britney spears and bear fights

this is good. a night worthy of a blog (in my own eyes anyway). i dont have pics for a while because my camera cord is broken. but you all have good imaginations so im sure youll be fine.

tuesday i woke up to kelly calling me at her lunch break. i was groggy and complaining that i didnt have anything to do. she reprimanded me a bit and said, um you are in l.a.! you better do something! so i got off the couch and went out. i went to a bunch of thrift stores looking for weights for zack and a russian hat for kelly. i found nothing. but i did get to drive around alot. thats always nice. then i stopped at a little coffee shop called amsterdam. i looked at the l.a. times magazine for things to do.

then i noticed that they had an open mic that night, so i went home and got zack to come along. it was worlds nicer than the bar scene. about 20 or so people and all were very cool and supportive. i did my standard britney spears, hit me baby one more time, cover. i camped it up beforehand and said, "this song got me through alot of difficult times." and i shut my eyes mocking emotional intensity. no one got it until i sang the chorus, then they all laughed and said to themselves, ohhhhh he's being silly. then i played one of mine, and people seemed geniunely interested. zack also rocked the stage with a couple of his originals. it was encouraging and fun.

then we went to a church that was down the street and it was pretty cool. we both agreed that their ideals and theology were on par with ours, but i got a pretentious vibe from the congregation. nevertheless, i plan on attending this church for a while.

i am filling out my apartment form today and it makes me wish i had a job so i dont have to lie about it. im sending apps to coffee shops now.

also, i am going camping this weekend. i think its a bit of a last hurrah for kyle before he gets married (the roommate i am replacing). should be tons of fun and full of bear fights!
