I love how many errands I can get done on my bike in my neighborhood. Just got home from a nice ride. Stopped at Intelligentsia for coffee (cold brewed iced coffee, yum), then to CVS for some drug store stuff and finally to Tomato Pie and Video Journeys for dinner/entertainment for the night.
I love biking around the neighborhood, just wish I could bike all the way to work, maybe someday.
I decided to make my first visit to the LA Public Library last weekend, which is kind of sad considering I’ve lived in LA for ~5 years at this point. The reason? I spend a lot of money buying books. I like owning them, but I really have no use for them after I finish reading them except for a choice few which I suggest to others (it’s nice to have a copy for them to read if they want). The fact that there is a huge network of libraries offering me free reading material that is the same as what I would buy is pretty hard to pass up. I also stumbled upon this blog post which suggest a couple cool features of the LA Public Library system. Apparently I can choose any of the materials available in all of LA and have them delivered to my local library branch. That way I don’t even have to drive to the library, I can just walk/bike to the branch close by.
Hopefully I can keep this up. Currently I have a bunch of books on my Amazon Wish List that I am hoping to read. My plan is to slowly work through them via the library instead of buying them on Amazon. If I really like the book, I might buy a copy, otherwise I will be saving myself some cash.
Anyone else out there utilize their public libraries? How well does it work for you? Any complaints?
I went to Huntington Gardens in January with Liza. The gardens are amazing and I would suggest that anyone that lives in the LA area go check this place out. Liza and I checked out almost all of the gardens and even spotted the Pasadena Parrots. I thought I would recap some of my favorite photos from the trip.
