Relax, I Found Alec's Star

Not Baldwin, Guinness. Today I woke up nice and early and checked out of the hotel. I pricelined a 4 night stay and only ended up using two nights, and it turns out that priceline doesn't let you get any money back, so as it turns out I could have spent those two nights at a 4 star hotel for the same money. Boo, but oh well.

I hauled ass to the new place and moved all my crap in, which is really not much crap except for the 500 pound suitcase which I already strained my shoulder carrying earlier. At least now it's all here and I am unpacked. Afterwards I went to a Toyota dealer to waste some time haggling over shitty cars. They overcharge so much that it's a joke. I'm definitely going the private sale route.

I went to Bed Bath & Beyond to pick up some stuff for the loft. This was actually kinda fun because it's the first time I've had the ability to control every aspect of my living space. I bought some blue sheets for my bed along with a thin beige blanket. I also bought a bunch of kitchen necessities like plates, glasses, cutlery, etc. You never have a clue how much this shit adds up in terms of cost until you have to buy it all from scratch. I then made my way to my local Ralph's grocery store to stock up on some essentials like Tropicana and sliced turkey sandwich meat. I also picked up a small frozen 'za which I made and ate happily. Oh, and I also got some "real San Francisco sourdough" bread. To me it just looks like subway bread, but hey what do I know? I'll let you know how it tastes, I know you are dying to find out.

So that's it for my saturday, not much excitement to speak of, really. I guess the more settled down I get the more free time I have to kill. Today after everything was done it was only 5 o'clock and I took a nap, out like a light!

By the way, although the view from my window points out to cosmo street, which is little more than a glorified alley, I can still see a few tall buildings that are around. These include: The Capitol Records building, and the Church of Scientology building. It must be their headquarters or something because it's a big oppressive brown building. I hope their psycho-waves don't reach me, but just in case, I have my tinfoil hat on.

Alec Guinness's star on the walk of fame is right outside of Bed Bath & Beyond, on Vine. He really got the shaft on that one, nyuk nyuk.

do the people look normal? Or do they look like they're all hoping to be plucked from obscurity and given the starring role in a grainy, wobbly basement porno?
