On the more general front of things I've been doing, because they seem considerably cooler than doing research all the time, this week has had me all over LA. Most of the week I ran different errands for my Aunt's interior design company and I must say it's rather fun to get to just tour famous people's homes whenever you feel like it, and shopping for people without budgets is also a crazy wild good time. Last night my uncle took me to the Paul F Tompkins show, which I highly recommend to anyone in LA every show is different but it was amazing to say the least. In fact that's where I heard the song whose lyrics I used in the title. He ended the show by bringing out quite the colorful group of people: Ed Helms (Andy from The Office), Sara and Sean Watkins, Weird Al, and a bunch of comedians and singers who I didn't recognize but together singing and everyone playing an instrument made it quite the performance. Ed Helms decided they should call themselves the Fogues, so who knows they could make an encore performance at another PFT show. After the show I met a lot of the people who will be doing Curb so I'm very excited for the next two weeks.

So until then, hasta la vista!
