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*
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…
Hello, hi there, long time no chat! Time to break my blog-silence & ramble at you a bit. And by “you,” I mean the Google bots who periodically come by. Maybe a random person, too. Hahaha. So as it’s December, and time to start vaguely thinking about “resolutions” and all that fun stuff, I have…
We just had a meeting at work, and I feel slightly better, only because I was able to vent and talk. Talking with others helped. I also talked to my manager, and she’s really good at listening. She’s been a great manager, and I feel bad for her and the other managers who are caught…
One thing I am grateful for in ’05: finding Cathy and becoming a “Savage girl” (I swear I’m going to finally compete in ’06—really, I am!). I’ve gotten great information, training, advice, and best of all, DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT from her. She really helps everyone think that they can realize their dreams, no matter what they…
It’s days like this that remind me why I like living in Florida. I might bitch about the heat come July & August (and for good reason), and I do love going to colder climes, but beautiful, cloudless, balmy, 67-degree December days like this are to be savored. I’m taking advantage of the gorgeous day…
Well, haven’t gotten the new design going yet. Yesterday the power cord on this old Powerbook stopped working, and after a mini-meltdown, I decided to just replace the damn thing. I plan to get a new computer soon, but I can’t do it just yet, and a new power cord for this old gal was…
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.
