pch. day three.

day three. much more relaxed. the interview done and out of the way, i decided i really wanted to go drive the pch (pacific coast highway), or hwy one. i drove down to santa monica and took the pch all the way to malibu where i stopped at this shopping area and had a late breakfast at a place call marmalades that a friend had recommended. funny experience. so i sat down at a table in the middle. now normally when i eat alone, i'd rather sit at a small table against a wall or by the window but none were available so i settled for a four person table in the middle. i had been driving for over an hour since i came down from pasadena so i ordered coffee and then ordered my breakfast - scrambled eggs mixed with bacon and avacado and cheese and potatoes with grilled veggies in them and rye toast - and then headed off to use the restroom. as i returned from my trip to the lavatory, my table is all clean and new silverware being sat down (by the same guy who brought me my coffee not 3 minutes earlier) and a group of three people just about to be sat there... i said "i was sitting here with my coffee and just got up to use the restroom.." they all scrambled around, but of course i too had to feel the awkwardness just the same. but it was ok and the food was amazing (overpriced, but hey its malibu).

after my drive up to malibu instead of cutting back east to pasadena i went back to santa monica and into west hollywood/beverly hills area again to robertson ave where a lot of good shopping happens (no purchasing for me mind you). i really just wanted to window shop, and see this area known as the new hot spot, so as i drive in, there are fancy cars everywhere and people on the streets, and you guessed it, paparazzi everywhere! and i don't even know who they were all crazzy about. but i took pictures of THEM, cause they were much more interesting to me then whomever they were interested in! i'm glad i had that experience, it was surreal.

had dinner at the house in pasadena with amy and her friends, sat on the porch in the beautiful crisp evening and then went into pasadena for ice cream and a free screening of iron man. i'll leave my review of the movie out. but i'm glad it was free.

today (since i waited to post) is looking to be a very chill day. probably just hang out here in pasadena, have lunch and relax. amy's friend has a birthday party in highland park tonight we are gonna go to, and then tomorrow is beach day and dinner with her family in malibu.
