cmk418Well, I was all set to go to church this morning, even got 2/3 of the way there, but transportation was a little bit difficult today due to the L.A. Marathon. I really wish sometimes that this city would space its events out a bit - last week was the difficulties with the Oscars and this week was the Marathon. Guess I should be glad I don't live downtown.
Anyhoo, I didn't make it to church, instead I turned around and went to the Farmers Market. I was going to try to get out of there without having to make a trip to the ATM, but then I saw the heirloom tomatoes and all hope for that went out the window. Heirloom tomatoes are my downfall. I also got a pint of really nice strawberries and a bouquet of orange tulips. I haven't figured out what it is that makes me do this, but I gravitate toward orange flowers - tulips, daisies, birds of paradise. It's strange because I really don't like orange anywhere else - there are no splashes of orange in my apartment, anywhere and I like it like that. But flowers, always in orange.
Patience is a virtue, but I hate having to wait two weeks before I can see baseball on my TV again. I am really ready for the season to start. Also, I checked online and the L.A. Erotic Fair isn't until June. I thought it was a lot earlier last year, but I might be wrong. It felt earlier. I hate that the Erotic Museum closed. It was one of the most fun places in this town. At least for me.
There was a weird little sidebar that was in the paper the guy wrapped my tulips in. It said that billiards players were more prone to using illegal substances than players in any other sports. At first I was thrown by this, because of all the sports, billiards would seem to be the one where you wouldn't need to use steroids, but then I kept reading and found out that alcohol was on the list (it did get taken off). Then it all made sense. Sort of. I would think alcohol use would be more advantageous to anyone other than the player imbibing, but maybe that's just me... How can people play pool and not drink? That's like bowling without cigarettes. Or beer.
