fun / hell
yesterday was both fun and hell. started off by heading out to pasadena to drop by dave’s birthday party… picked up skeely as we hadn’t seen him in awhile, and then we ended up driving john and tracy out as well, since there was a pub literally down the street that was having a belgian beer festival. unfortunately, it took us almost an hour and a half to get out there thanks to rain and typical LA traffic. not fun. it was great seeing dave and jen, wish they lived closer… jason, will, jon and steve as well… and the other random folks we’ve met before and we haven’t. hung out for awhile, had a few great beers, then picked up john and tracy and headed back… somehow they managed to drink A LOT of beer in the hour and a half, so it was a long and loud drive home 
dropped them off in hollywood, back to venice to drop off skeely and change, then back in the car and back to hollywood for dinner at some weird mediterranean place with belly dancers. another miserable rainy drive. really tired and sick of driving at this point… but lots of friends and a good time, in theory…. lots of friends, true, but a weird vibe at the dinner made it a bit of a letdown. oh well, can’t always be a great time out. belly dancers were funny, decent wine, a few good smoke conversations, and then another long rain drive home.
today, we’ve blown off all commitments, haven’t seen anyone, and holed up at home. i have a large bottle of wine and the sex and the city finale. yay.
