Breakfast and Movies


One good thing about going to a really large church, is that I went to church last night on Saturday. That left my Sunday free for other things.

I met two friends for breakfast at Mel's Diner in Hollywood. It was weird, I was in a fog about what to eat. I ended up ordering Steak and Eggs. Something I never get.

As we talked the topic turned to Vitamins and Supplements.
One of my friends said a doctor once told his mother that she would just pee out her vitamins.
And so his mother said "So that must mean that I pee out all the medications you give me as well."
I think that shut up that doctor.

My plan was to go get my hair trimmed before I went to the movies. But I didn't have time. So forget that.

I did stop off at Big Lots and the 99 Cent Only store.
A friend of mine discovered this new thing.
You know how when you burn a candle, the burning wick is a fire hazard ?
Well, she bought one of those coffee cup warmers - they are like mini hot plates.
You get a small scented candle, in a glass jar.
Place the candle thats in the glass on the coffee cup warmer, and turn it on.
The candle melts from the bottom, and you can smell the scent.
And you don't have to worry about the little flame thats burning.
So I stopped in a few stores, looking for a cheap coffee cup warmer .
I didn't find it.

I drove to the "Laemmle's Music Hall" theatre on Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills.
My plan was to spend the afternoon at the movies.

The first movie was "Everything is Illuminated" . Starring
Elijah Wood as a man who goes back in search of the woman who saved his grandfather. I especially liked the direction by Liev Schreiber .

Then I had a good 45 minutes to kill in between movies.
Well, there is nothing around that area at all. No coffee shop of any kind.
So I went to Sav-Ons and did some shopping. Mainly cosmetics.
Oh, and I found the coffee cup warmer .
And I took some pictures of the surrounding buildings.
Hmmmm, I forgot to take a picture of the movie theatre.

Then for my second movie I saw "Thumbsucker" .
I mainly wanted to see it because Keanu Reeves was it in. He played an orthodontist.
I really liked this movie too.

So that was my day of breakfast and movies. As I drove home, there was a light rain, and it was cold.
Fall weather in Los Angeles.
