Daily Update

I left work a little early last night. I told Kristen I'd help drive her to a car dealership. It turns out this dealership is on the opposite side of town. We were going during rush-hour on the 10 freeway. I don't know where everyone else is going, but they were all in my way. It was frustrating. What was also frustrating was the fact that I almost got on the wrong freeway to begin with, and also took a painful 27 minute detour. Oops, my mistake. Traffic was super slow. I think we could have walked there faster, honestly. But anyway, so we are getting close and in a stroke of brilliance, I get in the Car-Pool lane to avoid lots and lots of cars. Well I didn't know this, but apparently Rush hour car pool rules state you need 3 people in the car, but nothing happened, It was just pointed out to me. Then, I didn't know this, but The car pool lane on the 10 east of downtown doesn't have any exits! No seriously, I'm driving furiously to make it to this dealership before they close and I see us come up on our exit and I'm to afraid to jump out of the HOV lane! I got real nervous cause of the huge fine, and my lack of car registration, and stuff like that. So we ended up going 4 or 5 more exits before I worked up the courage to jump over the double yellow lines as I darted toward an exit, U-turned, got back on the freeway going the other way to find the exit we needed. Lucky for them they stayed open till we got there, otherwise every single one of the cars on the lot would have have huge key scratches on everyone of their car door panels, possible in the shape of Jim's keys. But we didn't have to worry about that.

Halloween was last night. A bunch of us went up to In N Out burger all dressed up. It was fun. There were quite a few people dressed as Bumble Bee's this year. All varieties were represented; slutty Bee's, crazy Bee's, Drunken Bee's, Retarded Bee's, and a 'To large to be a Bee... should have been something else' Bee's. I was representing the Harry Potter pretty well. I didn't don the dress robes, but I still did well in the tie, glasses, and sweater. Jeff was pretty good too, he was Charley Brown. So after In N Out, we went to someone's house who was having a party. It was at a house. It looked like the type of house that someone would try to sneak Alcohol into during their high school years. But I didn't know any one there really, and we didn't stay that long. I think we were the only LA First ward kids there for a while too. Not that that should make it weird, but whatever. So remember from Monday's story of the Church Halloween party? ... the kid who decided to show up as one of the dudes from Broke Back Mountain? Well, he was there, and this time his costume was Greg Louganis the Olympic swimmer. All he was wearing was a speedo and a gold metal. [the following three lines have been censored]. But we left instead, and went to Greenfield to eat pumpkin pie and watch a movie.

I'm listening to a radio interview with Slash the former lead guitarist of Guns N Roses, which I will be listening to a bit later.

Lunch was sponsored by Jamba Juice and Snickers.

Oh Ya, and Emily thinks Christian Bale is "Ohhh, Sooo Tasty". I think thats disgusting. Right Emily?

Oh, and at work, everyone is telling me that we have tons to do, and we're super busy. But you know what that makes me want to do... thats right, Leave Early! But we'll see.
