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*
This week has had high points (I’ve made great gains in my stories and in the world-building for it) and low points (waiting to finally get paid, being too tired to work out as much as I am supposed to be doing). I’m just glad it’s almost over. I plan to get a lot of…
Brought back one of my fav past layouts, but it needs more tinkering and fixing (as usual). And I’m done for the night! Will fiddle more tomorrow. Time to watch a movie, have a cocktail, and revel in not having to get up early tomorrow. Aaaahhhh…
Here are some pics from yesterday… The Big Freaking Toad! I suppose she feels safe here, as she doesn’t move when me or roomie see her in the pond. Doesn’t go under, doesn’t try to hide. Gorgeous! Devil’d Fadis! Heh… In this case, notice the Corona-shaped devil horns. Fadi, they weren’t quite as good as…
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…
I’ve not posted in a few days, but I’ve been a busy bee plotting and planning and conjuring up new things. I’m planning a couple of “events” for the blog (more on that this week), making some digital downloads to give away on the blog, making some to sell on Etsy, designing a holiday card…
Lots of goodies lately. First off, I really like Madonna’s new single, “Hung Up,” and I can’t wait for the new cd that comes out on the 15th. I’ve always loved her music (I’m one of the ones who really likes the album “American Life!”) and her style and I think she’s awesome for doing…
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.
