I just love it when we randomly get food at work. This time, it was BBQ tri tip and chicken. Great food and it made me happy. It almost made up for the crazy day at work. It’s always nice to get free food. I was able to use my lunchtime to hang out with Lisa, whom I don’t see too much of these days. She’s crazy busy with her new job and hardly has time to sleep. Poor girl. It was nice to chat and catch up. She always has good stories to tell. I miss living with her.

Angela and I went to the new Westwood Novel Café to catch up on some reading and do some writing. It was a very cool place, full of books and comfy couches. It was a restaurant of sorts in that they serve a lot of food items like breakfast and sandwiches, but it had a relaxing feeling to it, one that allows you to stay there for hours reading and writing. Angela and I hadn’t seen each other for a few days, which is a long time for us to be apart, so we caught up on each others lives. It was nice to not have to worry about anything else…work or studying or anything of that sort. I am so glad that I am not allowed to bring my work home with me. It’s a nice feeling.

I talked to my family quite a bit this past weekend. I haven’t been over there very much lately and I feel bad, but I had the film shoot this past weekend and I wasn’t feeling too hot anyways. My mom called me out of the blue and just wanted to chat. That may sound normal to most people, but our relationship is not like that at all. We never really talk and when we do, it’s always about something like car insurance (since I am on her policy) or something technical like that. I was glad to talk to her and find out more about her life. I never really think about her happiness much, which I know sounds really bad. But it just never crosses my mind because I assume that she is happy, like always. She seemed happy, which was good, so I don’t think that I will have to worry about it that much. I guess I was just surprised, that’s all.
My dad and grandma called me too. Apparently my grandma had minor surgery on her arm to remove some benign cysts. All I got to say is: No one tells me anything in my family. I am always the last to know. She is recovering just fine, but I am still kinda bothered that no one told me. I know that I would’ve done a better job at visiting if I knew that was the case.
My sisters were in the LA area and called me several times for directions and such to a lot of different places near me. I found it a bit odd that they didn’t invite me on their exploration, but I think that there were a lot of friends with them, so I didn’t mind too much. They are about as directionless as I am, but I try to help when I can. I think that I may go home this weekend sometime, so that way I can see everybody and also to pick up the things that Nathalie (my sister) brought back from Cambodia. I can’t wait to see what they are.
