Uuuuuuugggghhh?

I used to go to Amoeba all the time when I lived in San Francisco.  cool place. 

Ugh is the airport and going back. 

oh.  ug. 

Yeah, I was the back-up driver of the Suburban so I dropped the others off at LAX before spending a good ten hours there, learning that my next door neighbor's mom had passed away so he now has no parents, and after sleeping after my two flights and deciding to head back to Nacogdoches, I'm stuck in Dallas cause my car's steering doesn't work, and I need to fix the logs at the radio station cause I messed up on something before leaving on the trip.

Ugh indeed. Of course, my neighbor's issue puts it all in perspective, as it could be waaaaaaay worse.

I'm sorry to hear about your neighbor. that must be really rough. 

Well, at least the rest of the trip seems like it worked out.  Sometimes you need to pay the travel gods... with interest. 

Yeah, and it looks like the car can be fixed, it's just gonna cost. C'est la vie.

Looking forward to the pictures.

Me too. I took so many I probably forgot what's in some of them.

Also, since you've been having a feud with go aztecs over In n' Out, have you read the cracked article where resident opinated Adam Tod Brown listed the place as one of the most overrated? Just curious because when I saw it I instantly knew "Yep, this will please Joe".

I have not seen that, but I'm on may way to that side of the Internet to give  ATB a virtual high five. 

To be fair, In N' Out IS better in California and given its low price compared to everything else in California, I think I get it now. ... But I still love my Whataburger.

Yay Angels getting a win over the Royals! The next day was Lego Movie Night, where the Halos imploded and let the Royals score a lot in I think the 8th inning.

I like 3rd Street Promenade, and I don't think I ever visited the Santa Monica Pier. I saw the pics on your school page, it seems you guys had a lot of fun!

Well, I never visited the 3rd Street Promenade, cause by that point we were all tired of the damn beach and surrounding area. lol

And oh yeah, we had tons of fun. I like those fire things that go off when the Angels score. At Rangers ballpark it's fireworks, but those flames can be felt from way over where we were sitting, and it was niiiiiice. 

Haha I get it was a bit chilly in Orange County?

I'm usually hit/miss with the beach communities. Some times I really like them, other times I can't wait to leave. 

When we got to santa Monica, the sun was out, but Venice Beach was cloudy and cold while we were there and just ... eff all those people who want to force a pair of headphones on me and then ask for donations. I made the mistake of giving some change to a homeless cause and I felt like a reggae artist basically robbed me. "One love" my ass. I wasn't gonna fight him, cause he seemed like he might have a knife on him, but I threw that CD he got my dollar for in the trash. Venice Beach is no place to wander around on your own looking for the rest of the group. I should have kicked that guy's ass in retrospect, but I was in no damn mood to make things even worse. Same with all the people saying I must like hip-hop cause I had a Red Sox tee on. I climbed a rope near Santa Monica for therapy. lol

You should of tried a Tommy's Burger, you haven't lived till you tasted one. In and Out Burgers and Toomy's are my favorites, maybe you can try one next time you come back to L.A. in the future. Looking forward to the pics.

I'm still not convinced the hype for In N' Out is warranted, but maybe I'll move there or Tommy Burger will come to Texas like In N' Out did. In N' Out is better in Cali than in Texas, but only by a little bit. 

The customer service at In N' Out has always impressed me though, I'll give it that.

Such a busy trip, I probably wouldn't have the energy to do half of it.

You find the energy when all you do is have fun and connect with people in the industry you wanna work in. 

What is instant mom?

A sitcom that was ... well, the warm-up guy was really funny and some of the actors and characters were fine, but ... uuuuuugggghhhhh. 

Even if I liked the show, I bet it would be rough to watch the same scene over and over and again that many times when you've had a full day and are tired already.
