Well, basically that. It was a sun instead of a moon, whatever. What is important is the angry read 'ALERT'. I was like woaaaaah, something interesting is happening! Well, it turns out, holy shit, alert everyone, oh my god, ITS GOING TO RAIN. MODERATELY HARD. JUST TODAY. WATCH OUT. Basically, it drizzled all day. But that drizzling made it okay for at least a quarter of all the people in my class and one teacher to be at least a half hour late to class. Oh Californians, how would you survive the Midwest? Living out here makes me feel like Les Stround or something.
So anyway, I thought I'd fill you all in on my Sunday before next weekend rolls around and I have a bunch of other fun and exciting things to talk about. Sunday was another fun day (lol, rhyme. ew.) with Jacky and Catherine and one of Jacky's high school friends. First, we went to the Annenberg Space for Photography because it had an amazing exhibit on beauty going on called Beauty CULTure. I wasn't supposed to take pictures, but I shot this clip in the bathroom of a video that was playing on a TV set into the mirror:
The whole exhibit was a really in-depth look at cultural beauty standards and famous photographs that reflect and critique those cultural standards, along with a really interesting documentary. Again, I'm finding that I prefer to visit museums on my own so I can peruse them at my own pace. I would have liked to stay longer, but we were all getting hungry so we headed to Westwood!
Westwood is basically UCLA's giant Dinkytown (maybe a little closer to State Street, but hey, I miss DT. Gimmie a break). I just about died when I saw it. It felt like homeeeee! Oh UCLA, why aren't you one of the schools that participates in National Student Exchange? You're not too good for me! You're perfect for me! Being on that campus really felt like a West Cost version of the U of M. Party cups and empty beers on the lawns, even some underwear in a bush. Home sweet home. I can't express to you all how much I would love to spend a semester there. But, I know there are reasons I ended up at CSUN instead of UCLA, and I won't let myself forget that, blah blah. But stillllll. WhinewhinewhineIwannagoooothere. Okay, I'm done.
Anyway, so Westwood was great. We ate at a delicious falafel place and I got to try the Famous Diddy Riese Cookies. Espresso chip ice cream between two fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies for $1.50. Need I say more? It was like the Mesa Pizza (link for lame people who have never had Mesa) of Westwood, insane line out the door and all.
After we ate, we met up with Melvin and another friend back in LA to see a comedy group called ASSSSCAT at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, which was fucking hilarious and, amazingly, totally free. The whole show was improv based on a monologue that a guest comedian told, which was based on audience suggestions. The UCB theatre is also home to the act Shitty Jobs, which features Donald Glover as one of the cast members. I really want to see that show while I'm out here because I love Donald Glover (30 Rock and Community 4LIFE), and its only $5.
So, end another great weekend (three days ago). I'm sad though, this is the last weekend I'll be going out with Jacky and Catherine until November because they're total badasses and have jobs being zombies at Six Flags Magic Mountain's Fright Fest. Sooo jealous. Hopefully I'll get to visit them at work sometime.
I also feel the need to mention my roommate is singing along to Justin Bieber right next to me. I think its bed time for both of us. Good night loves, until next time! <3
