Describing Los Angeles

Yesterday, someone asked me to describe Los Angeles. 

Sure. 

Los Angeles is different:


Very different: 



Lots of folks out here with "generalized anxiety disorder" or "glaucoma" 

It's a very social city, as evidenced by the smoking clubs:



And the dance steps at the intersection of Sunset Blvd and Glendale Ave:


TTFN.

Meeting A Legend

The legend himself:


Producer Robert Evans (the man who saved Paramount) 

He did a reading and a book signing in West Hollywood. A re-release of his memoir 'The Kid Stays In The Picture' For God's sake, get it and read it. It's fantastic. 

He spoke to me, signed my book, and held my hand patiently while I professed my eternal love. 


Looking more amazing than he has a right to at 83 (and after three strokes, a coma and paralysis) he was charming and funny and encouraging. 

Definite top 5 highlight of my life.

Happy Birthday To Me

My horoscope today from Direct TV:


That's the most surreal thing I've ever read. Visions of seductive sharks in the ocean of my life. I'm pretty much wary of sharks, talking or not.

I'm hoping this is an ad, and not just elaborate graffiti. Is the magic the fact that the fox isn't eating the rabbits? 


Signs say 'SLIDE AREA' and I thought, 'Oh, fun! A slide!' Nooooo. They mean mudslides. As in, one heavy rain will take this hill down. This is on Sunset Blvd, a kind of busy place for traffic, human and auto. This is part of the reason Angelinos don't move in the rain:


What kind of people build a house on the edge of a hill of slideable dirt? 


Of course, with the face-melting, brain bubbling heat we've been having lately, a little downpour might be just the thing. 

This picture was taken Sunday at 5:10PM -- 95 degrees and this was the first appearance of the sun all day:


The L.A. Hikers Assn. tweeted: "You have nothing to prove. Stay home."

Such is life in Los Angeles. I love it.
