*Currently listening to: Islands - xx

Didn't get the day started until around 3 when my mom and my brother got home. That's what happens when either your friends are at school or you don't have a mode of transportation. It was more of the latter. I head over to Katie's house after attempting to reload my transit pass. I say attempt because no one was around who was knew how to reload it.

Katie was sick so she stayed home all day today. When I saw her though, she looked much better. We went in her office room with her laptop and watched Banksy's Exit Through the Gift Shop. Really good movie whether the centered character is real or not. We went downstairs in an attempt to cook a meal, but instead we were out to pick up an order from Chili's.

Katie and I drove out first to VONS, so I could buy some mini-groceries and reload my transit pass. After a bit of a long line, we drove to Chili's to pick up the salad. And finally after filling up Katie's car, we headed back home to enjoy the meal.

Happy.

peace.

I went over to Katie's house in the afternoon to sorta help out Katie on unpacking all of the stuff they wrapped for the pest control process. I say sorta because they were almost done with all of the stuff in the kitchen. Katie and I sorted out all of the spices that were past its expiration date. About 3/4 of them were all bad, so we threw that away. Katie's mom was hungry so the two of us drove to Lolita's to get some chicken tacos for the three of us.

We unwrapped everything from the bathroom and sorted out everything back into cabinets. The two of us just lounged and tried to get Katie's newly fixed laptop up to date. As we watched some TV downstairs, Katie got ready to go eat out at Old Town with her parents. Soon enough, we left the house and met up with Katie's parents at the Old Town Inn.

The four of us walked towards Old Town and walked along the lively street trying to find a good restaurant to eat at. We ended up going into a Mexican restaurant that Katie went before. The food was good and the environment was rowdy. A good feel for a food place. We walked back after the big meal and Katie and I headed back to the homestead for the night.

One more day of break.

peace.

I got a phone call from Katie in the morning, telling me to get ready since we were heading to the swap meet soon. So I get ready and drive out to Lexi's to meet up with Lexi and Katie. The two were finishing up cleaning their room. Katie got all tired from everything so instead of going out, we decided to get lazy in the room and let everybody rest.

Later on, Lexi's friend Jorge came over and the two played guitar and attempted to write some songs while Katie and I hung out with them. As the day went on, Katie wanted to go watch a movie so we borrowed The Tourist from Lexi and headed on to my house.

The Tourist was an alright movie. A good twist at the end. After the movie, we hung around and caught The Golden Globe awards on TV. It was good to see The Social Network being praised, especially Trent Reznor receiving an award for the score. Good to see Black Swan being praised too.

I still got more days off for school.

peace.

Nothing really eventful in the afternoon. Katie was away so I had to get by the time somehow. IN the afternoon, I decided to take a final visit to Disney to pick up my checks that I haven't picked up in a couple of weeks. As the sun fell, I skated on to Wells Fargo to deposit my checks. Around night time, Katie called saying she was going home to Lexi's and was done from her busy day.

She came over and we had dinner at my house, talking about what we each did on our day. I got ready to go out and we decided to hit the highway to Downtown for the bright night sights. We made our way on to the top of the convention center again for the view. We sat down by a table where people probably sit to dine. We talked for a while until we decided to head back. I snapped a photo of the view and walked our way to Starbucks. We got to grand this evening and ordered a venti frappaccino, courtesy of the Starbucks gift card Bianca gave me for a late-birthday gift. I don't think I'll ever be able to order a venti for the rest of my life.

As we got back home from the night drive from Downtown. We just got lazy in my room until it was getting late so Katie headed on to Lexi's to spend the night.

It was a day worth waiting for.

peace.

Katie came over to the house again as she was done with her busy KORtv work. I warmed up omelets from previous nights before for Katie's lunch. I had to do the best I could to provide the girl with some food. I went to go take a shower, and we ended up getting lazy in my room until 3 o' clock, which was when Katie had to pick up the dog from PetSmart.

Katie and I went out to pick up Katie's MacBook before we went to the pet store to pick up the dog. She sent it out to the Apple store to replace a hard drive and now it was ready for pick up. We picked up the groomed dog and we hit the highway to meet up with Katie's parents at the Old Town Inn. Katie's house was tented for pest control so the family stayed at the motel. Katie and I heard about the heated pool so we got ready to go in, only to be disappointed how unheated the pool was. We sat around for a bit until we went back in the room to watch some TV eating pita chips. Katie thought up a grand idea to grab some canolis at Little Italy so we said goodbye to Katie's parents and hit up Little Italy.

There were no parking whatsoever, so I had to get dropped off, buy the desert, wait until Katie came around again and got picked up to drive on home. We headed to my house for the time being until Lexi got home from her performance.

Bitter.

peace.

Raul called me up in the morning asking to hang out before he leaves later on the day. I told him I'll get ready and meet him at the school since he was heading there to pick up his transcripts. Soon enough, I skated on from my house to Otay to meet up with Raul. I saw Raul leave with Lexi heading to the office. As I joined them, we got stopped by principal. We had a good excuse but we were hurried along to pick up our transcripts. As Raul got what he came to get, we met with Lexi and headed to Lexi's car, then we were off to Lexi's.

Lexi and Raul tried to take advantage of the time and tried to cherish every minute they had until Raul had to leave to the airport. We just hung out in Lexi's house, watching True Grit until the time came for Raul to head on. The three of us got in Lexi's car and drove on to pick up Raul's sister to head to the airport. The destination came close and close, until finally we got to the drop off section of the airport. We all loaded out the luggage from the trunk and bid farewell to our friend.

As we got back to Lexi's house, we waited for Katie to come over to Lexi's. Lexi whipped up some sandwiches and cooked up soup for the three of us to enjoy. We plugged in the SNES to the living room TV and played that for a while. We all got bored of the SNES and decided to go to Cold Stone to use Katie and Lexi's gift card to buy some ice cream while buying some cat food.

After enjoying some ice cream and a purchase at Target, Katie and I said bye to Lexi and headed on to Katie's house. Katie was going to get her house tented to get rid of the pests at her house, so everyone in her house was bagging stuff and packing up for the weekend. Katie and I did the same, clearing out the bathrooms, bagging up items and cleaning out rooms.

That was a good 2 weeks.

peace.

Katie got out of school and eventually rang my doorbell and came over to my house. We both ate lunch at my house, then Katie took a big nap until my brother and mom came home. We went upstairs and attempted to watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but my computer acted up and froze in the middle of it. We tried to find more movies but no luck. Katie decided to massage my huge knot by my shoulder. It didn't go away but now I know I have this painful knot. Katie brought over her homework as we ate dinner and finished it up. We just hung out in the living room until Katie's mom called for her to come home.

Watched some American Psycho and went off to sleep.

Didn't even leave the house.

peace.
