"the little things."

i'm definitely loving this weekend.

i didn't how thursday night was going to turn out but
it went well by watching the midnight showing of wanted
with fred, fiona, tiff, dennis, matt, austin, and sylvie.
amazing movie...i highly recommend it.
spent most of friday with meagan going to the getty villa in malibu.
it's such a beautiful place in such a beautiful environment.
great art, great conversations...a great time indeed.
went over to santa monica to chill.
book hunting at third street promenade
and beachfront contemplating among other random activities.
had dinner at little tokyo and finished off with cefiore.

this would have been the end of my friday night...
but life is unexpected and i have freakin' awesome friends
who share my flair for the random and adventurous.
matt, tiff, fred, and i went over to newport to
chill with dennis and get some midnight snacks at jane's corndogs.

seriously...malibu, santa monica, and la during the day and newport beach at night?!
only in the summertime i suppose.

i just came back from the best breakfast i've had all year and the best one in recent memory. after months of waiting and planning...rachel and i ate at riverside grill. funny thing...i woke up not feeling well so i told rach if we could raincheck it. to my surprise...she's on her way there. due to miscommunication she didn't know i was supposed to pick her up at her place...we don't really meet up anywhere to chill or eat. so i fought my morning slump and forced my weary bones to meet up with her. i must say...it was damn worth it. i loved the place...the service is great and the staff is so chill. and yes...the food helped cement the fact that rachel had just brought a new love in to my life with the riverside grill. i'm definitely coming back for many more times to come.

this isn't the weekend i expected...it's so much better thus far.
more proof that the best things in life are unexpected.

before i end...here's something random and interesting.
on the way to newport last night we played an
ipod shuffle game in which we ask the ipod questions
and it answers back with a song on shuffle.

i asked what song would describe my next date/relationship/pursuit/interest/whatever
and it replied with this song...

the little things you do to me are taking me over.
i wanna show you everything inside of me,
like a nervous heart that is crazy beating.
my feet are stuck here against the pavement.
i wanna break free.
i wanna make it closer to your eyes.
get your attention before you pass me by.
back up, back up...take another chance.
don't you mess up, mess up.
i don't wanna lose you.
wake up, wake up...
this ain't just a thing that you give up, give up.
don't just say that i'd be better off,
better off sitting by myself wondering,
if i'm better off, better off without you girl.

don't just leave me hanging on.
don't just leave me hanging on....
