I really feel like I had a good day today. I thought that I was going to hate being home alone for the weekend, but I'm really liking it...

Today, I went to a not-so-great taping today, but I had fun nonetheless. It's always the company I'm with who make it good. I was with Keith, Mario, Gail, & Kookee watching "Balderdash" for PAX Television. It made me think about the LS boys for some reason.

sidenote: It's odd how I take this whole LA culture thing for granted. I mean, I live in one of the greatest cities in the world. There's so much to experience here, yet sometimes I feel like a tourist in my own city. It's kinda sad really... Where ever you live, I urge everyone to soak up the local culture. There's always a lot to see and do if you just look.

ANYWAY...

I got home and I figured that maybe I'd finish my laundry. I was happy to notice that I had gotten rid of my piles of dirty clothes and formed them into towering stacks of clean clothes. I took a nap intending on going to Randy's tonight for a BBQ, but I settled on staying home for the night. After all, I'm home alone, I might as well enjoy the seclusion, right?

I decided to just go to a Starbucks on a whim. I found a lot of change while doing my laundry...so I figured I deserved a little treat. I needed some air anyway. I ended up strolling Brand Boulevard for a while sipping on my iced tea and thumbed through some graphic art books at Borders. After about an hour, I needed a change of scenery, so I headed off to the Barnes and Nobles on Glendale Avenue. I did exactly the same thing there... I continued to sip and skim. About 35 minutes later the store was about to close so I decided to head out.

When I got home, I popped the last load into the dryer and decided to make some dinner for myself. I thought it would be kind of nice to set up a candlelit table for myself to set a relaxing ambience. I had some Chicken pesto and made my own garlic bread and some herbed oil dip for the bread too. To top it off, I had a little White Zinfindel to take the edge off.

I actually enjoy this whole home alone deal...It's not often that I get to do it, but I'm feeling really productive and relaxed. I can do what I want...when I want. Of course, I was able to do that before...but it's nice not having to fight over things and have people test my patience here at home.

As much as I wanted to go out...I just felt the need to be alone tonight. I'm actually looking forward to making breakfast tomorrow. haha...and I don't even eat breakfast. I'm not up early enough.

So there you have it...I've been having a good weekend. Let's hope I can cover that shift tomorrow at work so I can make a little extra money for my Seattle fund. Anyone want to donate? haha. I kid. I kid.

Let's hope the rest of the weekend goes well...
