Something is happening. It's so hot at 8:00 in the morning, and I walk to work inside a constantly exploding nuclear fireball while nursing an inexplicable anger toward things like pedestrians sharing my sidewalk. I get to the office and know that whatever my mood is then, it's only gonna get worse over the next nine hours. I wade home through a sea of crackheads and tourists while the sun burns in my eyes and the first little tugs of sleep sneak up through my legs. The sun melts my eyeballs, and before I get home, I hope it's not as hot inside as it is out there, because homegirl just needs a minute to think. Then I always find out it's hotter.
I'm all tired and jittery at night when I'm supposed to relax and don't know what to do with myself. Something is happening, people, and I think it's that this city is making me angry. What am I supposed to do with that? It makes me so tired to be angry. I have stuff to do! FUCK YOU, BEING TIRED! *zzzzzzz*
Luckily, Elaine came to visit and we had ourselves a crazy ol' time. Those four days had nothing to do with angry. Experience:
Keepin' it metal on Manhattan Beach
Giving the sky a brisk slap for being so pretty
Daring you to tell us gettin wasted at three pm AIN'T some kinda neat
The trick is to take out a quarter of the vodka, then fill the rest up with Skittles, then make a face as awesome as this one when you drink it.
HARK, A LAD
The totally rad floor decal at my office
And lo, there issued a *FAP* heard 'round the world
R2D2 - HIMSELF
C-3PO - ANTHONY DANIELS
DARTH VADER - HIMSELF
Elaine and Eric went to Runyan Canyon while I boiled in anger soup at work. There's no way to make that sound not bitter I guess. Except, they had an awesome time! Hooray!
Eric captures some hot beaches
what is a ghost's favorite ride
Atop the 'wheel
Elaine was later found on the ocean floor wearing a pair of cement boots
So that's that. Oh hey, I've got three weeks of unemployment coming up, and I'm looking forward to those three weeks like a whore waits for sunrise! There is going to be so much tourism going on. Did you know I never did any of that here? Elaine and Eric saw more of L.A. in two days than I have in a month! That's cray-zay. Plus, there's so much reading, personal projects, sleeping 'till noon, and not being angry to be doing so hard.
FUCK, I'M SO EXCIT-- *zzzzzz*

sweet I made it onto a blog! My parents will be so proud! David, though you kept your anger down quite well with snippets of Chris Klein and Killer drag queens and Green Wing, from the outside it looks like you have a great start in LA even if the job does suck most of the time. You've always got your peeps in Seattle if you're tired of all those tourists too. You better have devoured what I put in your freezer and again so glad I got to visit you!
If I knew what show you worked on, I could share your anger EVEN HARDER.
Shut up, nudists. And the furries they rode in on.
