after5's Journal: Seņor Senior Senior

Spent the day hanging around in downtown LA. We went to drop off Dena so that she could take her Real Estate Exam thingy, so while she was in there, we went to the Fashion District to look at all the good bargains.

Well, I must say, if I was a female between the ages of 12-34, then I would have been in heaven. As I was not, it wasn't the greatest thing since sliced bread really, but if any young ladies out there are looking for prom dresses for ten dollars Just take the 110 down to Olympia and Find Sentee, and you'll be in heaven.

They also have lingerie jeans, toys, watches, sun glasses, leather goods, etc. Oh, and rugs, carpets, blankets, comforters. You want it, some guy will have it for four dollars.

We think Dena passed, too.

Also saw the new LA cathedral. Very sleek and modern. The entire thing is built to withstand an 8.38 on the richter scale. So naturally the entire thing floats on springs. Although my father and I did notice some cracks in the walls. So we pondered how a building that can move 27" in any direction could settle, oh well. Some of life's mysteries are better left unsolved.

Like why women who are two hundred pounds want to wear spaghetti strapped tank tops. It just boggles my mind.

Oh, tamale update, after all was said and done we made a little over four hundred tamales. Yeah, when we like to eat, we like to eat.

testing out the spring coefficients...

yeah...so building on springs can settle. Like in Colorado with NORAD. the building can move quite a bit b/c it's completely surrounded with springs and it can settle, they just have really high coefficients, and so it's close to inifinty as far as the building's settling goes, but when they get a low yeild nuke or an earthquake, it can move around some and so it's close to alright...

that's more than just one hot tamale (Meg: lame!)

quick hi and stuff
