As you read in my last bog, I was planning on going to Hollywood for a taping of "Let's Make a Deal". Well, then again maybe not. When we got to San Clemente things went down hill (and not just because the I-5 goes down). At first, I was starting to feel a little uneasy, so I stopped at the Mickey D's at Ave. Pico. I used the restroom and got there just in time as things in my body hit the eject button. So we turned around and came back home. We got back to the house around 8a and then Mom & I went to bed. I went to bed and didn't get up until 3p, it was a nice long rest. So I wish I could tell you about "Let's Make a Deal" but, I, just like the rest of everyone that wasn't there, will have to wait until the episode comes out on TV.
PS, tomorrow will be 2 months until I move into the dorms at CSUB.

Can you tell the truth?
Well, on Sunday I will find out if someone can. I say this because I'm heading back up to Hollywood to watch a taping for "The Moment of Truth". I'm not going with the same group (entirely) as I did on Monday. This time the group will be Mary O., Julie O., mom and myself. This time we are also makeing a pitstop at Del Mar so that I may recieve from the fine folks at DMTC a pair of beer glasses.
More on Monday....
More on Monday....

Hollywood with a side of Annoyance
So Mom and I got up at the ungodly hour of 5am. We left the house around 5:30 and made our way up to Sarah's house in Menifee. It took us about 90 minutes to get there, and we were actually running early (a good thing considering that we were going to have to deal with LA morning rush hour traffic). So after waiting for Sarah and her mom get ready, we left her house around 7:45. So we head up the 215 and attempt to get off so that we can take the 74 to get over onto the 15. We took the 15 to the 10 West all the way to the 101 North to Hollywood.
After we left Sarah's house, it took Sarah's mom a whooping 10 minutes before she started complaining, and once it started, IT DIDN'T FINISH UNTIL I FELL ASLEEP ON THE WAY HOME. So first it was it was too hot (seemed comfortable for 9am to me), then she was snoring, once we finally got to the parking structure, they complained about my driving through the structure (as a point of reference, there were no cars on the level, and I went straight through what would be parking spots to a parking spot that was close to the elevators). We finally begin our Magellan route to get to the line for "Are you smarter than a 5Th grader?" line. We start on the wrong side of the building so we walk 3/4 around the CBS Television City lot. We come across the "Price is Right" line, and then continue around the the front gate of CBS TV city. Sarah & I get to the line and about 5 minutes later the mom's finally get there. We get inside and then wait and wait and wait. Then at 11:30am the audience coordinators come out and tell the audience that they need to go to the bathroom because we would not be able until at least 3pm.
Finally we got inside the studio (which is much, much smaller than what it looks like on TV) and upbeat music to get the audience pumped up is playing. Now after the Storm game a few weeks ago, I knew that Sarah's mom doesn't like modern (1990's to today) music. So as soon as I heard the music, I knew there was going to be more complaining. Sure enough, as soon as we sat down (in the of row of the balcony) Sarah's mom (who was sitting to my left, with Sarah to her left, and my mom to the right of me) leaned over to me and said "They can shut this crap off."
After the taping, which ended around 3:30p or so, we waited for my mom to go to the bathroom (no problem, since we hadn't been able to go since 11:30a). Sarah & her mom both said that they needed to go but since the line was so long, they didn't go...keeping in mind that there were a set of porta-potties WITH NO LINE...no go, they didn't go. Instead they wait until we get back to the parking garage. We leave the garage, and Sarah tells me to go back the way that we came in...well as I was about to turn onto Melrose to head east and back to the 101. I see a 76 gas station with a store. I stop in the store so that I can buy drinks for my mom and I. As I made an exaggerated U-turn to go back onto Melrose (mainly cause I knew that Melrose & the 101 crossed, which they do), Sarah I could see out of the corner of my eye was getting rather ticked off at me, cause I was not following her directions. A couple of blocks later, I saw a subway restaurant, which was great for me, cause I was REALLY REALLY hungry!!! I pulled into the parking lot, Sarah went in with her mom, and then her mom came out was eventually told me that she was going across the street to a Del Taco to use the restroom. My mom went in to ge the sandwich that we ended up sharing. While they were in the shop, I called Matty to complain about the bitchyness of the females not related to me in the car. I also called my friend Tommy who now calls Vegas home, but grew up in the LA area. I asked him other than the 101 to the 10 how could I get to the Inland Empire (the 101 to the 10 route would be horrible that time of day). Tommy told me that if I took a route that he laid out for me, I would be able to knock off at least a 1/2 hour, obviously I took his route. We had gotten onto the 210 freeway, I was falling asleep behind the wheel, not wanting to get into an accident (and since we were in the backup of another accident), I asked my mom to swap spots with me. As most of you know, I'm very picky when it comes to who I let drive my car, very rarely is it anyone other than me! So when the backup stopped for more than just a second, my mom (who was sitting right behind me) switched spots. I fell asleep and mom drove the rest of the way to Sarah's house.
From what I heard, I was saved from more complaints. We eventually dropped Sarah off at her house, and her mom off at her house in La Mesa. making our way over to our house, where I can now get a good nights sleep. On the way home, it was looking like we might go back up on Friday when Larry The Cable Guy is supposed to be on the show, but after thinking about my work schedule this week, I decided against it. So since I'm really tired, I will say good night, and talk to everyone later.
