Waking up in LA

9am (LA time)

It's morning in LA! Weather is just perfect in the morning. But I can't say the same about the afternoon. Expected 101 fahrenheit later and I will be in the Universal Studio! That will be crazy.

My plane was delayed from Dulles to LAX. Touched down at about 7pm. WP drove me to dinner at the cinema area (must remember to ask her the name of the place) as we planned to catch a movie called A Night to Remember. But when we saw Wall Street on the board, we decided to switch plan. As the movie only stars at 10.30pm, we walked out after dinner. Went into Borders (how many Borders have I gone in since I arrived???) and Amoeba Music Store (really hippy place).

Got back to the cinema at about 10 minutes before the show. Ticket cost $16. Shocking. Seats were wide with plenty of leg room. There were no commercial, only previews. Screen was big. A cinema worker came out to give a short speech (apparently it's normal) and the show started. I was zoning out throughout the whole movie. With the different time zone, my body was having trouble adjusting. And of course, I didn't manage to sleep on the plane as I didn't like the seats.

We got back to WP's place at about 1am and only went to sleep at about 2pm. By then, it was already 5am in DC. I had been up for almost a day.
