The LA Adventure!

And, as it happens, not all adventures go well for the protagonist. Or maybe I was the antagonist this time around, so I got my dues.

Friday was hitting a totally rad record store called Amoeba. I got approx. 1000 cds for 35 cents. Good cds too, Daft Punk, Mountain Goats, Air, etc. Too many to list. Then some dinner. Wait, no, there was no dinner. Only a late lunch. Also, no breakfast. Hrm... I sense trouble. Of course, I was also there, so I outta know.

Brian Tracy, the person I was visiting in LA, and I go to the Universal Walk. Watch some Invader Zim and head over to Howl at the Moon. A dueling piano bar. Important note here: I feel very lonely most of the time. Especially for a female friend. There were 3 dollar draughts of Bass Ale. I, uh, went a little overboard. Maybe. Okay, I'm aware I was hitting on a number of girls. Most of whom shut me down. Except for a 35 year old first grade teacher. All I have to say to that is, ahh crap. I sure hope Drunken Pat enjoyed that. At this point I would like to point out that I was not slapped or thrown in jail. Although Brian did think I should have received either. Well, maybe not jail time, but yeah.

MOVING ON!

Saturday was heading to Hollywood, being surprised how small it is. Hanging out at Venice Beach and being scared by the performers. One guy's line was, essentially, "give me money so I don't mug you and go back to jail." I suppose he's being honest, but, there has got to be a better way to convey your desire for other people's money. I hear change in a tin can works.

We caught a pretty bad NuMetal band that I have forgotten the name of, ate at both Denny's and Ihop in a 26 hour period and threw an extra trip to Denny's in Saturday night. All in all, a relaxing weekend after Brian dragged me out of Howl at the Moon.

Work continues to plod on and it is getting increasingly hot out here in Tuscon. Also! I will be getting an apartment out here in short order, so now people can come and visit me. I'll even help with the plane ticket. We can go hiking! Or roll in the dirt or something. We'll just have to see when you get here.
