LA and Arousing the mind of will
Since Friday I've been reducing my smokes. Friday I only smoked 2; Saturday I smoked 4; and today 3 so far. It's interesting: I feel better already. I think my body is more relaxed, and I think mentally I'm in a state of aroused will power, and hence I feel calmer. Probably nothing to do with cutting down on my smokes though! But if you think about it, I've been used to having a smoke every hour for the past 9 years. And then suddenly, I deprive myself of a smoke for over 5 hours or so. That's got to do something to the mind and body,eh. Anyway, I hope I can keep it up during work too...
I am now sooooooooooooooooo excited about going to LA. Even though we've decided not to do Death Valley - it takes 6 hours just to the entrance from LA - and go to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park instead, it's going to be great. Naomi and I had a big LA meeting yesterday and talked about our plan. On the first day we're going to hire a car and drive into Hollywood, have "In and Out" hamburger for lunch and go to Beverly Hills Centre. Late afternoon we'll go to the Beach Towns, and drive down from Malibu to Santa Monica and then Venice Beach. There we'll watch the sunset over the Pacific and then have dinner - at a steakhouse maybe. The next day we'll get up early and drive to Palm Springs, go shopping in the outlet store, and then take the cable car up the mountain for a view of the desert. After that we'll drive to Joshua Tree National Park and see the sunset over the desert and hopefully some animals. Then we'll drive back to LA and have dinner somwhere cool. Our last day, we'll explore more of LA...not sure what yet!!
Just a week to go...
And we went and got out loads of music to listen to in LA on my ipod - Pavement, Lemonheads, Bright Eyes, Aqualung, Ben Folds Five and Ash. That should do!
