I had a visit from my friend who lives in Chicago. He came here for a week. We did the whole tourist thing. We saw Beverly Hills, Malibu, Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, Huntington Gardens, Getty Museum, Old Town Pasadena, Bel Air, Downtown, Mullholland Drive, Hollywood at Highland, Walk of Fame, Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood Sign, and an entire day in Long Beach with a tour of the RMS Queen Mary Boat.

I have been going now to study with a new astrologer which Lynn Rodden trained with. Her name is Gloria Stein. There is a group of 5-7 that come ever week and go through some exercises in chart reading. Its about hour and half on tuesdays. I am enjoying it so far. Yesterday we did the chart of Jane Russell, for those older you should remember she got famous doing bra commercials for larger breasted/figured women. Hence her information was very interesting to analyze. I am always looking for more people who find an interest in astrology. If anyone reading this has studied it or has interest in it, please email me. Today I went to see my therapist. It helps me to talk through my few life issues with a third party which I can trust. I do not have real problems at the moment really, other than determining what I should do about my home life (roomie and such). I think its stable for now. He has not talked to me in days and assume if he changed his mind about me living in his house, he would tell me. I am unsure though. I am just going day by day and when time comes, I will find my own apartment. My time frame is 6 months to a year.

Flea Market





Yesterday Edna and I went to the Melrose High Flea Market. I actually have never been there. It was mostly just junk. I did see some things the sisters would have liked and was tempted to buy a few knick knacks. But I was good and did not spend any money. I am trying my best to save money for my trip next month to san fran. Today I am spending the day in Long Beach. I had the need to get far away from west hollywood. 🙂

Novice Tea


I went down to Long Beach on sunday to learn a little sister history and get some make up tips from the girls. I did a really nice job. We had food then went out on the town for ministry. I ran into the Toaster crew at Choice, formerly Hamburger Marys. Tammie Brown was hosting bingo. She is just a bundle of energy. I cant imagine what would happen if you gave her ritalin!

Monday and Tuesday





I met my friend Ed yesterday for coffee and lunch in studio city as he teaches at the college over in the valley. It was interesting crowd but a little too industry for me. Ed even spotted the host of Fear Factor (Joe Rogan) with his bimbo and kid (hmmm). Last night I attended one of the slowest ‘Play’ nights in years. It was super cold (by LA standards) and they still insisted on charging a cover…for what? no show and no crowd? I just work there and do not say anything. But sometimes I wonder what Dennis is thinking. He has managed there for years. I would think he has to have learned a little business knowledge. I dunno sometimes.
