soooo after this little update i'm gonna go to a local bar that was started by a dude from boston...all boston themed and whatnot.

but today! what a day. see, i think the good thing is that i am pretty flexible. i headed out later in the day today after getting taco bell (i know, i'm all the way in california and i'm eating friggin' taco bell) and i drove on over to the paramount studios (got the address online) to see the place and maybe see who i could talk to. i arrived and realized that it's not gonna work that way. sooo, i wanted to call the la film school to set up a tour but i didn't feel like pulling over. sooo i stopped by the local radio shack to pick up a bluetooth headset (it's illegal in california to drive with phone in hand). i have bought crappy ones before so i said to myself 'luke, you're gonna spend a little extra to get good quality.' and i did. and, using it, i gave la film school a call to set up a 2:30 tour. soon i was parking and entering the modern style building. i was the only person on the tour. the place is pretty great and i was really excited to see all of their equipment and technology. only thing about the school is that a: i don't need it to get somewhere in the entertainment business, all i need is experience and a demo reel, two things i can do in the time between now and the may/june. and b: it's waaaaay too expensive. $41,720. for 12 months. not going there, thanks.

afterwards i called my mom and talked on the bluetooth for a while and because i have it and i drove around doing so. somehow, almost inexplicably, i ended up entering griffith park. now, griffith park is a nice park that has lots of trails to walk on and climb and it's right near the hollywood sign and the view is fantastic. the funny thing is when i was talking to Sarah yesterday about sights to see she specifically mentioned griffith park and the hiking and whatnot. so i guess i subconsciously headed there. i headed up the paths, just up and up and up like i did on the road yesterday... and the sun was setting so i took out my camera and took a bunch of really nice pictures.

here are some!




and this one here, which i set up so i could be in it...haha


and what the heck, another panoramic shot.


time for some dinner (Sarah's making me pasta!! :) :) ) then off to the bar maybe

tomorrow i'm planning on waking up early and going to play some basketball then drive up towards malibu and then maybe the zoo!? also hopefully meet with a few people. then at night i'm gonna try to go to the lakers v. hornets game.
