L.A. So Far
Well so far LA has been good to me.
I am writing this from my desk at my brandy new job......well sort of new. I've actually been here since the beginning of December but today is the first day of my second 'official' week at Fox Sports. Yes, that's right - not only am I working for Fox Sports but I'm working in the Marketing department where we campaign to get people to watch sports. No, it doesn't make any sense to me either. But I'm working for a studio - hooray! I'm working on the Fox lot - hooray! There are just too many good extra little things to mention here - HOORAY!! I haven't really seen any truly famous people yet (I think I saw Marc Blucas with a shaved head the other day though) but eventually I'm bound to run into someone. An asian woman in scrubs about mowed me down in the News Cafe one day last week so spotting Hugh Laurie can't be far behind. :-)
So life in LA, so far has largely been about getting the job thing squared away and trying to get into some semblance of a routine (I'm getting there). We've been to see a few movies and we went to a screening of Pan's Labryinth with a Q&A with Guillermo del Toro following - that was awesome (both the movie and the Q&A). We also went New Year's weekend to see Getty Villa. It was lovely - all ancient art - Grecian, Roman and African. I saw some artwork depicting the mythology that part of Sailor Moon was based on (Seline and Endymion) and something else as well but I can't remember what it was.
One thing I will say for LA - I love the weather here. LOVE it! When I was going to post this update last week I was going to say that the milder climate is much better for my arthritis but then last week it snowed in Malibu. And I will repeat that because it bears repeating - it snowed in MALIBU! WTF?!? All kidding aside (it really did snow in Malibu though) even with the recent cold front that we had my arthritis has been better because it's mostly mild around where I live and work.
Well that's it for now. I'm going to try to make my posts more frequent and much shorter from now on. :P
