IN HAPPIER NEWS, in the top picture i am enjoying the MOST DELICIOUS DRINK IN THE WORLD PROBABLY. i didn't mean to do two food/drink-item pictures in a row but i have been thinking about this drink since the last time i had it in october.

it's WHITE CHOCOLATE ICE BLENDED COFFEE from coffee bean!!!!!!!!**@@

after getting it, i walked back to paula's apartment and read "diets that work!" while enjoying my 2000 calorie beverage.

no offense to the company that has provided my only source of income for the past year but coffee bean has mastered the white chocolate ice blended coffee beverage. no one else. it's so delicious.

ALSO i walked around a lot, down santa monica and la cienega and eventually to melrose. to get anywhere in this city without a car you have to put in a bit of legwork, which is completely fine because i love walking by myself.

notable occurences:

1. paula's neighbors not only openly staring at me but also raising one eyebrow as i walk by.

2. i saw a savannah cat!!! i saw it sitting in someone's window, and it looked like it was only a little smaller than garp! they're crossbred domestic and wild cats, are banned in a few states (!), and cost like $10,000 maybe $20,000, i can't remember and don't feel like looking it up. but i was excited to see one.
