i'm in

So, I thought I'd join in on the blogger fun, too. Not like anyone would want to actually hear what I have to say, but I thought I'd procrastinate more and find something else other to do than to study.

I worked my two days of the week already and am not due back at work 'til Sunday. What do I do on my days off? Yesterday, I took a scenic tour on Mullholand Drive. The view from the 10th floor at the hospital is pretty nice. On one side, you can see Santa Monica and the ocean. You can see all the nice and expensive homes on the hills on the other side. I went up Laurel Canyon to Mulholland and down Beverly Glen. It was all very pretty, too cold to get out, just enjoying the drive. I drove this way only once before. On my first day as a PA, I was sent to Harry Hamlin's house, Lisa Rinna's husband to deliver something before his flight to Australia to shoot a movie. Rush hour LA, big maroon van, map in my lap and cell phone and walkie talkie going off the hook. "What's your ETA?" Next five minutes, "What's your ETA?" After all that, I get to his house as his limo is pullng out. I stop the car. He says, "Are you the one I've been waiting for?" I nod yes and apologize for the delay, hand him the suitcase and drive 1 1/2 hours home to Irvine. I would have been able to see his house if I had gotten there sooner.

I still didn't want to go home to study, so I drove more and ended up on Sunset going towards Pacific Palisades. Pretty homes there, too. JJ Abrams lives out there. So, of course I was a little bit of a stalker. I found their library and went to check it out. Small and nice, but not somewhere I could really study. Drove east to Brentwood and found their library. Two stories, but no real study area. Saw the Whole Foods and Starbucks Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck shop at. The last library I checked out was the one in Venice. Of the three, I'd probably go there.

Then, I went grocery shopping. Just an observation, but LA people are really impatient. What is the rush? If you just calm down, you'll get to where you're going and you won't pop an aneurysm. I was in line to pay and the lady infront of me had to have special attention. The lady behind me kept getting closer and closer saying, "What's going on here?" Repeat x2. You know when you can just feel the tension rise? I tried to act as a buffer and just smile. What are you going to do? Chill, lady.

Ended the day with Indian food with Cile, Rache and Pat. Cile showed me her sketchings for the short film they're creating. Made me smile.

I started a blog/diary entry a couple years ago, but like most things I got lazy. Here a link to it:
