Random thoughts from LA

Have a little down time right now. Since I've been in LA:

1. Had a $60 cab ride to my hotel. Apparently this is normal.

2. I saw a taping of CSI: NY. Look out for a future episode with (I'm guessing) a body in a dumpster. Didn't recognize the actors, but hey, I saw an episode being filmed.

3. Almost got into an accident. Caddy vs. Suburban. I was merely a passenger, but it was my driver's fault.

4. I love how eco-friendly (most) everything is in LA. Resturants are all organic, recycled materials are the norm, etc. (Okay, minus the above mentioned Caddy and Suburban.)

5. I had the opportunity to sit outside for a few minutes of fresh air. It's high 70's, sunny and beautiful. I love it and, to my surprise, could totally see myself living here.

6. Starbucks has the holiday-themed drinks and cups, but it's so strange to me. How can you possible think of Christmas (= snow in my mind) when there are palm trees everywhere?

Well, better get back to work... it's only 2:15 p.m. here...

I haven't been out that way in quite a while; not that I every really checked things out on my own terms. I could imagine it being that way, and also hypocritially pretentious (recycled cup for the latte sitting in the Suburban's cup holder, etc).

Travel safe!

LA. A neat and strange place all at once. I think it's cool out there, but don't know if I could live in such a city like LA. Probably, caus I'm thinking of the $$$$$ - quite pricey.

Hope you had a nice weekend!
