Currently I'm working on a Television Studio lot in Studio City known as "CBS Radford." This is amazing for several reasons.

1. I am working again.
2. It's 2 miles from my apartment so I bike to work.
3. It's also where they shoot "Hot in Cleveland" starring Betty White.

That's right people. Now, I don't watch the show because I tried once and it sucked except for when Betty White was on, but even then she didn't have much to work with. However, they shoot the show every Friday night according to the security guys. It is my plan in the next few weeks to befriend Betty.

How will I do this, you ask? It's simple. First I will find where they shoot: CHECK. Then I'll find her dressing room: DONE AND DONE. Then I'll have one of my friends "mug" Betty and I'll show up and save her:

Me: "Hey You! Quit man handling Betty White!"
Insert awkward karate chop, the "mugger" falls to the floor.

Betty: "OMG. thank you so much!"
Me: "For being a friend?"
Betty: "Traveling down the road AND back again."
Me: "My heart is true. I'm a pal and a confidant."

Then we high five jump into a freeze frame.
End Credits

I don't see how this plan could go wrong.

Dear Mother Nature,

I know it's been awhile since I last wrote and as much as I don't want this to sound passive aggressive - could you maybe stop letting whatever blooms from like 10pm til midnight in the general LA area bloom? I know it's kinda vague but whatever it is that started to bloom like 2 weeks ago is killing me. I literally cannot breath at that time of night and it's not just outside my apartment, it spans all over from east LA to the west side.

You know I love you, I mean, I ride my bike to work. AND I take the trash out of the Green Bin that even states on it that it's NOT a trash can but my neighbors just can't seem to grasp that concept. So could you do me a solid? I'd really appreciate it, especially since I have to rely on this nasal spray in order to breathe at night and who knows what chemicals in there will give me cancer down the road. Because it claims it's "no drip" but let's be honest, there is some drip and the taste is not great. That might be TMI for you but I just want you to be aware of the gravity of the situation.

In summary, I like you but this is just too much right now.

Love,
Colleen

PS - Did you watch the Breaking Bad finale?! We gotta talk about it.
