i love food

Los Angeles. 

last week i wrote out my entire blog and then i hit publish and all that got posted was my meme........... so here's to hoping that doesn't happen again. 

i'm gonna keep it pretty simple this week cause it's been a pretty simple week? 

here's the list of activities: 

- saw Andres' short film (it was pretty darn good)

- saw Star Trek at the Hollywood Bowl (sidebar #1)

- went to a place called the virgil (sidebar #2)

- went to Venice Beach (sidebar #3)

- Dog Haus (pt.2 it was still yummy even tho i only got tots)

- Tomato Pie Pizza Join (freaking A+++++, im going back)

- Melrose Avenue (sidebar #4)

- Comic book store i forgot the name of (also sidebar #4)

**all week i've also been watching the latest grey's anatomy season that is now on Netflix and holy cow i just can't stop watching**

sidebar #1: I've never seen Star Trek before but Gareth kinda hyped it up all night so i went in with high expectations and thankfully it held. The movie was soo amazing and on top of that, to have the orchestra be there was even more incredible - especially for me bc i absolutely love music. the whole experience was something new and i loved it. and i really hope we have that movie night to watch the second one and then go see the new one when it comes out soon

sidebar #2: do not recommend. 

sidebar #3: venice is really pretty - and also very tourist oriented. all the shops are alongside the beach for shoppers, for example. parking was a $30 for 3 hours NIGHTMARE. but it was fun! And i got myself some new $10 sunglasses from one of those shops so im not mad :-) i think one of the highlights was when ryan's friend ben came up to me and kayla and said "can i see your phone? ... and your hat?" so i gave it to him and then ryan comes out of no where and dunks me into the ocean. lol i should've seen that coming 

sidebar #4: melrose is a pretty cool street. we got there kind of late so the market was closed already but we still went into a few shops. I bought myself a new frank vinyl (even tho i can't listen to it until im back home) and we even found probably what's been the best comic store we've seen in LA so far! the people were very kind too. we even enjoyed happy hour at Redo Restaurant. and i secretly only did that so i could use their bathroom :-)
