Work, Goodbye, and Public Warning!

The day started with a venti coffee and the big blue 1 to Venice circle, from where I walked the remaining distance to work.  It was a super-slow day, didn't sell much but cleaned plenty (the place was practically shining when I left!).  I know I mentioned my inability to make favorable 50/50 decisions.. well, I experienced something weird today, something that I do come across every once in a while, but again, it's very uncommon.. I think there's a term for it.. luck? Yeah, that's it! Luck! 

Yesterday, as I was fighting through my shift at Starfishiiie, something started to smell funny. At first I thought it was a customer until I located the source, the radio/CD-player. The smell was that of burned rubber... hmmm, can't possibly be a good sign. I turned it off and the smell went away.. Today I decided to give it a shot anyway (the boredom-factor is high without music AND customers) and guess what, it DIDN'T catch fire, and the building was still intact when I left:). Maybe I don't have such bad luck after all;).

Before I forget it, I would like to make an announcement in form of a Warning;

Do not spend your money on Metromint-cherrymint water! I made that exact mistake today, and it was a horrible experience that I wouldn't wish on even my worst enemy... Even though the name itself kind of gives it away (cherry+mint=nasty flavor-collision?) I got curious, went against my gut-feeling, and bought it, tasted it, and strongly disliked it!  I cannot stress it enough; if you care about your health, do not drink this water! I'm surprised it's FDA approved, and that's judged on taste alone!!! Ewwwwwww...!

After work I met up with Daniel, Dawid, and a friend of theirs, Sanne.  

Daniel is a very dear friend of mine from back home, and he's spent 3 months here in LA dancing.  We went on gift-hunt for his better half, and combined it with some interesting live-performances at Venice beach (Mecca of Crazy People). I wish we would had been able to spend more time together though, he's flying back to Sweden tomorrow.

Bye bye, I'll miss you!!
