well i spent the past couple of days in LA and i'm pretty much bored out of my head. i know.. how can u be bored in LA right? traffic here is worse than i remembered it. a 10 mile trip should've only taken me 15 mins tops but ended up taking almost an hour. i hung out in chinatown yesterday and has some pretty good viet food. hella expensive tho.. ended up spending like $34 on lunch and carryout dinner. lolz. lots and lots of good bargains. had to really keep cool otherwise i'd end up buying everything. bought a paper and checked out rentals then went to a temp agency and got my name on the database. the hotel i'm staying in is pretty nice...Best Western Royale in Pasadena.. pretty high for a hotel.. $70 a night WITH AAA card. at least they have high speed internet (high speed meaning it was dsl.. slow ass one at that .. lol.) called up some old friends... everyone was busy so i was pretty much left by myself in the big city. gas here is so freakin high ... good thing i had an import car as a rental. been driving around just checking out the sites again. last time i was here was 3 years ago. alot has changed since then.

 i think LA is not the right place to move to. rent is high, gas is high, and traffic is horrible. might have to try Seattle next. well thats all i have for tonite. gonna fly back to Austin in the morning. man.. i really appreciate Austin after having a weekend like this. one small note... I'm really missing someone special right now. maybe thats why i'm having such a bad time here. ...take cares and have a good day everyone.
