running around...

like chickens with our heads cut off. That's how LA would look if some catastrophe blackout occurred.

What a day!

11am. To LA. Smooth sailing until the 10 past downtown when traffic just slowed down for no reason AT ALL. Hate that.
12pm. Picked up Joanne. Drove her to a few errands.
1pm. Lunch @ Clementine's. Delish. Like Urth Cafe but with a slightly different demographic of fancy yoga mom's in their yoga mom groups (a little annoying, but the food trumps).
2:20pm. CEC office. Key card access + the start of my 102931029 Waiver Pool forms, mass organization of films posters + free crapswag (a new word I am coining) while watching Netflix Instant: Made of Honor on the lovely 20" mac screen.
6:30pm. Walk back, park car, quick breather at the apt.
7pm. Make pickup rounds: Jenny, DLV, Joanne, then off to Sawtelle
7:30pm. Power outages everywhere. Substantial wait, then ate Asahi Ramen in darkness.
8:45pm. Walked to Sawtelle mini-mall, YL closed, power out, sadness. A trying drive back to Westwood among barbarian Los Angelenos. I realized that if a power outage of a larger area would ever occur, the world would end because people are crazy, impatient, and apparently revert to childlike rashness and incompetency (for the most part).
9:30pm. Finally back to apt.
10:30pm. Cool, evening walk to Westwood Yogurtland, then smiles to frowns. Rach and I were grumpy from the get-go. Firstly, the crowd: summer at UCLA is happenin' but rather annoying with 12-year-olds, 12-year-olds in cheer squad groups, belligerent foreignors, etc... Then a mix of these at the tiniest YL with a horrible layout with people who don't know what they're doing. Strange yogurt coming out of the machines, empty topping containers, no yogurt chips, tire-tasting mochi that apparently dissolved on pavement after ten minutes. We reserve the right to be this critical of YL since we are quite the loyal and frequent customers [YLC], t-shirts and all. Most likely boycotting the Westwood location.
11:40pm. Heading home. WTH freeways?! 710s closed, 60E left lanes closed, right lanes closed, left lanes closed, 7th exit closed...

Now. HBO On Demand and Costco fruit bars. Home sweet, sweet home.
Tomorrow will be an errand and O.C. day--my first beach bonfire, ever. I know, how sad.
