Cigarette Mouth

I have a bad taste in my mouth. I don't know why I started smoking again... It leaves such an awful aftertaste.  You feel cool while you are smoking, then afterwards you just feel bleh..haha.  I guess when I started feeling better about me health, I felt well enough to smoke. One of the main reasons I quit smoking was my ever present, self diagnosed panic disorder. Even though I don't even come close to what I used to smoke, I am still going to try to maintain my nicotine intake.  So I type this entry with dry mouth and semi-bad breath.

DATING

Last night I went on my first date since Kim and I broke up.  I am not looking for anything seriousness by any means...but it is nice to go out on dates I guess... and it was a great time!  This was with Stephanie, the cute girl I met at Barneys.  We began the night at the 101 Cafe.  A really nice diner off of Franklin.  Pleasant atmosphere, littered with Los Feliz hipsters for some reason.. The dinner was a continuation of a giant food themed day ( first being the pancakes, see pic below).  Stephanies' grilled chicken sandwich was almost comical how big it was.  It was pretty much a whole chicken on a bun.  I got a turkey burger with some out of this world mashed potatoes.  Delicious.  Afterwards, we headed over to the UCB theatre.  We had a little time to kill before the show, so we checked out a little bookstore that seemed really cool, and I am sure I will be paying another visit to soon.   The show at UCB was called "See You Next Tuesday".  It is a free show they do every tuesday night.  I love going to that theatre because it is so intimate and they always have at least "good" comics.  Last night they had several different acts, including; Eddie Peppertone ( Last Comic Standing) , Rob Hubel ( Human Giant), and a special drop in performance from Janine Garofalo.  I got in some good hardy laughs throughout the evening.  It was a late show that ran till 1am.  Needless to say, I was quite sleepy after the show.  So, Overall a great night of food, comedy, and good company.  But I am certain my dating life from this point will remain casual until an undisclosed time.haha.

FRIENDSHIP

I was told by a certain friend yesterday that they need to take a break from me... It is hard because this is the person I hung out with more than anyone out here.  I guess I understand the reasoning, but it doesn't make it easier.  This was my firs Friend "dump"/trial seperation.. it's a little weird.

Well, I am completely exausted. 2 nights of little sleep takes a toll on you.  The day has just begun, and I will be zombie walking through this one...
