Last time I wrote on my blog was Thursday. I can't remember what else I did that day. I guess it wasn't that important!
On Friday I had to take my Dad to the DMV to re-register his car to his name. I had to wake up at 7am. All I wanted was to sleep in a little bit. I came back home and I went on with my typical morning. Go online, check email, check my RSS reader, facebook and other miscellaneous things. I totally forgot what time it was, I felt I had been awake forever, but Dave messages me. In my head I thought he would already be at work, but then I look at the time and notice it's only 9:37am. I was also thinking he should be leaving for work, but I had forgotten he said he was going to get a haircut. Yay, for less hair, at least on him. I'm trying to grow my hair. It will take a while for that. From Dave's calculations, he said it would take 3 years. We'll see how long my hair will be at the end of this year.
So today I also decided to hang out with Clifford. I went over to his place at 1pm. I texted him when I got there. I waited a minute or two but then decided I should call him. He came out and opened his gate and I went inside his house. We were watching some funny show at his place when he got a text telling him, that I was here. I sent this message 30 minutes earlier and he just getting it now? If I didn't call his phone when I did, I would have bee waiting for a little bit. Good thing I decided I should just called him instead of waiting for him to get a text. After we finished watching his show, we put on a movie. We watched "The Boy in Stripped Pajamas." I really like this movie, it has a good story, amazing shots and the relationship between the boy characters is cute. What I really like about this movie, is the director didn't even create storyboards for the film. He filmed everything in order to get it just right. That's is an amazing feet. To be able to do that with no visual on paper is incredible. After the movie Cliff was hungry. Or at least he wanted to get something. So we left and went to Starbucks. I had my ipod with me and I forced him to listen to My Little Pony music. Haha. It was the Gorillas music track mixed with pony music. It's very addicting... so I wanted to share it with him. His expression to the music was priceless. I kept laughing at his reactions. That went for 20 minutes. Not all at once. When we got to Starbucks, I saw there was a frozen yogurt place right next to it. So I decided I would get some of that instead. I got the flavor, Cherry Amaretto. It was so delicious. I wish I had more! After Cliff got his Starbucks, he still wanted food. So we went to In-n-Out. He got a burger and I just enjoyed my frozen healthy yogurt. Haha. After he finished eating his burger we went and looked around the Michael's that was in the plaza. We hung out for a bit looking at stuff. Cliff wondered what other places we could go look at, so I suggested the Aaron Brothers in Burbank. So we decide to go there only after he went home and got his sweater. It was starting to get cold. I waited for him to get his stuff. While I waited I ran to my car and got my jacket in case it got colder.
We go to Aaron Brothers in Burbank and spend some time looking at more art things. Cliff ended up getting a few things, drawing pads, and a few thousand pencils! He did get a few different kinds of pencils... but not thousands. Haha. We were starting to get hungry so after Cliff finished his little art shopping we went to get food. At this time I was starting to count just how many hours Clifford and I have been hanging out. At this point it was 5-6 hours. But since we needed food, we both got Japanese food. After we finished eating, I felt my phone vibrating. I checked my bag, picked up my celly and saw that it was David calling me. By the time I got my phone it was already a missed call. So I called him back. He wanted to know where I was and if I wanted him to come get me. Well I was hanging with Cliff so I couldn't just leave. So I told him that and he just said to call him later when I get home. After that, we decided to keep looking at other stores. So went to Best Buy. We looked around the stores to see if there was anything interesting. We left and started to leave the parking lot, but then Cliff decided he wanted to go to another store, Sports Authority. He wanted to look at bicycles. I saw some awesome bicycling gloves which I want to buy in the future, when I have money. So afterward we finally left and took the 5 N to go up to his place. We noticed the that one of the exits he usually gets off at was closed due to construction, so we had to get of the next exit. We ended up getting lost because we didn't know the area. We went around in circles but eventually found our way back to Panorama City. I relaxed for a bit at Cliffs place. I felt after 10pm. When I got home I called Dave and left him a message telling him I was home. He then later came over and picked me up. I left and I stayed over at his place.
Ahh... so many details. I'm tired or typing. But there is still more to tell! So... I will keep going.
Yesterday Saturday, I got up at 7am to watch the new episode of My Little Pony. I watched most of it. I kept dozing off for some minutes. But did watch the ending. Haha. I will have to re-watch the episode to see what I missed. Afterwards, I ended up just falling asleep in Dave's couch. I was so comfy, I didn't want to move from the warm spot. I woke up later on and it was now 9am. I went back to the bedroom and Dave was already awake. My head was hurting a little bit, so I ended up falling asleep again for another hour and a half. We both woke up and finally got ready and left to go to the Chinatown New Year. We drove towards the festival as fast as we could. We were both hungry and hadn't eaten a thing! We parked in downtown and walked to Chinatown. There was so much traffic in downtown because of road closures. We got a good parking lot where the cost was only $5 dollars. Cheapest parking price ever! haha We walked a good distance and it was nice to do that. We go have some fun and at the same time we walked and got some exercise. There were so many people there. We got stuck in the crowd, but when we could we went around to avoid them. We wanted to eat, and were looking for the food trucks but we ended up on the opposite side of the street. So we had to cross while the parade was at a stop. We managed to cross while, The Batman Car, The Mystery Machine were sitting around and people were taking pictures of them. We finally got to the food trucks and got food. Dave got some crepes and I got an sandwich. The name of the sandwich was The Holy Aioli. It was so yummy. The flavors were not overpowering. I could taste all the yummy goodness. I couldn't finish the sandwich to I'm glad I had a bag to take the leftover with me. There was a truck with shaved ice... so we both decided to get one. I haven't had one in a while. Last time I did it was in 2009. It was so good. Thinking about it right now, makes me want more. I need to find a place or something. But anyways, after that we spent some time looking around at stores. We started heading back to the car at around 4ish. I had tickets to go see a show at Flappers. I invited a few people, but only Marcelo, Carlos and his girlfriend Carol came. I was glad I was able to have some people come and enjoy a comedy show. So we went to the show and the show was pretty good. But the service turned out horrible. The server who was supposed to be in that night called of, so Flappers had someone else who had no idea what he was doing working the night. I needed food because the server forgot to bring me my food. So we ended up going to Johnny Rockets and I got Chili Cheese Fries. Carlos and his gf left because she needed to get up early to go to work. Marcelo stayed and had some food with me. We ate and talked for a bit. Afterwards we both went our ways. Marcelo was on his way to a party. Dave and I went to his place to relax. We watched an old SNL show. Afterwards we went to sleep.
We woke up early today. I wanted to be home around 9:15am. I had a class to get to. I went to the class... and then came back home. I ate my leftovers and afterwards I took a short nap. Not much today... but I been at home and just letting Dave do his things. Gonna go over to his place later...
That's it for today...
