Alex: I just had a run in with Cruella De Vil’s sister. The Palisades is busy this morning. I start work at 8am and it just so happens to be the same time school starts. The streets are flooded with cars, kids, and parents. As I approach my building, someone is blocking the entrance of my parking structure. Now the cars behind me have to wait too and let me tell you the one directly ...
Sage What?
Alex: Remember that day we were working and the news crew was outside because your neighboring tenant died? And you lit sage and walked around your place? And I thought you were kind of a weirdo?

So Dumb.
Nik: The other day, I heard someone say ‘you can’t play a player’. I say…don’t need to. Players are insecure and they end up playing themselves. Like clockwork.

Here. Here’s A Job.
Text from Nik to Alex: My pilates instructor is looking for a part-time assistant. Monday and Tuesdays 8-5. $20/hr if you’re interested.
Alex: Yes!! I am! How do I go about securing that?
Nik: Call Noelle. Tell her I told you about the position. I don’t have the number. Google it.
Alex: Is there a time I should call?
Nik: I found the number (310-***-****). Call now because I just left her a message saying you’d be calling.
Alex: Thank you! Just left a message.
Text from Alex to Nik: I’m meeting with Noelle tomorrow at her studio!
Nik: I know. She called me and thanked me for recommending you and said that she trusts she’ll like you. Pretty sure the job is yours if you want it.
Alex: Should I bring a resume when I meet with her? And how dressy should I get?
I’m obsessed with… Hard Knocks (HBO)
Nik: If you’re not watching this show. Do. It’s inspirational and the cameras take you into the manly wonderment of an NFL locker room. Some quotes from the last episode…
“No man fears to do that which he knows he does well. If you know what the hell to do you should have no anxiety about getting it done. You should be relaxed and be able to do it and get it done. With everything chaotic around you, you outta be able to focus and get it done if you know what to do inside and out.” – Marvin Lewis (Bengals Head Coach)
“All you can really do is stay ready and stay hungry. As long as there is an opportunity I’m gonna keep on chasing.” – Aaron Maybin (after he got cut)
