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*
Today Jamie asks: What treat do you wish for? Ok, this one is a bit harder for me than last week. Last week was super easy and the answer came to me in a mere moment. This one, however… Hmmm. I wish for a lot of things. A lot. Big things (my own house), fairly…
Quickie update…my computer died. My laptop, which I’ve been using for about 5-6 years now (which is, what? in computer years…a century?), finally had enough. The hard drive began to fail and it refused to start up—not in safe mode, not in any mode. Not even “start-you-motherfucker -or-I’m-running-you-over-with-the-car” mode. And had I backed up my…
Tonight roomie finished laying the main tiles for my room’s floor; Friday we cut tile to go along the edges, Saturday is grouting, Sunday is hopefully sealing. Monday I hope to move my stuff back in and be settled for xmas. Le sigh. All this is at least slightly taking my mind off the job…
Ate tonight at one of my favorite local places…great Greek lemon chicken. And great service! Hehehe. (I’ll make sure I make periodic comments about the place in case either of the “givers of great service” ever comes by the site…)
[I posted this at 12:15 on OCT 7th, which is my birthday, but for some reason WordPress refuses to change the timestamp. Grrrrrrr!] It is true…I am another year old. *cheers* Food: Check! Lots of yummy TGIFriday’s-junk-appetizer “foodâ€â€¦eggrolls (hehe) and cheese sticks and jalepeno poppers and buffalo chicken poppers…mmmmm! Drinks: Check! Bunnytinis, of course! Dessert:…
It’s October! It’s October! How did that happen?! But I’m soooo happy it is. October has my birthday, it’s the start of magic portal season, there are lots of fun parties, and, of course, Halloween! I’ve started decorating… Draping things around the house… Pulling out decor that I got in Salem many years ago…the actual…
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.
