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 :-) 

Overwhelmed, Pt. 2

Beverly Hills, that's where I want to be. 

And the adventures continue! I went exploring around Beverly Hills where I soon realized that the traffic is bad, there is a lot of construction right now and the houses are where I'd like to live. 

I think I'm going to stick to keeping a list of everything I manage to accomplish each week, so for this week:

- Bachelorette (had to keep up, even in LA)

- Taco Villa Corona (tacos are small but filling)

- Dog Haus (hotdogs are huge and still filling)

- Writers of Jessica Jones Panel at WGA (the guy that wrote Now You See Me is a humble dude)

- Beverly Hills (see above)

- Makers Studio (side bar #1)

- Comic Book store #2 (Archie Comic Books are soo expensive, I should have never thrown away my collection)

- Food Truck Thursdays @ South Clubhouse (yasss, Oakwood.)

- WGA Library (side bar #2)

- The Farmers Market (quesadi-yes)

- The Grove (i spent $80 on jeans when 90% of the stores had sales going on lol why)

- Bootie LA (side bar #3)

- being sick 

side bar #1: Makers Studio. so everyone knows new media is a thing, but seeing how little it took for this studio to do what they do, was a bit crazy. It's funny how seeing their corporation office was a LOT bigger and more modern compared to the building where the actual product was made. 

side bar #2: WGA Library. Going into this, I wasn't really too excited. But I was so wrong about that.. seeing all the scripts they had first hand was an experience I'm definitely going to do again while I'm here. I spent my time going through Friends pilot and it was so different from seeing the actual episode. There were some things in the pitch that was in the script that are different from how the episode played out so it was interesting seeing how it started from the script and made its way to the final product. 

side bar #3: Bootie LA. great DJ. great friends. see pics. 

going back soon, next time hopefully with my main man. 

The second week has gone by and so many more memories have been created and there's still 6 weeks left. This weekend is Fourth of July though so it should be a good time; I can't wait to see all the people in red white & blue. HAHA jk, I'm British. jk again, i'll still celebrate
