CPK, Cats, and Trolleys

Yesterday was Presidents day so that meant no classes WOOHOO. I picked up my BFF at 2pm and we went to Michaels to buy some frames and then we watched the movie Nine. I was looking forward to watching Nine but it was a disappointment. Then we went to go grab some food. It took us forever to decide what we want but we decided on California Pizza Kitchen. We ordered the food online and we each got a salad. We also bought the shrimp rolls and the hummus. We did the curbside pickup and were about 25 mins late, we were worried they would throw out our food but they didn’t. We ended up spending about $47 plus tip. Really it wasn’t worth it. The salads were great! But the appetizer weren’t worth the $7 and $9 we spent on them.
We then watched Two and a Half men, and it was the episode were Charlie runs over a black and white cat which he thinks is his fiancés cat that has been missing. Turns out it wasn’t but she does have a cat just like the one he hit. After we watched the show we decided to drive around, it was about 10pm. We were driving and a black and white cat just like the one on the show ran in front of my car literally a foot away from the front of my car, I had to slam on my breaks to avoid hitting it. I had to pull over just so I could calm down. I always fear I will someday hit an animal and I honestly think I would feel worse about hitting an animal than a person.
After that we drove to another city and spotted a place with an old trolley. We tried to take a picture of it but it was way too dark and it wasn’t in the best area so we couldn’t stay long. There were a lot of guys walking around just staring at us so we decided to leave. Like 20 mins later I took my friend home and that was the end of my day. Nothing to eventful happened but that damn cat sure got my heat racing.

Flowers

Yesterday I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. One of my best guy friends wanted to meet up for lunch with a few of our friends. When we arrived at lunch he had flowers for all the girls. It was a very nice lunch at one of the local diners. The place isn’t anything fancy but they have some of the best food. It’s funny how you can get a great meal at a local place for $6 but having the same meal in the center of Los Angeles will cost me $20.
After we ate we all went our separate ways and I went home to work on a art project. Its taking me longer than I expected because the drying time between each step is pretty long, but hopefully I will finish it today. I also tried to make pesto pasta last night. It didn’t turn out like I wanted so I threw in an avocado and some mayo, it really turned out good after that. I spent the rest of the night just watching movies, I had to go to bed early because I was supposed to have breakfast with my mom and grandparents today, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.

A lazy day

Yesterday got off to a pretty crappy start. I woke up at 5:30am to the sound of my dad getting ready for work and my brother banging on my door asking to borrow my phone charger because he left his at his girlfriend’s house. I tried to fall back asleep but it took a good hour of playing Tetris on my Droid to finally knock me back out. I finally woke up at sometime after 10am, and so started a very uneventful day.
I should have worked on several study guides I have for my abnormal psych class but I didn’t feel like it. I was going to go do some shopping but it was raining pretty hard and I hate driving when it is pouring rain. It rarely rains in SoCal and when it does people either love it or they hate it. I love the rain, always have. What I hate is how some people drive like lunatics when it rains. You would think they would be more careful since the streets are wet and you can’t see very well but nope, I guess some people are adrenaline junkies.
I spent pretty much the whole day watching Law and Order: Criminal Intent. I have to say I was really bummed when I found out Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe will be leaving the show, they are the only reason I watched. I also read today that Christopher Meloni will be leaving Law and Order SVU. I can’t imagine the show without him.
The only thing I did today was cook dinner. I made teriyaki salmon with vegetable stir fry. Ever since my parents split I am the one who cooks dinner for my dad, brother and myself. It took a long time for me to get the hang of cooking but I think I have finally got the basics down.
I also decided to keep this blog anonymous. I know this will probably never be read by more than a handful of people, but I still feel more comfortable knowing even if someone I know reads this they won’t know it’s me. Unless of course they are able to put together all the small facts I write here.
