Day Two of LA was altogether uneventful and consisted of sleeping, reading up on political science and watching Robin Williams in One Hour Photo. Yay for lazy Mondays!
Today I woke up depressed for seemingly no reason, which is always fun (but Aunt Flo just laughed maniacally and explained that one). Nonetheless, I hauled myself out of the craptastic, carcinogenic apartment in which I’m staying (sounds harsh, but more on that later, I’m sure) and wandered the streets to Runyon Canyon Park, once again allowing my bobbing camera to scream “tourist!!” to everyone around me. I know Runyon Canyon’s considered lame and generally looked down upon by outdoor enthusiasts in CA, but for an outdoorsy someone lacking a car and any sense whatsoever when it comes to public transportation, it did the trick just fine. (Although, it did rudely point out to me just shamefully how out of shape I am).
In other news, I am discovering that Los Angeles is not exactly my gig. Never having been one to closely follow celebrities and movies, I’m finding it all to be a bit tacky and lonely. Not that I’m unhappy…just, disappointed, maybe? Or just PMSy, ha. The weather has been beautiful but where to go to enjoy it? I don’t want to spend my spring break inside, let alone in an apartment that is so chemical-laden it makes me dizzy, slow in the head and unable to comprehend anything I’m reading on the first try (kinda scary, that).
Ah, but I was just told that there’s a bigger and better park not too far from here via the Metro, so that may well be on tap for tomorrow. Otherwise I may wind up at Runyon Canyon again, this time just to park my butt somewhere reasonably pleasant and journal, listen to music, and just be outside for a while (as in three hours, minimum). I seriously cannot stand being inside anymore and feeling like my head is going to explode from something toxic.
I am honestly in a good mood, though and now going to overwhelm you with…erm…fifteen or so pictures of my day. Just cuz!
And this guy was too cute not to share…shepherd puppies are so comical. Can you see what he’s playing with?

Ohhhhh! If it was possible I would have stolen that puppy through the computer screen just now.
Dear lord, I need a DOG.
