Gorilla BBQ

A was watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Channel the other day and saw a segment on this place called Gorilla Barbeque. So I got up early (at least for me), and we headed 20 minutes out of the city towards the ocean. We ended up in this little town  by the sea called Pacifica, at a bright red trailer in the middle of a parking lot with a line of people weaving through the parked cars; the smell of bbq wafting around us. HAHA It was fab!

After a plate of huge ribs, beans and rice, mac n' cheese, a corn bread muffin and corn on the cob (no, I wasn't able to eat the whole thing at once..I had it for dinner too hahah), we headed to the beach for a little while.

 

 

The beach was a bit cold, but it was so pretty! I was kind of shocked by the big waves...I don't normally see waves like that in LA lol

Food for Thought

This is interesting Mlle. Doré: "*A photo of me that I like! It’s a miracle! I hate all photos of myself, and the worst of it is that I have this HORRIBLE theory about people who hate photos of themselves. It’s that they think they’re a lot more attractive than they really are. Voilà. So I have this incredible admiration for people who are comfortable with their image. Now leave me to my self-proclaiming sublimitude."

I don't know if I want to believe this...but it sounds a bit right LOL

Reality

I haven't written anything in so long because I seem to have this continual writer's block. It's now been a little more than 2 months, and time is starting to run out. I have to find another apartment in a month, and a job to pay for that apartment. I'm praying my internship will lead to a full-time position, but I don't really know what is going on with that. I do love my part-time job though, the people are great! I've never really worked in a restaurant where everyone was really fun to be with. But only a few shifts a week isn't cutting it...unfortunately. I need to find a second paying job. I love this city too much to give it up. Plus, going home is really not an option. I don't think I can function in LA. So, as it has been, and it shall continue to be, job hunting takes up most of my time. sigh.

I guess it's time to get to work...
