Emergency post: things I've learned in LA so far

So far on my trip:

I've learned that if two girls are talking really loudly in the line for the plane they will most likely continue talking loudly ON the plane--no matter how many dirty looks people give them.

I've realized that on three+ hour long flights even window people should become aisle people becuase it's way easier to get up and go to the bathroom.

I've remembered that whenever people ask you "whatcha writing there" and you tell them "I'm an author, I'm working on my new book" that's usually all it takes to make middle-aged men talk for two and a half hours about their poetry.

I've come to really, really, really appreciate my new GPS unit.

And the final thing I've learned on my trip so far...

If you're walking through the LA airport, thinking "maybe I'll see a movie star" you're guaranteed to see a really hot guy and think "he could be a movie star" and then you realize--IT'S PAUL WALKER!!! He IS a movie star!!!!!

And then I was so freaked out I almost got on the wrong rental car shuttle.

So, that's my great LA adventure so far. I'm thinking a lot about LEARNING TO PLAY GIN and feeling a great deal like Julia--just wishing I'd brought a Nina. (To fully get those references, get thee a copy of GIN now!)

Later gators,
