despite all the lights and action, i'm pretty mellow today, maybe too much for my own good.
_morrissey_ and i met
mariah_c, and the 3 of us are having dinner tonight, after we see the String Quartet Tribute to the Smiths. it will be one of our last celebratory moments before we leave. despite criticism, Mariah's really not that bad, or fake for that matter - she is a very sweet, charming and trustworthy lady (and yes, she looks even better in person). especially if you consider
minogue_k having performed with Justin Timberlake, which was utterly shocking to me.
the St. Patrick's Day Parade was immense but the real action was to be found indoors; i saw it when
_morrissey_ and i were on our way back to the hotel after visiting Transister Lounge. he taught me incredible new ways to dance and i shook my stuff with him and a few ladies *grin*
Mr. M and i went shopping in Melrose, i bought thousands of dollars in clothes - and bathingsuits! - but it was all worth it. i've acquired a nice tan at Venice Beach, and got to explore some art museums and eat at restaurants in Beverly Hills. my favorite place is the downtown area, though. i don't think i could ever tire of it.
anyway, i'm enjoying every second of my leisure time, and will also be grateful to be free next month, since i have summer concerts in Europe starting at the end of May going through July. and of course, in the romance department, i'm not writing as much as another person would let on - but i don't mind if Mr. M does (he IS the spicy one, after all).
