went on a random hike in Griffith park.  Randomly got off the bus early and had to walk past pony rides and parties until i found a trail .  Here is a view of glendale.   Oh yeah…… it was 100 degrees.  Made it back alive, dusty, sun burnt, and headache-y.   Yay adventure!

nothing like still being able to see work on your day off.

I like to take walks when i don’t have anything better to do.  This was today’s.  Just imagine if i had a bike!

i just wish there was more of a cafe/outdoor space culture.  and it wasn’t so strange to be walking around.

So it’s time for a bit of an update.   My new room:

And please don’t feel bad about me sleeping on the floor.   I’ve never slept so well in my life.   it’s a very cushy carpet.

Glendale has a giant outdoor mall (they have apartment’s above it so dLally should consider living here if he crosses over to the dark side aka. dreamworks).   And at night they have a water & light show to lounge-like music in the middle of this mall-like place.

Glendale is rather suburb-y but i’m close to a lot of cool things that i like.  Goodwill, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Normal Grocery store, a diner, YMCA, library, etc… There are also those hills that surround the valley that are just BEGGING for a hiking trip.  :)

I think i can make this work.
