So the new restaurant isn't open yet, but we;re inside and prepping and practicing, and should open within a week.

Finally.

Tuesday was my friend Roman's birthday, so my friend T and I tricked him into getting into my car to go to lunch, and took him away from Hollywood all the way out to the beach in Santa Monica. He said he hadn't been to the beach in at least 8 years, which is longer than he's actually lived in LA.

So we went to...

So I was out drinking Sunday, started around 1pm at a barbecue at a friend's house, and continued on to a friendly bar. Left the bar somewhere in the neighborhood of 4am I'd guess, although I'm not too clear on the subject.

Got up at 8.45am to head to work. Hung over.

Had to stop at the supermarket on the way in to pick up...

Didn't have anything going on today, so H and I went out to the horse track.

I put on my jacket tonight and got three surprises.

1) $40 in the inside pocket
2) Old plane tickets from LA to Dallas from several months ago
3) A bus ticket from the Granada (Spain) airport to central Granada from March of last year.


And I wear this jacket all the time. Seriously.

i had a dream about you last night. we were eating at Fred's and you started yelling at me about Bukowski and I hit you on the head with one of his books somehow.
Then Linda showed up and we were suddenly in Austin at Katz's eating fried pickles, and then all these wierd San Fran rockabilly guys form the tattoo shop next door to my house showed up and then suddenly we moved again and were in your kitchen and Henry was laying on the floor moaning about having to do all the dishes.
Seriously.
this is my brain when deprived of gourmet food for too long I think...

I have developed a habit of sleeping no more than 4 hours a night for the last week or so, just so that I can cram a social life in around my work hours.
