L.A. Traffic is HORRIBLE!
Well, today I woke up a little bit late... after getting the dogs up & ready and getting myself up and ready I headed to The Grove. I returned Lulu's sunglasses (yes, I said Lulu's sunglasses) because they didn't fit right on her. Instead I exchanged for a pink ribbed tank top that says "Princess" I would post a picture but I think I've been posting too many pet photos recently. I walked around and did a little bit of shopping... but I'm pretty sick of The Grove (Richard's favorite weekend spot) so I headed over to Kitson. The store has become annoyingly overcrowded nowadays... not to mention there were a ton of papparazi just standing outside (waiting for a celeb to walk in?) Who knows.
Anyhow it was at that point that I made a bad decision that punished me in the car for a total of about 3 hours. I decided to meet some friends at Fritto Misto over in Santa Monica for a late lunch... this was about 4pm. Since I was on Robertson, I figured I'll just take Santa Monica Blvd. all the way to Santa Monica... it took me 1 hour and 15 minutes. It took me that long to drive 9.96 miles... Mapquest estimates the drive to be only 15 minutes!
And THEN... since we left at around 5:15pm we figured we had enough time to drive to Barneys before they closed at 7pm. Wrong again. It took until 7:15pm to get there! Almost 2 hours to drive 10 miles??? Not to mention Barneys was already closed by the time we got to BH!! ARRGGHH.
Ridiculous.
Well, at least today I had the chance to pick up the iTrip for my iPod. I've gone to the Apple store 3 times before to try to buy one but each time the salesperson would always talk me out of it. "Too hard to find a station" "Reception sucks" "Doesn't work that great" etc etc.
I tried it out today on the default 87.9 and it worked great! I was stubborn and decided to get one anyway because my radio has pretty good reception and I've been scoping out for blank stations whenever I'm out and about (yess.... see that's how bad traffic is around here!!!) So now I'm happy.
