Tuesday, December 09, 2003 I didn't realize my last blog was almost a month ago! Anyways so on the Saturday (Nov 22) my family came to visit. It turned out pretty good. They had a good time. The only thing I would change if I had the chance to do this again is to fly down to LA instead of the bus. I think pay $50 per person to save 12 hours of travel time is totally worth it. So my trip to LA didn't end up as planned. We didn't go to Universal Studios or San Diego or meet up with my friend Andrew because we ended up staying an extra night in Las Vegas. The second night was cool cuz we got comped at the Mirage thanks to the "relatives" that came with us. Unfortunately it was too damn cold in Vegas that week. Actually, Vegas gets pretty chilly in the winter time. The palm trees they plant along Las Vegas Blvd are a completed farce! VEGAS IS COLD! Oh ya, I lost like $5 on the tables, no big deal there. As for LA...well....let's just say that it's a nice place to visit. I wouldn't want to live there. It's so dirty looking compared to Toronto. The hotel we stayed at was pretty good It's located right by the beach in Santa Monica (Wishire Blvd and Ocean Dr. to be exact). That explains a lot actually. Brian caught up with me and the family and he hung around that night too (so this is like the Thursday night, so it's US thanksgiving). The next morning we all went out for a drive since we spent like 5 hours in LA prior to that. The hotel is near Beverly Hills and Bel Air so that's where we went. I tried to look for the Will Smith house but I don't think we were anywhere near there. Honestly the houses are all gated so it's more or less impossible to see what it's like inside. We did sort of made a pit-stop at UCLA. It's kinda cool that a university is on top of a hill and in the middle of the rich part of town. Overall the week was cool but I wish it had been longer. Now that I am back at work, i feel lazy and sleepy all the time. The worst part of it is, I am already sleeping atleast 8 hours each night. I'm becoming so lazy! Speaking of being lazy, i've been watching way too much TV. I can list my entire weekly viewing schedule here but that'd be too long and boring. Besides those shows suck....except for that Paris Hilton show on Fox. It's pretty funny. Actually anything with Paris Hilton in it is funny...which includes but not limited to that notorious porn tape of her and this other guy that got leaked on the internet. She was also on Saturday Night Live last saturday. That was a hoot. posted by Ben | | | 10:41 PM |
