tuesday
today is amanda's birthday!
she went to disneyland without us
boo! haha jk
today was also joel's 2 year death anniversary
so we went to mass then visited the grave site
i still can't believe that it has been 2 whole years
it's so weird
how easily life can be taken away
afterwards, we ate at shakey's
it was my first time eating there
i know... deprived much
following dinner, we had Baskin Robbins
apparently, on tuesdays a scoop of ice cream is $1
sweetness! haha
once i got home, i left with the family to watch the midnight showing of Transformers 2 at Universal
we get there & apparently my sister bought the wrong midnight showing so we ended up trading the tickets in for the 1:45 showing
totally worth it though
the movie was bomb
optimus is the boss
i got home a little before 5am & knocked out

wednesday
i hung out with pam & max all day
the plan was to paint her room
max ended up doing the work
while pam & i played on her Wii & walked her dogs
haha we are very efficient

thursday - friday
don't remember much
probably spent those days with the eldest sister
driving around and such

saturday
hung out with pam & ate jen
we hit up the burbank mall then went to the promenade
it was nice being there again during the weekend
where there was tons of live entertainment on the streets
i was immediately captured by Jim Hanft
he kinda reminded me of Glen Hansard
& Billy Joel, simply because he played the guitar and the harmonica simultaneously
he had a calming voice
& i absolutely loved his stage presence
while singing, he would go on his tippy toes
i thought that that was simply adorable
makes me feel like he really loves what he's doing
& is just so anxious to share his music with the crowd
we left santa monica to pick up max & pam dropped us off
i then asked my eldest sister if she wanted to go with me to visit my friend
she agreed & we left
it was my friend doug's mom & dad's 28th anniversary and garage sale
the event was pretty darn nice
they had servers & everything!
we ended up staying till about 1:30

sunday
slept all day...
& i have been updating my music
currently on a more folky/indie high
