7th Circle of Somewhere Hot

Having now spent a week in the belly of the beast, I find it's not so bad in here. No worse than Phoenix I'd say. I am of course refering to LA, that legendary home for all that is weird, liberal, polluted, stoned, misguided or currupt, according to the teachings of my youth. Not that those teachings were too far off... I've seen some weird shit here. But maybe my tolerance threshold for weird shit has increased over the years.

So what have I been doing in the almost exactly one week I've been here?
I took a long bike ride down the coast, along the beach.
I solved the rubix cube for the first time, in 28 minutes (after futsing about with it for a week).
I applied for work at 4 different used book stores.
I went to a bar to listen to some stand-up comedy with Risa, where her bike was stolen.
I nearly bought a sailboat.
and...
I registered with a casting company to be an extra on movies, commercials, and tv shows.
And so much more.

What will next week bring?
