Mom had asked me to drive her to return the rental car, and then give her a ride to pick up her new Daewoo station wagon (yeah, I gave her shit for it too), so I got up at 11:50 a.m. and hung out till she needed the ride at 1 p.m.
As I was driving over to the rental car place I shot Aaron Z. a call to see what he was up to and to see if he had any music I could use for a short video I had an idea for. He didn’t have the music, but he would be the audio engineer on the Japanese to Portuguese dubbing project later this week. We chatted for a few minutes before I needed to give mom the ride to her new car.
I waited in the Merc while mom went inside and finished paying for the Daewoo. She got the papers and the keys, and we took off. On the drive home, I shot Lauren a call to confirm our plans for tonight, but I got her voicemail. I left her a quick message.
Back at home, I made myself some grub, and dicked around on the internet for a while before playing some GTA 4 to kill the rest of the afternoon. I felt lazy, but on these really hot days, I just don’t care.
Around 6:30 p.m. I conquered it, shaved, showered, and got ready for my date. Since Lauren had always seen me in shorts and sandals, I chose to wear jeans and sandals so I could mix it up a bit. I finished getting ready, packed the RESET poster in the car, and bombed down to the gas station to fill up.
As I was filling my gas tank, mom and Sam passed me in the new car, they honked and waved and I acted like I didn’t know them (kidding!). Once my tank was full, I got on the road and hauled ass to Lauren’s place so I could actually be there on time. Lauren on the other hand, wasn’t ready when I pulled up, so she met at her apartment complex door, and we went back to her apartment. She gave me the tour of the 2-bedroom (which is astonishingly clean by the way), then I waited as she finished getting dressed. With her ready to go, we headed out of her apartment and down the street to Starbuck’s.
Starbucks was near closing, so after we got our caffeinated drinks, we were able to get about a good 20 minutes of chat time inside the store. When they kicked us out, we were still feeling the urge to talk around, so she took me on a tour of her neighborhood. On our way back to her place we started talking about kissing again, so I didn’t hesitate in planting one on her. We made out for a while, then continued our walk, made out some more, sat on a curb to talk, kissed again (this time for longer), then walked back to my car where we spent the next 2 hours talking about relationships, religion, and sex, then more kissing and holding hands and that stuff.
I was running behind on when I said I’d be at the studio, so around midnight I was able to pull myself away, and say goodnight. I jumped back in the Merc and hauled ass to the studio.
Ace and Geoff were going over the script for the anime they had to dub, and they told me that they got a script that was translated to Spanish from Japanese, and then Ace translated it from Spanish to English. The kicker was that the script really didn’t make sense.
I went back upstairs, finished writing the short film from last night, and then started work on writing a horror short film. This took me the majority of the night. I was fortunate to get some peace tonight because Geoff and Ace had their own problem to deal with from a crashed hard drive (which totally sucked).
About 4:45 a.m., Geoff decided to get some sleep, and I didn’t want to drive home, so we both crashed out on the couches upstairs. Geoff took the big couch, and I ended up with the loveseat.
