Happy Friday Indeed!

So I've been under the weather for the last couple of days, and I can now only blame the fact that I no longer work in retail. No longer exposed to all the germs of the common public, forced to build up immunity to everything that walked in off the street.

So that's the one and only downfall of not working retail (at least that I have uncovered in the 4+ months i have worked here..... plus the lack of discount...)

But the universe made it up to me today. Today, my boss had a meeting scheduled with Joaquin Phoenix. I was barely nervous about it until he walked in the door, then I got all tongue-tied... His mom was with him and she introduced herself - as I had spoken with her on the phone many times... Then I looked at Joaquin, and didn't know what to say. I opened my mouth, not knowing what would come out, and he looked at me and said in a quiet voice, "Calm down. Don't be nervous." and then he reached over for what I thought was going to be a handshake, when he touched my ear and admired my earring.

Yes, that's right, HE TOUCHED MY FREAKING EAR!

So I'll be sniffly for a few days, riding high off of my most recent celebrity encounter.

Then tonight we are going to see Neko Case at a little theater in Hollywood, and tomorrow we're seeing Fiona Apple at the Greek.

I think a little cold is a fair trade-off....
