Huge. Huge. HUGE fan of “intertainers” Rhett & Link, who will be appearing on George Lopez’s show Tuesday eve.  In the interim, I highly recommend you check out their website & some of their videos. They have more comedic talent in their skinny ties than most SNL writers do in their entire Converse collection.

ICM’s George Ruiz with three of his clients - Felicia Day, Brigitte Dale, and me at the 2nd Annual Streamy Awards.  Felicia is a Streamy winner (best actress for her brilliant series, The Guild) and Brigitte was nominated for best Vlogger (and really, she’s beyond entertaining. You can’t NOT fall in love with her). I just tag along and hope they don’t throw me out.  :)

Although I steamed it prior to the event, I still had drive for thirty minutes to get to the theatre - and the dress wrinkled like CRAZY.  Grrr

Backstage, about to present Best Branded Web Series! I’m nervous, even though I only have like, three lines. How do actors DO this???

Finished product, after an hour and a half of hair & makeup - by a woman who does Maxim photoshoots (ha!) I didn’t plan that, but I can’t say I’m complaining!

Retail therapy at my favorite non-New York store, Nordstrom. Two pairs of very reasonably priced Steve Madden platforms are coming home with me.

Finished my hour-long hike in Runyon, now at Lulu’s Cafe to meet my best friend from high school, Via, for brunch. God I love brunch. Is there a more perfect meal?

“The Wellness Shot” - at Earth Bar on Santa Monica. I asked them what I could do to “detox” from all the sugar (cupcakes!) I consumed yesterday - and this was their solution. “It’s intense,” the guy said. Um. I’m scared.

Megan and I have been staying at this little boutique hotel in West Hollywood called Petit Ermitage, a stellar recommendation of my ex Alex (who is VERY picky when it comes to hotels) … And now I’m off to hike Runyon Canyon for the first time this trip (I had planned to hike “EVERY MORNING” … yeah, that didn’t happen. Ha!)

What I Did Today (ish)

My laptop battery is running out of juice, and my brain is mush from 8 hours of meetings, but here’s the quick rundown of my day:

9 am - woke, shower, green juice, talked with Megan about plan for the day

10:30 am - on time to meeting at my management company, The Collective, in Beverly Hills, with my manager and altogether favorite human being, Steven Grossman, as well as two of his colleagues. The focus of the meeting was the development of a scripted tv show, on a subject dear to my heart, of which I would be the creator.  An incredibly entertaining brainstorming session ensued, like something out of a movie. Guy #1: “I see the main character moving to San Francisco … ” Guy #2: “Yeah! And then she meets an Indian billionaire, and then the billionaire’s family hates her!” Guy #1: “But what does she do?  She creates an alternative identity!  Like Batman!”  Like Batman, indeed.  Dear god, I hope this show happens.  HA

12 pm - We hike over to West Hollywood for a chat with the lovely SVP Julia over at the production company Relativity Real.  She’s a doll, from Ft. Worth, Texas, and we talk about our love lives for a solid half hour before we even get around to business (that’s my kind of meeting!!)  It turns out they have a show on a particular network I like VERY much for which they are considering me as a host.  We talk about my career goals and how they might work in conjunction with this particular show, and I leave more psyched than I’ve been in a LONG time about any project.

2 pm - Emergency breakfast burrito pit stop at Kings Road Cafe with a detour thereafter to Yogurt Land.  Yes.  I actually visited a place called YOGURT LAND.  I am ashamed of myself as well.  But!  It was delicious.  So.  There you go.

3 pm - Meeting over near Sunset with two fantastic execs at Merv Griffin Entertainment, another stellar production company.  They also had a fun show in mind they wanted to discuss with me (in a hosting capacity).  Loved them and their attitude, and walked out at 4:15 ish …

4:30 pm - Back to ICM! This time we were meeting with two entirely different agents - Karen and April (who was, btw, born in December! What the WHAT?!), both of whom work in global branding.  This means we were discussing what sorts of brand partnerships I might be working on in the future - goals, strategies, the market, etc.  Lots of opportunities here.  Very exciting.  In other words: Yay.com.

5:45 pm - Although my main ICM agent, George, had invited us to the premiere of his client Kevin Pollack’s new venture, Megan and I could barely form coherent sentences, so we opted to skip it in favor of bonding with our laptops back at the hotel, and … yes … more Sprinkles cupcakes.  I know, I know, but I promise, it’s my last Sprinkles visit this trip!!

It’s strange … I am literally about to collapse - but had I been sitting at my desk writing from 9 am to 6 pm, I can guarantee I wouldn’t feel this drained.  What is it about meetings that just sucks the life out of you???  Am I the only one who feels this way?
