arrested development.
who watched (or currently watches) arrested development? i never did. i mean i think i caught an ep here or there, but never in any regularity. i started watching it last night via hulu and i must say, its hilarious. one may ask what sparked my sudden interest. its rather strange to admit, but i only decided to start watching it because of church. church?! well come to find out, i learned a few weeks ago from my friend cristina who used to attend ecclesia (she now attends expression58) that tony hale, the actor who plays buster on ad, not only attends but is an elder of my church. i thought that pretty nifty, but it was slightly more nifty when he happened to sit directly behind me yesterday morning during service! anyway. thats the celeb report for today.
broken scooters and vistors.
what is it with blogs. i really like reading them, and i actually like writing them, but for some reason in my life they are the first thing i let slide. and there are many days where i'll be going about my day and somethign will happen, and i'm like wow this is totally blog worthy, but it never gets put down. so now i dont' remember them. and there is no point trying to rehash them now. i'm really going to try. ok enough of that. on to my past week.
joel came to visit this weekend. he got in late last weds night and left on sunday. we had plans to scoot all around town on theScooter, but alas, the scooter had different ideas. it broke down earlier that day when i was heading to trader joes after work. just stopped. i could tell it was electrical, cause the first things i lost were all my guages. after four hours of trouble shooting, i had to give in and have it towed to monterey park (a long ways away) and have it worked on.
well joel and i had a nice leasurily morning the next day and then took the bus out to get the scooter that was supposedly fixed... which it seemed to be... but broke down about 2.5 miles into our ride away... yeah frustrating to say the least. without dragging this story on, it had to go back and it ended up being a faulty switch, but they sadly had to order it so i didn't get the scooter back until yesterday (obviously well after joels visit ended... there went our scooting plans).
we made the weekend work. joel has a few friends in the area, so it was fun meeting them and finding new places for happy hour and food, as well as taking them to some of my favorites (ie: kings road cafe! yumm).
joel and i did a lot of walking and decided it was time to start training for another marathon. i talked him into doing the LA marathon this february. so we are now officially in our first week of training. (i think it was more both of us talking each other into it!) marathons are addicting. this will be the fourth for both of us. third together. :) crazzy times.
anyway. as stated above the scooter is back in business so i'm getting around again. i've had a nice couple of days off -- been able to get a few things done around the apartment and run a few errands, as well as enjoy my mid week runs at whatever time i felt like... though i made the mistake of going at noon today in 90 degree heat... not a good choice.
ok. i'll leave you with a few pictures of joel, all of which i think were at restaurants... we like our food and cafe's!
