what the hell am i doing drinking in LA?
la la land...hollywood, land of the stars, film, television, the walk of fame, venice beach and all that. i'm in LA for the first time, and after being here for only one day, i don't haven't yet figured out why so many people hate LA. ok, so i haven't been here that long or seen that much of it, but, from what i have seen (admittedly touristy for the most) it's not as shabby as most say.i took a train and two buses to get here from san francisco. i know i haven't updated here since jan 26th so here's a quick update on what i've been doing - was in seattle till the 27th, took a 24 hour train to san francisco. was meant to stay for 3 nights - stayed 5 instead - got merrily drunk on many an occasion, got a new piercing (hottest industrial EVER), went out to alcatraz, the SFMoMA, a pub crawl...and lots of walking. san francisco is an amasing city that i wouldn't mind living in one day - i had an absolute ball there from the time i arrived!
so i stayed an extra couple of nites and then came down here to LA yesterday. the lounge here has comedy on wednesday nites, and the comics were actually pretty decent! one of them was on a few eps of malcolm in the middle, thou his comedy was SO not suited to that show - i don't think the familes would like to hear him talking about his mates activites with strippers, smoking weed and doing lines off peoples asses...
i walked around today for a bit (in the 20 degree c heat! ah sunshine, how i missed thee) - along hollywood and sunset, the walk of fame and all that. i'm hoping to head out to venice beach tomorrow before wandering around beverly hills to mingle with the wealthy.
in other news i did a virus scan today and found a trojan - thou it was in my IE temp files, so probably hasn't done too much i hope. it's gone now, and prob got on my machine when my virus scanner was being an ass and not updating properly. anyways...
so i'll be off to vegas soon - or maybe san diego. i'm not sure. either way, i'll be leaving LA in 2 days or so.
not really a lot more to post at the moment - at least not things that can make it to a public forum. so...
mike
