that good old air mattress

having got our air con problems mostly worked out (as long as we dont run any small appliances in the kitchen or watch tv, it doesnt blow the breaker) the living space of our apartment feels great. cooling the bedrooms has always been hard because of the layout of the apartment as well as the fact that the little window unit can only do so much against the unstoppable forces of heat in the valley. usually the temperature drops enough at night that it is comfortable to have the windows open and fans going in the bedrooms. the past couple nights have been hot. our roomie fran is in vegas with the other proteges yesterday today and tomorrow.

yesterday after work i took the subway down to hollywood and highland (only a little scary by myself) and went shopping. i went to the costume stores and wig stores looking for the perfect outfit for this weekends rock n roll baby shower. i found some good stuff, but nothing in my price range (as awesome as a michael jackson wig would be... $40??? its not like im going to get multiple uses out of this thing). i decided that instead of dressing as my favorite rock star, it is going to be easier (a little bit more fun) to dress as a groupie. so i got a little tank top and some cheesy jewelry and im good to go. the tank top is actually something i would wear again, although not with my short jean skirt and leggings with glitter on them. intrigued? the party is saturday so check on sunday for pictures... :)

when i got home i cooked dinner (tuna steaks... yum!) and we went to two of my favorite stores. bevmo and vallarta. yay. then, since fran i gone, we blew up the air mattress and slept in the living room. i actually got cold last night. it was a wonderful feeling - waking up at 4:30 am shivering. i think we are sleeping out there again tonight. it brought back good memories of camping out on the floor of kevin and nikkis apartment when we first moved out here. gt gt.
