So, the plan is to leave San Francisco as soon as I get the car on Friday morning. They open at 7, so I expect to be on the road by 8. (I've had some recent experience in renting cars) ETA in Santa Monica is 2 or 3, which is definitely feasible, since googlemaps claims it only less than 6 hours. Give 2 hours for rental car hassle and traffic and we're there! After a little tour of Santa Monica, the plan is to drive through Hollywood (thus bypassing the 405) and drive straight down through South LA to Lomita, where there's a room with my friends Pat and Suzanne. The time of arrival should hopefully be around 7 pm. Who knows if any of this will actually work out. The next day, will be devoted to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Wilshire and Downtown LA. This mostly means driving through the city and looking at buildings. The hotel may a parking space, and the room is near the subway to downtown, which would be great because it won't take that much time in downtown. Mostly, I wanna see the Disney Theater. That night will be spent with Talia and her boyfriend, I think, in Hollywood. On Sunday, Universal Studios. When that's over, I get to drive all the way back to SF, hopefully arriving around 10pm. I then will have to wake up early and return the car on Monday morning, before dying in an exhausted heap on the floor. It will be fun though, and I really have never visited Los Angeles, since I've been old enough to remember.
Last night, I ate a Vietnamese sandwich on Union Square and then headed to Walgreens. I was standing there looking at the shelf when my former boss from the Market Street Tom's Cookies came in and recommended something to me. All very strange. Then, I went to Quizno's and drank a diet pepsi, and sat reading Solaris outloud while tourists gave me strange looks.
When I got home at just after nine, I started talking to my roommate and didn't stop until almost 11. He gave me a Sly and the Family Stone album to burn and I went to sleep.
Whew. I'm already tired and it's only Tuesday.
