long time, no see

it's been a month since i blogged, and even longer since i have SEEN LESLIE! yay! she's here! she's the one who busted me for not writing here, and she may be the only person who's ever read it, so i'm blowing up your spot, les!
yesterday things got all fouled up and she missed her flight to burbank, so she had to take a later one to LAX. at first, i was bummed about this, but we definitely made the best of it. it worked out way better than the burbank plan might have. after i picked her up, to beat the heat and traffic, we wandered around santa monica by the beach for awhile and had happy hour margaritas and taquitos. it's nice when you go into a mostly deserted bar early in the afternoon, claim your stool, and get to drinking,so that you fail to notice that the place is filling up with the "after work" crowd of weirdos and creeps in dockers etc. then sometime during your second drink you look up and realize if you had walked in to this scene you would have turned around and walked right out the door again, but there you are, hanging out with the westside crowd surrounding you and everything is fine.
by the way, i am going to learn how to put photos on the blog soon, so this might be a more exciting place to visit soon. we'll see. now i am hungry. there is a veggie sausage patty calling my name.... good morning.
