I’m dead tired as I write this, at midnight on Monday.

I’ve been spending a great deal of time at Max Brenner over the past week — in fact, there’s only one day in the past seven where I haven’t been inside that building. I’ll say this much about it — the food is fantastic, the drinks are great, and the desserts are to-die-for. We’ve been busy as hell during this friends & family week, between relatives of the higher-ups and investors and such, and if the “buzz” around the area is any indication, we’re going to be doing a hell of a lot of business once we open.

I encourage everybody to stop by, starting this Thursday, to get some chocolate. It may well be the best chocolate you’ve ever had in your entire life (this is NOT a sales pitch, yet a FYI from a self-diagnosed chocoholic).

Working there has been fun. Although I think the place suffers from a lack of streamlining, it’s in far better shape than Hard Rock was at this point last year. I actually enjoy my job, which is not-all-too-common in America, and since I know the employees enjoy working there, you’ll enjoy eating there.

To say that I like my job isn’t to say that I’m not dead tired. I’m not looking forward to working tomorrow morning and following that up with a round of school for five hours (followed by a rehearsal). Speaking of school, I’m chronicling my journey through the third year at AADA at A Year At The Academy (*Shameless plug, huh?*). Check it out.

I’m surprised I’m not a bit more frustrated that I haven’t had much downtime this weekend (I wanted to see “Clerks 2″ and AT LEAST catch tonight’s “Entourage”)… but maybe that’s because I’m calming my nerves with episodes of “Lost”… frantically trying to catch up so I can play along with the Lost Experience (which I think is the coolest thing to happen towards marrying TV to the internet).

So, yeah, I wish I had something more worthwhile to blog about… but I didn’t want this to be a one line entry that read:

“I’m tired.”

Well, that’s all for now. Good night, folks!
