It has been quite an insommnia filled week. Saturday night/ sunday morning is turning out to be about the same. I'm hoping I'll be awake enough to go surfing, the water will definately wake me up. It's a boiling 65 degrees and all I have is my rashguards and board shorts. It's getting to be around the time when I should invest in a wetsuit. My apartment is absolutley trashed. I gotta clean it up. I'm going to get a studio desk and put it against the wall so I can trash my kitchen table and open up the room. I have so much junk I have to throw away. I need to get some wall brackets so I can hang my boards on the wall and roof hooks so I can hang my bike. I really need to just sell it but I don't want to have to deal with shipping it or stuffing it my trunk to drive somewhere to meet up with a buyer.
I got to watch jimmy eat world play the other night while I was sitting in traffic. They were doing a free show in hollywood on hollywood and highland. Of course that's directly on my route home and the traffic is always at a stand still when something's going on. So that was pretty cool. I almost won tickets to go to this big party down at the Vault in LBC to hang out with Marilyn Manson on Halloween. That woulda been sick! But I was caller 19 and I needed to be caller 20. Assholes. I guess that's a cool thing about living in L.A. Since it's kind of the music capital, you get a lot of opportunities to see and meet bands you wouldn't normally get to see on street corners or in small club venues. Doesn't make up for all the pricks but it's a start.
So there's possibly some cool news in the works. It seems that Paul, a good buddy of mine, is finally nearing his deadline for moving out to L.A. So that'll be awesome when he gets out here. Finally someone cool to hang out with on a regular basis. Gonna have to get him surfing.
Let's see, what else... Oh yeah! I spilled a whole order of shrimp fried rice on my carpet. That one's going to smell nice in a week or so. I think I got most of it out but who knows. Shane and I are meeting up with a member of a band from warped tour that's looking to record so I'm hoping that goes well. The guy is cool as hell and happens to be my apartment manager when he's not on tour. Ok I think that's probably enough. MAHALO
