i like the smell of musk

You ever pop open a book in a used book store to simply smell the old. I do. You ever open a drawer in a thrift store and smell the inside. I do. I love the smell of musk. You ever get a gift from your grandmother that has sat in her closet untouched for forty years and sniff- I love it! I like old things. Anyway last night monk and I went bar hopping- ok well we only made it to 2 1/2 bars, I say 1/2 because one we walked in than out of.

The first bar, humbly pictured above is Trax located within Union Station- the 70 year old train station located in downtown la. It may be my dad's blood in me but I love this place. You can get there via the subway in a ten minute hop from my house so it seemed logical that we start drinking here; however one budlight and one stoli on the rocks ran us $17.00 which quickly ran us to the next bar!

The Biltmore Hotel built in 1923. Located on Grand and 5th it is one of Los Angeles's oldest hotels. It is also home to one of the most beautiful bars I have ever seen, and I've seen lots of bars.

As the drinking ensued we took this picture of us, I actually like it. I feel we are pretty cute, especially when we are plotting for demise.

Thats about it for now. Just made my mom and dad dinner and I am sitting here digesting as I write. The Angels game is on in the background while my mom is asleep aside me on the couch and my dad and I are discussing the days events, as he to was at Union Station today with the 3751 for National Train Day. Yes folks...Today is National Train Day!!

Good night from Cerritos!

Birthdays...

As a counter attack to my sobriety last weekend this weekend I celebrated two birthdays with friends.

Ms. Lillian celebrated her _ _ birthday, age unreleased yet not mattered as she looked great. This is one friend I seldom get to see due to our busy schedules however I was happy to make it to this event. Hosted at a bar, the lovely Ms Lillian was personable and pleasurable and the beer enjoyable!

And Mr. Todd, always a whirlwind of a fucking pleasure to be amongst life long friends! Veggie burgers, squash and sangria. It is not quite working in my stomach today however last night it was delicious!
Happy birthday to my good peeps!

Saturday morning monk and I went to a housing workshop for first time home buyers. Fingers crossed, rabbit foot rubbed, knocking on wood, and pennies tossed I sat down. It turns out to be quite an understandable yet life changing procedure and I think it will be ok. I will write more on this as it follows however I am hopeful.
Me a homebuyer,...who the fuck would have guessed it.

See guys wishes do come true...
