Someday, I will have the time to just sit down at the computer and start writing the set of stories that have been brewing in my head for weeks, even months, now. They involve time travelers and wannabes and televangelists and mechanics and war correspondants and computer programs with abandonment issues and dog-things who smoke cigarettes and

The 'computer program with abandonment issues' one is so, so old, and argh, I just need to write it and get it out of my system. It is creepy and weird and has the potential for some serious awesome if I can pull it off.

And the televangelist is new. I blame U2 B-sides. He randomly showed up in the back of my mind recently, and I still need to figure out quite what I'm going to do with him. But that's why I need Vegas references.

Oh goodness I really do hope that you find time to post these brilliant tales up soon!! They all sound so intriguing!! *begs and pokes*

Oh gosh I've never been to any of these places save LA airport which was not so nice...

Were you at LAX? Haha, ever since I started watching Lost I've been looking for an excuse to fly into there. :P

Thanks for the vote of confidence, bb. We'll see if I can't get a piece typed up by this weekend -- I need to write something.

Omg don't ever, LAX is the worst airport IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE. I can't stand that place. Actually I never though of it like that, I've been to a LOST location!

[starfoozle]

O RLY? I'd have thought it would be a bit more glamorous, being in LA and all.

(Actually, I would beg to disagree. The worst airport in the history of ever is in Erie, Pennsylvania, where our plane once had to land for refueling after trying to avoid a supermassive storm or something on the way to Detroit. It was tiny. It was filthy. It had exactly one restaurant that was open, called Greg's, which had "Fish" as one of the four items the menu. They did not specify the type of fish at all, and someone at a table by us ordered it and it was gray.... Most dubious thing EVER.)

HOLLA GURL

COULD THIS BE A LITTLE LONGER PLEASE.

Also I didn't proofread, for which I apologize.

JHDSFLJKAHSLDFJKA, YOU ARE A VERITABLE FOUNT OF RELEVANT INFORMATION. :D This is awesome.

All of these things are good to know about LA -- I will rent some of those movies for research, perhaps, and look into more of this stuff. I would have never guessed that about the wildlife! We've got some similar animals here too -- mostly deer, and there's a coyote that the neighbors are freaking out about -- but I would never have expected so much with such close proximity to the city.

And Vegas. I didn't expect the sand -- actually, that's a detail relevant to my interests for a certain thing I'm working on, believe it or not. I imagine the Strip would be a real overload in a very short time. I've always wanted to go -- I have no real interest in gambling, but the people-watching alone would be worth it, I think.

It's been so long since I've done research for a story, and I kind of forgot how fun it was. Again, thanks so much, this was ridiculously helpful! <3

No problem! Let me know if you need more stuff, this was just the off-the-cuff-stuff. And yeah to Nevada sand! this is what most of Nevada looks like when you drive through it!
