in da club (no, not that one)

Now that I'm living the hollywood life of beach and stars, I realized I had to at least attempt to workout the movie star way, so I join LA Fitness (not quite as posh as crunch, but it was cheap).

Anyway, I went to my first group class today (Cardio Kickboxing) and the instructor was channeling Billy Blanks... seriously. I think we did the whole Advanced Work-out (just in a different order). Also, this guy was about 20 years older, and more skeezy.

Ikea - swedish for yeah, good luck with that

So I'm in LA and I'm getting settled to start school (today actually, but lets pretend I wrote this last night). Though entering graduate school is a little ritzier that beginning an undergrad program, it still meant that I visited ikea to furnish my apt. I reckon I spent somewhere close to 10 hours trying to put together a few ikea items. On one hand its an impressive business model that they can create instructions ONLY in pictures, and the general meaning can become clear, that they can drive people to a destination location to do work and eat meatballs. On the other hand... 10 hours for a flippin' dresser made of particle board and veneer finish? seriously.
