Getting Wasted in the City of Angels

I left for Los Angeles at about 8pm last Saturday. The drive was long and relatively uneventful, but it gave me about 5 hours of music and relaxation. I arrived at Travis' new studio apartment in Highland park on 52nd Ave at about 2am. He wasn't home, so I went inside, changed my clothes, ate some soup and put Freddy Got Fingered on. He got home at about 2:30am with Ryan. Travis was a little drunk and we all stayed up watching Freddy Got Fingered and drinking beers until about 4am, then went to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up early and full of energy. I got dressed and walked to the little store on the corner and bought a couple groceries for making an awesome vegan breakfast for only $10. We had pancakes and country-fried potatoes. Then we got the day started right and opened up some beers. We didn't have much of a plan for the day, so we hung out at the apartment for a while, then finally went into town to the mall in Hollywood, which was pretty uneventful. I think we went home and drank and watched movies the rest of the night.

The next day, Ryan and I woke up late in the afternoon, around 2pm (thanks to Travis' awesome light-blocking shades.) Travis had left for early work in the morning and Ryan and I decided it would be fun to pick up our friend Andy and go to the beach. We picked up Andy in Hollywood and, realizing we were trying to drive through impossible traffic, changed our destination to a little park in the hills, that leads to the Hollywood sign. We walked around the park taking pictures, talking and drinking whiskey. We couldn't make it too far up the hill because of the heat, but we saw some very pretty views of hills and trees (which is rare in Los Angeles!) and a secret water-ravine turned skate spot with a huge dragon painted inside it. After that, we headed back to Travis' place to meet him there and drank more whiskey and watched three movies in a row! (The Orphanage, Liar Liar and some movie with Anne Hathaway as a chola in it.)Yeah, we like movies.
