I love L.A., and at some point, I plan to live out there. Yeah, there’s smog and earthquakes, but I don’t care (heck, to me it’s just like where I grew up, only bigger and with better shopping). L.A. has Hollywood, Sunset Strip, mountains, Trashy Lingerie…and Sprinkles.
“Pint-sized” gourmet goodness…*licks screen*
The room I live in in my roommate’s house has a concrete floor; she hadn’t tiled it yet when I moved in. Because at the time I had an older cat who sometimes missed his box, I decided to make cleanup easy by buying a piece of cheap vinyl to put down on top of…
…in which I am determined to have a wonderful, happy day. To celebrate life and love. How? Well… I started off reading favorite blogs this morning while Bast helped… And I just had to get a close up: And today in the mail I received the simple yet gorgeous Life is Good mug I’d been…
As I recover from laughing my ass off, I have to share this. I’ve blogged before about being a fan of The Girls Next Door, the show about Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends. Yeah yeah yeah, so sue me. ;-) Anyway, after tonight’s episode, I did a search on the Virgin Megastore site to see if they…
Happy St. Patrick’s day! Logan, I hope you & the boys are tearing it up, and I am so sad I could not make it. Today, a friend told me about a drink that calls for a liquor called “Chartreuse.” I’ve never heard of it, which is shameful on two counts: one, I’m a literature…
Upgraded to WordPress 2.1, and so far so good. I liked this design offered in the WordPress themes site, so I figured I’d use it for now. Tomorrow (er, later today?) I’ll get the other things back on my site and tweak this design’s CSS. I’ll also be refocusing the site a bit. I want…
Yay, the week is over! This was a hellish week, thanks to some insanely childish political bullshit going on at work. The only good thing to come of it so far is that I’ve discovered that I work for some great people who “have my back,” as it were. That is a wonderful feeling. As…
I hated LA. I had two holidays to the US of A in the 90s, each composed of a week doing the tourist thang and then a week with friends. The first one was in Florida (with the late Enid Hoffman) who lived near Odessa, and I had a great time and made a bunch of friends. The second was in LA (with Jay, then an information broker for Warner Bros). Southern Ca struck me as being really phony compared with Florida – the people seemed much more materialistic and shallow, although I know that’s a sweeping generalisation. Three days, and – bam! – I was in a car driving north. The Bay wasn’t too bad, and it was nice getting out of the heat and all, but still – give me Florida any day!
You’re kidding. Odessa? You came to Odessa on purpose? That’s where I grew up! It’s a place no one has heard of unless they lived there, lol! Well, now it’s been consumed by all the urban sprawl and is merely a suburb of Tampa…but wow, that’s hilarious. Where in Odessa, specifically?
Yes, L.A. can be shallow, but that’s ok. ;-) That’s part of its “charm.” Heh. It wouldn’t be Hollywood without the snobbery, lol. Then again, I love Hollywood Blvd with all its cheesy tourist shops and the bums hanging out on the walk of fame…hahaha. But I have odd tastes.
