1:42pm Really crispy Fish and Chips with Asian Slaw… Yummy! #

2:24pm Email from facilities manager: Yes, the toiler water is brown. It’s been reported and it has to do with the sewer work. It’s “normal”…. #

6:38p Work has sadly changed to feeling very corporate :( We were asked to take down stuff from the former studio wall… Goodbye Chris’ heads :( #

7:13p I think they’re filming something near our work, cuz there’s many hot rods revving thru the streets with a camera crew & bright lights… #
