Week 3 Review
I'm sad to report that Thirty Day LA is winding down, as I'm on my 24th day of doing something new everyday. But I've decided to finish out the rest of the month, so technically it'll be 34 Day LA or something like that. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, that's some bullshit. I agree. Anyway, onto the review, which I'm four days late on.
Cost: B+
For week 3, I spent a total of $176, a little over $25 a day. This past week was $27 cheaper than week 2. Regardless, I'm still broke. Normally I've a very fiscally responsible person. I pay off all my bills in full and put away as much as I can into savings. This month, I haven't paid all the bills yet and I'm already broke. I'm pretty scared to look at my credit card bill, even though I have a good idea of how much it's going to be. Yeah I'm getting an ulcer just thinking about it, so I'll stop.
Most expensive: Circle Bar. 5 drinks came out to $44. Good thing I wasn't drinking that night or that bill would have felt like a cockpunch.
Least expensive: Nike Run Hit Remix training run. We got free pizza afterwards, so the total cost was nothing if you don't count gas. All we had to do was subject ourselves to a barrage of Nike advertising.
Best value: Midnight Ridazz. The ride was free, the only costs were transportation and food, which came out to about $12. The best part was that I got to ride by the very spots in Hollywood that contributed to my $110 drinking bill two weeks ago and have better and cheaper fun on the streets outside.
Fun: B
Going out on my own that first night to The Other Room wasn't that fun. In fact, it was kind of depressing. But the rest of the week made up for it, like the Beach Bum Mini-Tour, Midnight Ridazz, and the escapades of WrathOfDrunkenness. Hookah-smoking was very cool as well.
Originality and Variety: A
This week I did more of the planning activities on my own instead of searching online for stuff to do. I'm glad I decided to do more stuff on my own because doing simple things like eating out or getting a drink by yourself is a completely different experience. I'm planning on continuing the alone thing next week too. One thing I need to work on is switching up locations. Except for Midnight Ridazz, the activities I did the past week were all on the Westside. Overall, lots of exercising, lots of drinking, and lots of good food.
Maintaining activities: B
I did a little better this week. I need to improve this to an A by the final week so I will actually be able to incorporate some of Thirty Day LA into my normal life.
- Biking: twice
- Running: once
- Cooking: twice
- Writing: none other than this shit right here
Overall: A-
Woohoo improvement. I'm going to go bake myself a cookie.
So what did I learn this week?
- Drinking by yourself sucks
- Doing stuff by yourself can be pretty cool
- I don't get enough sleep cuz of Thirty Day LA, causing me to snore and drool on myself when I pass out at work everyday
- I really need to get a flask
- I'd rather be a drunken idiot than the sober one laughing at the drunken idiot. This is because I'm a fucking clown. One time we played basketball with this one guy that everyone called clown, and I laughed thinking they called him that cuz he was goofy, but then I realized it was because his actual job was a clown, and I felt bad. I wouldn't want to be drunken me for a living.
The details of week 4, which includes the day of my birthday, are soon to come.
