LANDING THE EAGLE

I woke up pretty late today, around 11:30AM>  I felt so tired from last night, even though I didn't do a single thing.  I wonder if it was all that dessert or if it was the starvation I felt I went through before finally eating dinner last night?

I cooked a steak and had kim-chi with it for lunch.  Then I spent some time watching tv, waiting for Shirl to call me when she was ready.  She finally did, around 2PM and that's when Andy, my Westside connect, finally texted me back to let me know I could do the landing anytime between 2 and 9PM.

So after getting some money at the bank, I picked-up Shirl and we headed to LA.  Little did I know there would be so much traffic.  I mean, I know it's raining and everything, but give me a break.

We finally made it to the Beverly Center, and the eagle landed.  We went inside to take a pee break, but Shirley found a make-up store that she needed things from.  We left the Beverly Center, then went to the Griffith Observatory.  Shirl had not been there for a very long time, and I was happy to take her there because I love the view and the free science stuff.

Afterward, we headed to Thai town and did a little eating and shopping.  Shirl was looking for a specific appetizer, so we stopped by Suam Luong to see if they had it.  They didn't, so instead, we had some fried fish cakes.  They were good, but we had to find what Shirl was looking for.

So we headed to the Thai Town plaza and sure enough, at a super market, we found what she was looking for.  And I gotta say, it was good stuff.  It's these little sticky tapioca balls filled with good, sweet things, and you wrap a little lettuce leaf and some cilantro around it, then eat it with some chili pepper.

Then we headed to Ashley's place.  Thank god she got home because I needed to take a serious shit.  I could barely hold it when I sat down and let it all go.  I think it was probably the pho from last night.  I'm not sure, but it was definitely not pleasant.

We hung out till around 10PM.  We had good conversation and some goodies that kept us going.  We left and headed to The Mint, a little bar with live music on Pico.  We had a few drinks there and then just went home.
