The weather today was FANTASTIC; sunny, warm, windy to cool you off, and I am so glad that I'd been outside for the majority of the day with some friends. My day started early around 7:30 in the morning, where a failed attempt at going to shoot some arrows at an archery center in Pasadena failed and turned into a morning with dim sum (which I haven't had in AGES, and was nice to have), then off to the Getty Center (with the pristine white of every surface GLEAMING IN THE SUNLIGHT, and the fantastic chill in the air from the wind) was brilliant. Pretty plants (yes, cacti and general desert species can be pretty), and beauuutiful paintings was a sight for mine sore eyes. God, beautiful paintings. I am sure that I am not the only one who is rendered in a quiet silent awe whenever looking at them.
Then after, we hit Santa Monica beach for a quick visit. A curious thing that occurred at the beach. The the shoreline was covered in ladybugs! After a little research, I found that this actually does happen from time to time, as the ladybugs travel according to a certain wind current, and if that current happens to lead to the shoreline...then the ladybugs get blown in and simply run out of land. =/ So that explains all the lady bugs. My friend rescued approximately five ladybugs and resumed talking out loud to them and looking like a hallucinating lunatic. I rescued one very very very chill ladybug (that I named Eduardo) that rested on the same spot on my hand for a good ten minutes or so before we had to leave. I plucked him off and placed him on a fence a good deal farther away from the shoreline and wished him the best of luck before departing.
Everything was impromptu, so I barely managed a chance to grab a pair of shorts to change into on the way, and much less, shave my legs for the utterly random beach visitation. Haha, but I promise that I do shave my legs. And to not traumatize anymore innocent passerby's in the future.
