it's hot

yeah so there have been a lot of power outages because it's so hot. people are cranking up the a/c and i guess the power companies can't handle it. we've been fine - the a/c is struggling though, it gets pretty warm in the apartment during the day. today it hit a record of 97 degrees - Death Valley area was at 125 degrees. I'm sure it's not as bad as the South, I know it's not..haha

Well yesterday we went to Vinice Beach and got boogie boards. It was pretty fun, Eric kept getting some good waves. Oh yeah, that's the best thing about the beaches out here, the waves are a lot bigger than the Gulf. so we left and ate at Sharkey's....go figure we eat there at least twice a week, they have the best nachos. We came back and took showers and then went downtown to film some stuff - we're filming shots of downtown and cars to make video backgrounds. we'll use them for The Well and we could also sell them online, people are always looking for these things. While we were filming on a bridge, a homeless person walked by and yelled jibberish really loud. He repeated himself and left. crazy.... so we left and followed all of the dance music and lights futher into downtown. some company blocked off a couple of streets and was throwing a huge rave. it looked really cool because all of the lights we're bouncing off of the buildings. i'd say 10,000 people we're there. we decided not to attend.

this morning we got up and drove about 45 min. south to Saddleback Church. Doug Fields was preaching this morning, maybe Rick Warren was writing a book. The church, of course, was huge. You have the oppurtunity to choose three styles of worship that they offer. we went to the "main" service so we didn't have to watch a big screen with the pastor. I did like the church - friendly people and good music (they played a lot of island music) And this guest artist Sarah Kelly played a couple of songs. She was really good - I also found out she has directed a few films. We came back and I watched Miss Universe - I could tell when the girls messed up, because I watched them in rehersal. Somebody forgot to tell me when the rehersal for the swimsuit section was though -

A couple of things - Anna found a really good pizza place in Echo Park - they have Chicago style pizza and the atmosphere is really laid back, relaxing

my good friend Jason Banks sold the first car of his life on Saturday. this was the second day of his "salesman" position and he got sticker price, very uncommon he says. so if you are in need of a new GM vehicle or any used one, see Jason in Starkville, MS

Ok - Below are some pics of the lot I'm working at. Sunset/Gower
