Descanso Gardens

Hahaha okay it’s Tuesday and this entry is about Saturday. Oh well. I got rid of my blog for the time being because I got tired of it, so now I have … livejournal, greatestjournal, allaboutmylife, and this [Diaryland] to use. ^_^ (Wroundhouse as well, if I want, but I don’t think I want. >.>) So I think I’ll use this more.

Saturday the matrilineal ladies went for a day out. ^___^ First we went to some restaurant, I don’t know the name. I had “The Weekend Wrap.” It was goood. But I think I’ll go back to the quesadilla [sp?] they have there. ^^;; Nothing beats avocado, man. XP

Then we went to Descanso Gardens and went through the rose gardens and through the red wood area then … yeah I won’t give a tour thing. O_o But this time we went to the Boddy House and looked at paintings (which I thought were okay, although I liked the b&w&blue snow painting) and this one room which gave the history of Boddy (gah, forgot his first name) and the beginnings of Descanso gardens. The c_(flower which I forgot the name of which we have on the side-camellia?) plants came from a man name F. M. Uyematsu. XD He sold them when he had to go to camp. Sad. But he had a good stock. :)

The refreshments ladies in the Japanese garden weren’t there (closed December and January; “Oh, we’re one day too early.”) so we went to the front/side and got soft drinks/Snapples/water there. SM00 and Noelle got brownies. :9

Then there was a camellia (???) show in that hall so we looked at that then we looked through the gift store then we went back to Auntie G’s house and had lemon thingie (my brain died), sushi, and ocha/coffee. I also had a piece of fudge. XD Fuuuudge! Then everyone went home. Oh yeah. Aunties found food in Jichan’s freezer that was dated some time in 1990. XO Yegh. The latest was last year. Forgot which month. :b

I got my wallscroll though! Yay! I put it up in place of my Ed wallscroll. Then put my Ed scroll on the door and moved the Sakura Shinguuji scroll behind the door. I need to get better string to hang up my Lain scroll. :( Looks very very very bad.

Let’s see … what did I do today … I got my glasses adjusted. Now they sit on top of my nose and don’t slide down! Yay! I had to do the laundry so that Mum would take me to the optometrist (since I still don’t know how to get there u.u;;) and help me clean my car (ick! it got black bird poop all over it on Sunday! ;.;). Then I read the first half of the econ chapter and wrote down the terms. ^^;; Then I got tired of reading so I rearranged my small bookshelf. Took down half my Star Wars novels; they’re sitting in a box in the middle of my room. I need to fit them in my closet somehow. But now I have space for more manga! XDDD

After dinner Hidek bugged Mum and Daddy to take him to Amoeba Music. So the whole family went. There was lots of pouting on Hidek’s part. ^.^; He wanted to bring his friends, but Mum said no, this time would be family only. So … we drove along Sunset Boulevard! XD (No, I, as a native Los Angelino, do not get around the city much.) In Hollywood. On a Saturday night. o.o Looots of traffic. Looots of abrupt braking, too. -.- I got carsick. So. Tonight I saw three different tattoo parlors and three different buildings with “Girls Girls Girls” on the front. :b Ooh, at Amoeba Music I saw this girl, and she was wearing this skirt, and it was … I automatically think, “ballerina skirt,” but it wasn’t really … it covered her thighs. I thought it was soooo cool. ^-^ In all its pouffy glory. XD

Then came home and put up lj layout.

I downloaded three fonts tonight. And deleted almost 20. (They were the cutesy round ones I got when I first got into downloading fonts.) I got … uhh … Misplaced, Lakestreet, and … I can’t remember the third. Cut n Paste. Yeah. I really really wanted to get Dark Theater, but it’s a broken link. -_- Arrgh. Ooh, also got Sacrifical. :D Niiice.
