My Life is Not Real.

Getty Museum.
Topanga Days Music Festival. The last true hippies.
Santa Monica Beach.

So it's been a while and in the meantime I've been a busy bee! We've been to Disneyland, Topanga Canyon, the Santa Monica Mountains and Griffith Park to hike, Yogurtland three times, the Melrose Flea Market, and oh so many more places. I've had cupcakes from five different places: Crumbs, Joan's on 3rd, Buttercake Bakery, Famous Cupcakes (owned by the Kardashians), and Vanilla (our favorite thus far). I've even seen Jack Johnson, Ziggy Marley and Delta Spirit, all within two weeks.

Hiking is our new obsession. We're making it a weekly occurrence. Good exercise, amazing views, and the great outdoors. I can't wait to take my visitors to my favorite spots.

Today, Madame Libby P. and I went to Malibu and ran on the beach. I knew it was difficult, but I didn't think my calves would hurt this much. Tomorrow morning should be interesting. After we cruised around Malibu, we stopped for cupcakes at Vanilla in Santa Monica. Wow. I had a mint chocolate mini and a black and white mini and they were amazing. They were moist, but not too and the frosting was just the right amount of sweet. I highly recommend it.

After cupcakes, I went to see Delta Spirit play a free set at Amoeba music. This is the sixth time I've seen them, and the third state I've seen them in (the other two being Sassachusetts and Illinois). I even got their new album even though it isn't officially released until tomorrow. The only thing that was missing was my D.S. buddy, Sazz-ma-Tazz, who is enjoying springtime in Europe. Don't forget the Haribo, bress.

And of course there's work! Last week in the office we were hit with a massive amount of scripts to cover (to read, summarize, and comment on) and so I've just been reading and writing like crazy. Some scripts are better than others, but I've learned an incredible amount from just three weeks of exposure. Last week, a group of movers made our day by delivering the Terminator 2 arcade game and pinball machine. Unfortunately, the former is not currently working, but I did have the high score on pinball.

Since my current internship is only three days a week, I'm in the search for another one for the other two days. I have two interviews tomorrow, one at a talent agency and one at a production company on the Fox Lot, and hopefully one more by the end of the week.

So I'd say we've been enjoying and appreciating our time in this crazy city. AND I've seen Ashley Parker Angel twice, so really, what is there to complain about?
