The Skinny

Sport time is odd on the west coast. Football games start at 10am, for example. The ACC Tournament games start at 9am, apparently.
Jeff and Kat, two die-hard UNC fans, came over at 9 to watch the Tar Heels demolish Florida State. With beer, of course. I did not partake, but I watched the game.
I went with Jeff and Kat back to their place and we all went to lunch at In-N-Out Burger. The menu there is great: “Double Burger, burger, cheeseburger, fries (one size), drinks, milkshakes”. That’s it. No speciality designer burgers, no chicken, no multiple side options. Plus, we saw them making fries from actual potatoes. The food was about what you’d expect, and made me feel like blech most of the day.
After lunch we went to the La Brea Tar Pits, which are conveniently not located on La Brea Avenue. That was pretty cool. While we were there, I got a call from my Aunt Lorrie asking for computer purchasing advice for my cousin Greg. It was fun explaining where I was.
Phillip was the lead in a USC student film, and the screening was last night. A very interesting group of short films. They had to be less than 6 minutes, no sync sound and some other constraints placed by the professors. These were grad students, so they were very creative in working around the challenges.
After that, we met my friend Sue from San Diego for dinner, and then she and I went out for a drink and to catch up. Very good to see her again! She’s doing well and still loves living in San Diego.
