On the way in this morning, everybody was ducking/dodging something in the road; as I get up close, move over and get ready to dodge… There is a student driver!
That poor sucker was doing 55 and everybody else was doing 80… He was up on that wheel like a NASCAR veteran and the instructor was kinda crouched down like he was expecting them to get hit any minute…
The cat herding is going about as well as can be expected, minor changes have cause major perturbations with the cats, but at this point I am expecting nothing less… sigh…
I also screwed up, forgot what day it is, and missed going to the California NASCAR race at Pomona. What’s even worse, I had a %$^&* free ticket… (pardon me while I go bang head against wall)
AND it’s Oscar night in LA, so all the industry people are in town, some staying at the same hotel I’m at. How do I know this, you ask? Well, when I come back and see NINE extended limos in the parking area near the lobby, and bunches of people in Tuxes and designer dresses. A couple I “think” I recognize, including one older woman with a 20 something boy toy in slavish attendance…
That means there is no way in hell I’m going anywhere near down town tonight!
In the insult to injury category- My work computer (which is the only one I brought) decided to die last night, so among other things, I had to go buy a computer today… Since Circus City is going out of business, I thought I might get lucky, but Noooo. That place looked like scavengers had attacked it!!! There was not a single thing left I would have paid money for…
Anyhoo, I’m sitting here trying to reconfigure a computer, download updates, and salvage address books, in addition to getting work going. Guess this is gonna be a room service salad night…. sigh…
I think you earned the room service cheeseburger. 🙂
Hope your week gets better.
Cheeseburger!!
Ha! If it’s room service go for a kC strip (hope it’s on the company tab…)!
nah, skip the room service … go out and see if you can get picked up as a toy boy too 🙂
Seriously, i’ld be avoiding that sort of hype as well – enjoy the salad!
your blog is so good……
I can’t drive 55!!!! I watched the race… would have been something if Bush had won all three races! Had to laugh at the weather reports at the beginning of the race, NO RAIN in the forecast… I’ve never been to LA and probably never will… large cities are not my favorite place to visit. You can always get Chinese food delivered? Just how good is that room service food?
RT/Crucis/Julie- I got fed up, a friend who works at CBS called, so I met him at TV city and we went to a Johnny Rockets for burgers!!! And yes, it was a Cheeseburger 🙂
FF- Neither can I 🙂 It’s been raining out here off and on all week, including today BEFORE the race…
Other than in Chinatown, the chinese food sucks! Room service is pretty good- but I’m not paying $45 for a steak!
It sounds like you are in hell. Get out of there soon as possible.
well by Nov. we should have some home raised grass fed steaks as we held back a couple of steers this year , and i promise not to charge ya $45 for your entire stay much less for a dammed steak or two lol .
ADM- well it IS LA!!!
Farmdad- Thanks 🙂
My husband went to CurcuitCity on Sunday, too. He said that the lights were barely turned on. It was like walking into a bat cave.
Elm- They had sold the bats too! At least at the one I went in… Thanks for stopping by.
