my pod arrived at 9:30am on saturday morning, and with the help of my roomie, we were able to empty the entire 300 cubic ft space by 11am. did i mention there are stairs? can't say i jumped on the unpacking train right away. the bestie wanted to have some down time at the nail salon that morning so it was pod, shower, go!
after i was all painted and pretty, i got a surprise phone call from my hollywood starlet friend. she was in town shooting a movie and had some down time between scenes. we grabbed lunch at a cafe around the corner and ended up chatting for a few hours. paying homage to our texas roots, we walked next door to a local pizza pub to catch the longhorns game. apparently college football isn't very popular in la. i guess it's because they don't have any good teams around here so no one really cares....? but seriously, i had to ask the pub to put on the texas game and once the game started most of the place cleared out. bizarre. about halfway into the first quarter the bestie joined us. it was fun having most of the place to ourselves, but i felt a bit silly yelling 'texas! fight!' i'm definitely interested in finding a hopping spot to watch the games, so if you have any suggestions i'll take 'em.
after a severe victory over wyoming (btw, did anyone see the old, topless man in the foam wyoming barrel? what was that about??) i went back home to an apartment chock full o' boxes. boo. as much as i wanted to get started on my room i didn't think it would be fair to the roomie to leave the kitchen in such a disarray. there were so many boxes in there you honestly couldn't open any of the cabinets. after a solid 4 hours of unpacking boxes i was beat. unfortunately i hadn't started on my room and i was pretty wiped so i ended up throwing my plastic-wrapped mattress on the floor with my sleeping bag on top and called it a night.
my hollywood starlet friend didn't wrap her shoot until the wee hours of the morning, so she came over at 6:30am. we slept for a few hours and then chowed down at jinky's for brunch. the bestie actually took me to this place last weekend. it's pretty fabulous and really similar to kerbey/magnolia minus the queso. after stuffing our tummies we headed back to the casa and started working on my bed frame. oh it's so exciting to have a bed again! the starlet had to get back on set shortly thereafter and i continued on the room. after a couple of hours i hit a wall and ran over to target (that'll be trip #4 thus far) to grab more miscellaneous items. i seriously bought 100 hangers (only $5, holla!) and i STILL ran out. totally bonkers. guess i have to go back tomorrow :)
wrapping it up, the room is almost complete. i'll post some pictures once i have everything set and my posters up. i'm hoping to continue riding this productivity train well into the week. finish unpacking, job hunting, car maintenance, etc. wish me luck!
