A brief life in Los Angeles.


I'm in Los Angeles. This is my third trip to this fair city this year, with one more on the books in about a month. My last trip here was not the best, to say the least. If you refer back to my blog entry on March 14, "The most wretched hive of scum and villainy...", and the following March 17, "The End of the Vacation", you will find a chronicle of that trip. Which, in the end, was decided it really was a good trip, it was just "challenging". But, now looking back, that trip really marked the end of the end of my last relationship too. So, now looking back on looking back...maybe it really was a bad trip.

So far this trip I have:
-Flown after a couple beers.
-Been on a flight that got in early.
-Picked up by an old friend and subsequently driven all over creation by him.
-In the driving all over creation there were several loops through Koreatown including trying to go to one Mexican restaurant that was closed, then another Mexican restaurant that was closed, then a dungeon bar that was closed and finally ending up in some swanky ass place in Silverlake that I really didn't belong.
-Crackheads at the am-pm.
-Some much needed and overdue closeness.
-Waking up not yet hungover.
-Walks down Century Blvd.
-Sitting next to a guy in an After Effects training class who can't figure out how to use the mouse.
-Almost dying several times as a passenger in crazy LA people's cars.

And I've still got one more night to go. Alex "Danger" Tarrand will be picking me up shortly and who knows what kind of wacky hijinks he has in store.
