I did Bikram again this morning and I gotta tell ya…90 minutes of that shit after a few drinks last night is not very much fun. I mean it’s not fun to begin with, but with a slight hangover it’s fucking terrible. Some of the poses are getting easier for me and some I just simply cannot get the hang of. My muscles are sore and tired and I fall out of the poses pretty quickly but try my best to get right back in them. I do think that some days it’s hotter than other days. I keep reminding myself that I am burning close to 1000 calories each time. 90 minutes on a treadmill might do the same but I hate running and let’s face, I am no spring chicken and these joints might start to wear. Lauren is on her 28th day in a row I think. UGH.

I walked over to Joe and Vanessa’s in hopes of working on my tan but June Gloom has officially set in. I stayed a minute and then went home to continue sifting through images until I had to get ready to meet a girl I know through Twitter. Her name is Lorena and she has a dating blog that Jarin showed me a few months ago. We have been friendly on Twitter but had never met in person and since she just moved downtown I suggested we meet up for a drink this evening. Some of my friends that are reading this might be like “why the fuck is she making new friends when she can’t even spend enough time with the ones she has?” and that is a valid concern but there is a reason that Lorena and I have connected. (I’m not sure what it is it.) We met at Red Pearl Kitchen and ordered the mule which was awesome and got to know each other a little. She works in real estate (she said “yeah so I’m unemployed too!”) and also has a part time job monitoring the weather at Lindbergh field. When the airplanes fly in a different direction than normal, that is her decision. (I wonder if she ever does it just to be funny. Like on opposite day or April Fool’s Day.) Anyways we got to talking about my job and it turns out she went on a few dates with Ryan! (she did not write about him if you are wondering) She also knows Mike who owns Tivoli from the real estate business and worked at Tivoli for like days before realizing that she could not deal with the drunk idiots in there. Small world! We chatted about our jobs, dating, blogging, traveling, living downtown and shared some ideas we had about business opportunities in the future together. I also told her about a chick blogger convention in NYC in August that I want to go to, so she’s in for that too! She told me about her date with Single Steve (another San Diego dating blogger) and how things didn’t really work out. (His version)I told her all about my dates with It’s Just Lunch and she laughed when I told her how much money I gave them. I told her my idea of letting my friends pick guys for me from Match.com so I can continue my project. I wonder if I should attempt to go on a date with Steve? Anyhoo… I’m excited to have a single friend closeby as a wingman! And since now I am a Bikram cultist I am trying to get her to go with me in the mornings.

We walked over to Tivoli and ran into Andrea who was wearing a long dress showing off her hot body and to which I could not resist ever so slightly touching her bum as I crept up behind her. Omg the look on her face as she turned to see what douchebag was groping her was priceless. Sorry! I was dying laughing. We had a drink and then walked over to the Fleetwood which is probably now officially my least favorite place in downtown San Diego. Awful music, awful crowd and just plain awful.

I was home in bed by 11pm. I knew that the Rock and Roll Marathon would be tearing by my place at some point at some unreasonable hour tomorrow morning.
