chase the light

I went to Santa Monica and Venice today and the weather was perfect. This is definitely where I would want to live, but oh the commute it would be. I saw the house that the used in The Real World Los Angeles on MTV. It’s empty. I picked up a chicken taco at Jodi Moronis for lunch and sat out by the Venice Boardwalk. At the basketball courts there are games going on every single minute a basket is free. If it’s a full court game and the play heads down to one side, people get out on the unused end and start shooting hoops. Then when the games comes back down their end they yell “clear” and get out of the way. Then the opposite thing happens at the other end. Talk about taking advantage of your time.

I then went to the Santa Monica Promenade. Never even heard of this place. Been to the pier a bunch of times but never even knew this place existed. The Parking costs $2.20 for some reason. Seems like an odd number. There was a video shoot for a band called Sun 60 going on at The Mayfair Theater. I doubt I’ll ever hear of them. The Promenade’s kinda nice and it looks like Christmas because all the trees are strung with lights.
