07/27/2005: "Travel diary"
Song of the Day: All Saints - Pure Shores
Some updates to the travel diary:
Monday - Saw Wedding Crashers. Decided Owen Wilson will marry me. Hot damn is he hot.
Tuesday - Went to Santee Alley in downtown LA for some totally awesome shopping. Santee Alley is where all the shops on Melrose go for their merchandise, and then they jack up the price 500%. It's quite an experience, as the place is run entirely by Mexicans, and as you walk along the endless, crowded alley, they're screaming out price pitches in Spanish, and there's Latin music blaring all over from hidden speakers, and the whole thing feels a bit shady (I'm sure it had nothing to do with the so-obviously-bootlegged DVDs being sold everywhere). Nothing has prices on them, and you simply haggle with the shop keepers. I ended up with to-die-for turquoise shoes for $18, earrings for $3.50, and a fairy necklace to keep my fairy tattoo company for $4. I'll post pictures once I get home.
For dinner, my uncle and I joined two of his friends at a Japanese restaurant that was delicious, but totally Famima!!-ish...bad Engrish everywhere, and the menu had a seafood salad on it that included "scalps". Mmm, scalps, better than Hello Kitty marshmellows any day.
