Nothing much. Didn't watch a movie. Internship as always good. Read scripts and also really starting to feel comfortable at the internship and with the people I work with.
SATURDAY 5/25
Great great day today! Yet another LA adventure with apartment mate CONNIE! This is what we did....
1. Took two buses the 2 and then the metro red line to OLVERA STREET.
- It was a lovely street. Filled with small stores that sold jewelry, candy and toys. Lots of knick knacks. A lot of hand made goods as well. Didn't take us long to walk through. After a while all the little shops sold the same thing, made us wonder how any of them are able to sell anything when they all sell the same thing and at very similar prices.
2. While walking along Olvera Street there was a small exhibit of a Stockton's Adobe. My history is not the best so not exactly sure how it fits in or that much of the historical background of Calforn...i forgot. Anyways thank goodness I was with Connie because she's pretty knowledgeable about history was able to answer my questions. It was still cool to walk through and see the different rooms of the adobe, the bedroom, living room, child's room and outdoor kitchen.
3. Walked then stumbled along OLD FIREHOUSE.
- It was they very first says the lady who was there. First in LA or in the US do not know..but it was pretty cool. On the walls there were the different styles of helmets used by the fire fighters. In the center of the room was the waaaay old "fire truck". It was more of a wagon thing that was pulled by 2 horses. Pretty neat. The place was closing in 10 minutes so we also got there just in time.
4. Walked some more, took some pictures then came across CHINESE HISTORICAL MUSEUM. It was pretty cool. There was a section on Angel Island and on the two floors above a mini art exhibit compiled of art from street artist and their take on immigration. A lot of the pieces were really interesting and I enjoyed expanding my horizons both in terms of art and about immigration, which I have to admit I don't know much about. Its really unfortunate how unaware I am of my surroundings. I need to fix that...and be more culturally aware.
6. Walk to LITTLE TOKYO
- There Connie and I got thai iced tea, delicious...Then walked and heard some Taiko drumming and watched for a sec. Then we went into Nijiyah where we bought snacks! I got shrimp chips, not the spirally ones but the ones that are chip shaped you know what I mean. MMMM. Then we looked in about 3 stores and just explored. One store was like a Daiso but more expensive, they had stationary, makeup, stuffed animals and kitchen ware. We looked in a Sanrio one and some other one. I can't remember but in many of them we were prompted/drawn in by big fluffy stuffed animals and I would very much liked to have owned but do not have the money to spend on them...
7. Back home on the Metro Purple line and then on the 720
TOTAL ADVENTURE COST: $12.11
$6 round trip bus fare
$4.12 thai tea
$1.99 shrimp chips
basically everything was free...love it!
A very eventful day :)
MOVIE: No Strings Attached
Funny movie and much more rom com then I expected. Some lines that had me dying...
- It's like a crime scene down there (referring to having a period)
- BOO! Here's my dick.
- Did you make me a period mix tape? (that is pretty awesome and hilarious)
- Yesterday I pulled a penis out of a Vitamin Water. I think we're good on penis'.
- We're all doctors we see hundreds of penis' a day. I see a thousand.
Can't wait to see Friends with Benefits and see how it compares.
PEACE yall!
