California Trip 7/27/14 - 8/3/14
11 years ago
So I've been in glorious Los Angeles for the past few days for my sisters ice skating competition. This is the first time i've ever been to California so naturally i'm treating it like a great adventure.
Monday I spent most of the day working as I worked out a deal with my job to work remotely in lieu of taking PTO. Afterward I met up with one of my friends Austin who I brought back to the hotel from his place. I really did enjoy hanging out with him he's awesome. Ended up going to the Disneyland shopping district that night before I took him home. My sister was spazzing out over everything, she's such a Husky. Driving through the Desert was an experience, I've never seen this type of environment before it was so fascinating I nearly ran off the road just looking at everything. Also I found Mt Chilliad on my trip out there to pick up Austin. I've spent a lot of my time here comparing things to GTA 5, a source of much amusement for me.
Tuesday we hiked up to the observatory and got to see the cityscape. I didn't realize how freaking huge LA was nor did I realize what smog was. My initial reaction "I need more ram, this draw distance is pretty shitty." Ended up going to the wax dummy museum by the Chinese theater which was fun and the best candy store in the world which was even more fun. I didn't know they still made Charms or Fruit Striped gum... my childhood! :D But yeah cruised some of the city, mostly up an down Hollywood blvd. Realized the Chinese theater was much like time square in New York complete with people in creepy Elmo costumes looking to take pics for money and the aspiring musician forcing his music into your hands an expecting you to pay for it. Just a thought, a fursuiter may be able to make better money there than any of them because of the quality put into suit construction in the fandom vs. the costumes people buy at party city.
Weds was more or less me working from the room and watching movies because I had crap to do. I'm planning go to to the beach Thursday, sisters competition on Friday and San Diego to visit a friend all day Saturday followed by beer and the beach again Sunday. If anyone wants to meet up feel free to say so because why the hell not right? I'm always down for meeting new people. Will update when I can.
