| Friday 14 March 2003 5:49 pm PST West coast love, baby. I got to see some pals from the alma mater, and even walked into a Backstreet Boy. Plus I went shopping in Santa Monica, and saw a few bands play at the Viper Room. I got in a full week of sun and warmth, including 3 days chilling by the pool. It's getting cloudy now, and supposed to rain this weekend, but hey, I'm still going back home with a tan, so I accomplished my goal for this vacation. Yay. Besides lazing or tanning or seeing people, I've been trying to follow what's been going on in the NBA. Playoffs are coming up, and I'm trying to keep tabs on my team, which is currently one slot away from going to them. Watching basketball is really difficult to do here, though, for 2 reasons: 1. my brother doesn't like it so I can't watch it while he's around, and 2. all the games they show out here are either Lakers or Clippers. Why would I want to watch either of those! I have, though, discovered the beauty of NBA.com's nifty live feed thingies. I've "watched" about 4 games this week that way, while the brother watches movies or tv. Not a bad way to keep everyone happy. I'd take a few extra days out here, except I have a story due on Monday. Oh, and I have a chorus concert next Sunday, and I've kind of skipped a good chunk of my last few rehearsals (bad Matt, bad bad Matt), so I shouldn't miss the ones I'll have this week. But on the plus side, it'll be my first concert I've sung in since 1998! Welp, it looks like it's going to rain sooner than I thought. Whatever happened to that "It never rains in southern California" thing! Fraud, I tell ya. So I'm gonna cozy up on the couch and chill in front of one of my best friends, the TV. Hehe. Later :) |
