tonight i went back to the hollywood area to meet with another friend i had not seen in a long time. we did stuff i never do: went to chinatown, had a drink at a bar, then went to have a drink at another bar.

in chinatown, there's a wishing well and if you look carefully, you will see a bunch of turtles swimming around the bottom.

they also have a kiddie ride and when i see one of those and i have i camera, well i just can't resist.

i've only been to a bar once or twice, and it wasn't to have drinks. it was to find friends or to hang out with a friend, maybe throw some darts. the whole bar thing was among the topics we talked about since she likes the bar thing and i don't get it at all (don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?). again, there was quite a bit of information exchange since we had some catching up to do. what was nice was that even though we've had a break in the friendship, we were able to just jump right back in as if we hadn't seen each other for only a couple of weeks.

all this drinking and driving (not at the same time) and i still got home before midnight. this weekend was go go go. i didn't have time at all to read, work on my class stuff, get my car fixed, etc. i didn't get to visit the other elementary schools i attended. that's ok, i'll do that next holiday. i don't think i'll go out tonight. there was a club in the suburbs having a smiths tribute night but i have to drive back home tomorrow so forget it. i'm too tired to even do anymore tech support for my mom.
