Its not every day....
Friday, January 18, 2008
Its not every day that you almost get run over by a Lotus (see above). A Lotus that's driven by a 30 year old blonde bombshell who no doubt has a 60 year old boyfriend or husband. But yesterday was not everyday. Yesterday was in Santa Monica. And it was gorgeous. And I loved it.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
I flew into LAX on Tuesday and had the privilege of hanging out with two of my favorite friends (see below). There was a quick trip to Laguna for a gorgeous sunset and overpriced, watered-down cocktails. So watered-down, in fact, that the picture shown below is just a bad picture of me, not a drunken picture of me. Shane and Nicole managed to look good, but for some reason I look about half baked. C'est la vie.
Anywho, after the overpriced cocktails and the cranky waitress, we went back to Shane & Nicole's place, where she made a badass gourmet pizza to accompany better cocktails, a bottle of wine, and the first night of American Idol auditions. That train wreck is still entertaining. Period.
On Wednesday I traveled all across the Los Angeles Basin with my client and did what I was ACTUALLY out there to do :-). Followed by dinner with Shane & Nicole, more wine, and the second night of American Idol auditions. Yes, we are apparently pop-culture-whores/lemmings who wouldn't dream of missing Idol. And we're apparently good with that. Woot. A fantabulous time was had by all and it was really good to hang out.
Yesterday I met up with Tim, a high school buddy that I haven't seen for seven or eight years. He lives in Hollywood, has a SAG card and an IMDB profile, and is going to be my first famous friend. How badass is that? We met up at the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, which is where the hot chick in the Lotus thought it was more important to gab into her cell phone (probably about the previous evening's American Idol episode) than it was to notice I was crossing the street. Fortunately, I'm a quick little shit and saved myself from certain destruction. Then Tim and I walked around for an hour or so chatting and drinking coffee before I headed back to LAX, and ultimately home.
Tomorrow we're going to High School Musical at The Orpheum. I'm only marginally interested, but Tim is psyched, and I never pass up the opportunity to dress cute in public.
