"Are we going to the Valley?!"

Today I did a very bad thing: I went to Universal Citywalk (which could be considered a bad thing per se, but hey, let me be a tourist for once) and ate THIS:



Yes, that's a guacamole hot dog with onion rings. In my defense, I think it was the first time in my whole life that I've eaten onion rings, my cholesterol is way below the normal level and I've lost weight in the last weeks (my capri jeans are sooo baggy right now), I'm not gonna die if I eat junk food once. But my stomach was shocked and I couldn't eat anything else after that. I think I'm gonna treat myself to a big homemade salad tomorrow, yes.

Anyway, I bought new shoes! Look!



They're pretty and extremely comfortable, I love them. <3

And this is dedicated to the people who saw Scott's play. You know why. :D



Also, as I was about to leave "M83" by Midnight City (aka one of the songs which were played during "No way around but through") started playing. Of course I stayed a little bit longer. :)

I just want to go down that street for kicks...or go near it and be like " where the fuck is Cahuenga?!" too bad no one will be with me to say "you're on Cahuenga!"

When I saw the sign I just knew I had to take a picture and post it here on LJ. Even if I had to sort of stand in the middle of the street to do it and I had to time it right so I wouldn't be run over by a car. :P

timing is everything and it looks like your timing was great.

Cahuenga! It does that thing :D

I did the tourist thing at Citywalk but I did not eat a guacamole hotdog. Looks interesting and maybe something I would try making at home 'cause guacamole is yum.

How's your course going? How's LA? I miss it!

Cahuenga is the best in-joke ever! :D

Guacamole is always good! And it doesn't look like there was much of it in the pic, but there was A LOT on that hot dog. Yum.

The course is going well! We've started handing in actual pages, I'm waiting to see what the teacher thinks of them, eep! Are you back in Australia? Our teacher is actually in Australia for a series of lectures right now, she'll be back just in time for our next class.

Yay! So glad the course is going well.

Did you make it through the earthquake okay?

That's cool that your teacher was in Australia - it must have been a quick visit for her. I'm actually in Hawaii at the moment :).

I didn't even feel the earthquake, I was asleep! D'oh.

Ooh, you're in Hawaii! Did you happen to catch a glimpse of our favourite task force? :)

LOL! I think I'd rather sleep through it!

I haven't! But then I wouldn't even know where to begin looking. I find out where they are after the fact - I've already missed Scott and Alex at the beach thing, and I missed DDK and Grace filming right near me! I'm here for a little bit yet so hopefully I'll catch a glimpse even if I'd be too gobsmacked to say anything :).

Well, luckily it was only a light one.

I'll keep my fingers cross for you! :)

Junk food can be sooooo bloody good... All nice things are forbidden or make you fat. It's annoying. XD

The hot dog was good, but the onion rings were a little too much. I love onions, but fried? No, thanks. :P

[identity profile] polarforscherin.livejournal.com 2012-08-09 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
I like onions but not too many of them and I always dice them into small pieces. The taste is good but they are not nice to chew on. XD

LOL - my sister and I were just 'repeating' those lines the other day when we were on a road that "does that thing" like Cahuenga does.

Universal City Walk is so much fun! Love walking around all of the stores and having fun taking pictures.

To use an Italian expression, Universal Citywalk is a total americanata (http://dobianchi.com/2009/06/22/americanata-mondavi-in-italy/). :D

Guess that's a good way to describe it! Of course I was curious and checked out the meaning..thanks for the link.

Eeee!! Thanks for the sweet NWABT flashbacks!!

And no wonder your tummy was in shock. I don't think I've ever had a guac hotdog in my life, and me and onions don't agree. I hope it tasted good at least!

Cute shoes!

The hotdog was good (mmh, guacamole) and I love onions, but I'm not used to eating fried things. Fries every now and then are okay, but onion rings sent my stomach into shock!

I LOVE those shoes!!!!!!!

But where in the f*** is Cahuenga? ROFL!

We're on it! It does that thing! :D

Thank you, I love those shoes. :3
