Roxy Blue and the Handful!! @ Bar 11

 Went home to San Diego this weekend and hung out with my friend Chesca to check out her brother's band Roxy Blue and the Handful. If you haven't heard of them before, you can check them out on ITunes. This was a really fun experience. I've always loved live music and concerts are just soooo much better when you have a good view of the band. The bar was pretty cool. It's a definite hole-in-the-wall type of place with a quirky bartender. 

Her brother Dez will be having a birthday party here on June 25th for his other bands' CD release. Sounds like it's going to be an amazing show. Although you can't tell from the pictures here but he's a pretty freaking awesome guitarist!! 


Cool wall of different pages from various magazines.


Yeah....this one was too gross to NOT take a picture of.


Roxy the lead singer of course....gotta love her raspy voice

Griffith Park

I went hiking on saturday two weeks ago with my boss Eric. It was a short hike lasting about three miles with lots of cool views of Los Angeles. 
 Just started the hike



 The famous sign!!

 From further away....
 The city and Griffth Park Observatory

 At the top!!
 I have to say that the weather was really great and the hike was beautiful! I'm excited to do it again and check out some other trails.
 Can you see the lizard?


 View from the very top!
 Some yoga class and there's my boss!
 Since I've never been here we went to go check it out really quick
 I don't think many people know that this is actually a sun dial!


To finish off the day I thought I'd go treat myself to some yummy pho! Man I love eating this stuff! It was one of my more productive weekends!

Shit.

Guess what guys? I am gonna fail my first class ever!! Okay maybe at LEAST a D. I should've dropped this damn class.  I thought I was gonna have enough time to study but when I also had to study for Staff this week that was a no go....I took the opportunity to go out on Saturday with a friend to see other parts of LA and that was fun and long. We watched Bridesmaids...I actually think I might go watch it again. It was soooo funny and nothing about it was cliche or super corny! I loved the Irish cop...you fall in love with him and the main character. He was a really sweet guy...too cute!

So this class wasn't a complete waste. I made a friend from it and hopefully we can hang out after this class is over. I hope her pregnancy gets better. She knows a lot and we get along really well. It's taken me a long time to make some friends out here and I'm excited to meet more.

I haven't been blogging since I'm so freaking lazy. I just can't find motivation!! But here I am now...since I'm still waiting for my laundry to dry I think I'll upload some photos and catch up....

I just wanted to complain real quick haha. I'm planning on getting certified and yeah....more to follow hopefully.
