2011: Let's get this party started...

Well, it's the beginning of a new year, and time for me to start blogging about it.  It's been a good start so far.  Here are some details:

• I finally got a bed!  Thanks to my roommate's co-worker, I received a free twin-size mattress and box spring set...the only caveat was the drive to Pomona to pick it up.  Thankfully, I have a friend with an SUV, and the bed has now been slept on for at least a week.  I couldn't be happier.

• Even though my job at Universal Studios has become a one-day-a-week schedule (if I'm lucky), I have managed to subsidize my income with some freelance game software work.  Thanks to my customers...you know who you are.

• I was invited to a movie fundraiser screening earlier this week.  The film: "Come On Down: The Road To 'The Price is Right'".  It's a documentary outlining the lives of fans-turned-contestants and their experiences on the show.  Also featured in the doc are former staffers, including original Producers Jay Wolpert and Roger Dobkowitz.  The upside?  I got to see Roger and his family at the screening!  Thank you, Randy West, for the invite.

• I will finally get to experience the fun that is Jason's Super Bowl party in Chino in a few weeks.  I've heard so many stories from past parties, and now I finally get to go to one and see it for myself.

So far, 2011 has been a great year.  Let's hope the rest of it turns out just as good.

Finally, for those interested, I am planning a trip back to the Mid-Ohio Valley at the end of April.  So, if you're in Marietta, Parkersburg, Vienna, Williamstown, Belpre, Athens, or any surrounding areas, and want to hang out, let me know.
