A brand new computer arrived by UPS today just as I was heading back in from my morning jog. Sam had mentioned he’d be out all day but came home an hour early after he checked online and realized the comp had arrived.
Watching him open those packages up reminded me of a kid on Christmas morning. Notice that everything is black and it’s a PC instead of a Mac. He moved the Mac to his office.
I realized then that I was screwed! I’ve offered to pay for gas and his admission fee as long as he drove me into LA for a WB studio tour. It’s not too far from Irvine time wise, he’s got a couple of short days where he ends at like noon or something. A resounding NO was the answer and now that he’s got this new toy, I’m really screwed.
I hear that the public transportation is risky. It’s got a real stigma attached to it, which is why Cali has this whole smog/traffic jam/road rage problem! Also, the different counties have different bus service that doesn’t necessarily work with each other.
His compromise is to take me to Disneyland, a place I had no intention of going to. He used his Cali Driver’s License to buy a special residents pass for 2 days and then proceeded to snatch that ticket right out of my hand implying that I’m not going to be the one using that second day! The whole time was a bit of a downer for me, not because of the site but because of the company.
So, I asked if he wanted to head out for a bite to eat, and he pretty much shot that one down too. No, I have no money, I’m a poor student, blah, blah, blah…
This is when I decided to go for an extended walk to CRY!!! Walking around campus, I ran into the Senior Art Exhibition. Totally cheered me right up! Watching some hip hop performances with mostly Chinese dancers was really strange! Some modern art performances with a guy in a steel box pounding the walls with a sledgehammer…
Tomorrow, I’m renting a car!
