but being without a car i really have no control of whether i go to the ocean or not.
unless i walk/skip/run which i'd have to leave now (tonight, 11pm) and get there tomorrow OR take the complicated bus system which dacoda and i failed at in october.
SO instead i took a very long walk. first to pick up the pictures from my disposable camera and get some overpriced jamba juice oatmeal, and then down fairfax allll the way to the grove. which is a great place to go if you have a lot of time to kill (convenient for me right!?)
on fairfax is basically the greatest bookstore of all time, family. everytime i go in i can spend hours (okay usually only maybe one hour, max.. but i COULD spend hours) looking at all the books and zines (like, actual zines, i'm not just shortening the word magazines, although it IS short for magazines, but thats because they aren't REALLY magazines)
ANYWAY.
i bought two books.
mcsweeney's and CATholic which is pictures of cats doing things and stories of cats (a must-read!)
then at the grove i went to barnes and noble to look at photography/art books... lichtenstein and john baldessari and nick knight.
just lets spend a few minutes looking at this picture of devon aoki, by nick knight:
i wish i looked like that.
and then i went to nordstroms to look at shoes that i really love but can't buy.
AND then began the treacherous walk back.
(also i went to erewhon to get a snack and almost immediately after opening it, dropped it on the ground.ffffff)
WELL then i was so determined to go swimming even if it wasn't in the mighty pacific. i mean the pool at paula's apartment is ALMOST just as good.
then then then i finally saw tim tonight for the first time since i've been here. AND sam and martin.
we had dinner at frankie's and that concluded my evening.
and for those of you who are questioning what i just said, i have photographic proof:
