Is driving around Los Angeles really any different than driving in the Bay Area suburbs?

Edit: To clarify: I'm thinking of the scene in Clueless where it's a big deal to the female leads to drive on the freeway. I'm bad at changing lanes and parking, which is why I don't drive in Manhattan, but I don't have particular issues with traffic.

I'm still not sure if I was super-productive or super-unproductive this weekend: I consider this a side effect of the robert Irresponsibility Field.

Fri night I went to OperaBoss' performance at Town Hall with Ray Davies of The Kinks. ( I wonder if he was an inspiration for Tucker Crowe )

Every time I start thinking I might be getting mature enough to be allowed out in public, I do something like spill curry on my jeans before a date *sighs*

I've done some pretty dumb things when I was hungry, but getting a slice of pizza on my way home to fix dinner wasn't the dumbest. Bc getting a slice of pizza on my way home when I had leftover pizza in the fridge was dumber ( Read more... )
