Today was a good day
My brother is in town. Its nice when he's here. Its a sense of normalcy in a town that is otherwise foreign and chaotic.
The plan for today was for me to go get a new phone, and when I got back, Adam and I were going to go to the beach. Didn't happen. Why? Because for the first time in probably 6 months, it rained. It was overcast and cloudy. And then it rained. For like 15 minutes.
When I was able to finally leave the house, I went to ATT&T. See, I've been a 2nd line on my dad's plan for quite some time. He had a freakout session about 3 months ago wherein he decided that me being on his plan was no longer a good idea. The contract ended yesterday, so today I went and got on my own plan. I also got this phone. I called my dad from it to let him know that I was now on my own plan. They then put Madalyn on the phone. She said "Hi" :)
Adam and I then decided to do the touristy thing to do in LA. We went to Hollywood. We walked around and looked at the footprints and walk of fame. We then went to Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum. Not worth the $13. But cool nonetheless. And then I made him do the mundane things with me he is forced to do when he visits - we went to the grocery store.
So far I've tried two different Trader Joe's in my neighborhood. There is a clear winner. The Trader Joe's on Santa Monica Blvd. is far superior to the TJ's on 3rd street. Because the TJ's on 3rd didn't have what I needed, I went to the Ralph's across the street. I got what I needed and saw this person in the condiment aisle.
All in all, a good day.
