I Forgot What I Was Going to Say

I did, really.

I finally headed up to Los Angeles for the first time since I moved here. It was good. An hour turned into two because of 45 minutes of stop and go. On a Saturday! And there wasn't even an accident! I went to see a friend from high school, Andy. I haven't seen him since the fall of 2004. I accompanied him out here when he was job hunting. Well, we had a great time. It looks like we're going to be hanging out regularly hopefully.

Living in south Orange County is spoiling me. Life is so much different down here than the further you go north on the 5 freeway. It gets more and more crowded, more and more dirty. Andy lives in the valley though, on the other side of the Hollywood sign. It's nicer over that way. They actually have a nice place and a yard to boot! Well, a yard by L.A. standards.

It's good to know someone up that way because my goals include living right around there. You see, every major film and television studio is within a few mile radius of where Andy lives. Pretty sweet.

I'm really glad I've chosen the accounting profession. It's one of the few realistic ways to live in California and expect to have a decent quality of life before I'm ready to retire but can't afford to. If I had come out here with a public relations degree, TV production degree or whatever else I was thinking about majoring in, I would be in the poor house. Not that I'm out of it now, it's tight, but I know the future is bright.

Anyways. I almost bought a couch last weekend. Good thing I didn't. I already was given a recliner this week and I'm supposed to be getting a couch and another chair tomorrow. So we'll see.

That's all for now.

I think I'm over the whole cable tv thing. I don't even want it. At least not until the fall season starts. :)
