What the hell am I doing WALKING in LA? (at 25... nevermind, nobody knows that song)
I'm sure I've heard someone make this glib comment before, but I actually came to the same conclusion independently while walking around LA yesterday (Yes, I WALKED!)
You know why New York is always THE city that gets destroyed by monsters, godzillas, tidal waves, mother ships, you name it? LA is kinda too fugly for the part. I don't think anyone would actually care that much. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are gorgeous more idyllic park/nature-oriented parts of it and I didn't actually dislike anything I saw. I LIKE fugly. LA's fugly with personality, and personality goes a long way as Sam Jackson has taught us.
I didn't really plan anything... to the point where I didn't even have a map and by the time I decided maybe I'd like to hang around for one more day to do the Getti museum, there were no rooms to be had for the weekend. I'm really not into Hollywood and the movies, but maybe I would have hung around the Kodak theater if the weather weren't so sucky. I came back to SD instead where the weather is still sucky but at least I have a place to sleep. I did get to see the red carpet cause it was all set up last night and I've always loved the behind the scenes. I'm fascinated by the spectacle, not the people involved in it. I think most celebrities are people I just wouldn't want to go out for coffee with so why would I want to stand in the rain to see them anyway?
I want to give everyone on my flist a big squish for being so supportive of my insanity, but I've decided that maybe moving to the other side of the world on a whim is not something I want to do. AGAIN. I will get the wandering itch again, but I'm going to think about it and make sure I do something I'm actually good at if an opportunity presents itself. Thank you anyway for being such an amazing flist. :-*
