Laundered Jewels February 17, 2008

Honestly now, what would you do?

I did laundry pretty late this Sunday. I was putting my clothes in the dryer when I noticed there was a sign that read: “No Sirve.” So, I go to take everything out, and I notice laying there on the bottom of the machine is a giagantic diamond ring. I grabbed it and put it into my pocket and contemplated what I should do. Make a flyer, “Lost wedding ring?” Keep it until I see a flyer? Possibly with a reward?! Or take it to the pawn shop down the street. I think I’m going with the latter. Jim says its not real and it’s probably worth only a $100. I don’t know for sure if it is, but I’ve been failing at trying to scratch it. It’s a pretty big diamond if it’s real…Anyone know anything about jewelry? I’ve lost my faith in Karma these days, seeing that only bad things happen to good people. So, lets contribute to that.

Pay day! I’m rich again. February 15, 2008

On Wednesday, I went to couple places in Echo Park and met up with an ex ex ex boyfriend there, Brian. He moved back here from his 5 month or so adventure in NY. It was good to see him and reminisce and hopefully we can start hanging out again. Barragans in Echo Park on Wednesdays has $2 margaritas and there’s good cheap food there too. I think thats probably where I’ll be Wednesday nights. The Gold Room is also cool, but there is no pool table there. There was a DJ there and he played The Smiths song, “Unhappy Birthday” which was good. I kinda liked this place better, just because it was smaller and less people. Oh! And $5 Beer plus shots. Both places are only a couple miles away too!Riding my scooter around L.A. is fun.My apartment is coming together, and soon I’ll paint it.My dad is back in the hospital. For 3 weeks. His muscles are all atrophied so, he’ll be seeing a physical therapist there regularly. My mom had hired a care taker to come to the house and get him out of bed and give him his pills, brush his teeth, get dressed, etc. But I guess things were getting a little worse. So, I’ll be over there at Los Robles all weekend to see him.
