If you peer through the smog, you can see the view of downtown LA from my balcony. I'd show you pictures from my place, but it's not clean at the moment. I guess you'll have to stay tuned.

Make A Wish Party
Since I've been out here, my sleep schedule has been a little messed up. I'm still on Central Standard Time, so I've been going to bed at 8 0r 9 and waking up early. Also, I haven't been able to get a full night's sleep as I've been adjusting to my new bed, so on Saturday, I was out cold by midnight on my bed from pure exhaustion. All night I had people shaking me to wake me up and people coming through my room to use the bathroom. I have no recollection of any of this. When I wake up the next morning, I felt like I had moved back into the fraternity house - complete with a fresh coat of post-party beer sludge on the floor (what a sweet smell that was). This time around, however, there are no pledges...

West Hollywood
The actual municipality that I live in is West Hollywood (so, not LA). Well, West Hollywood is apparently the gay part of town. After living here for a short time, I want to emphasize this because it is very gay. As in, out-in-the-open, dudes-holding-hands gay (there are lesbians too). Not that there's anything wrong with that. The epicenter of this world is along Santa Monica Blvd (about half a mile from my place). It's really funny how Santa Monica Blvd contrasts with where I am on Sunset. On Sunset, you have Whisky a Go Go and the Roxy - heavy metal clubs. I walk down the street by me and it's lined with kids dressed entirely in black waiting in line to get into these places. I walk down Santa Monica and it's...let's just say they're not dressed in black waiting for some heavy metal. Well, Jerry and I decide to walk down there to grab some food. We walk in to the restaurant, and the guy behind the counter asks, "Hey babe, what can I get you?" It takes every ounce of energy in my body to not burst out in laughter. I finally regain my composure and order the food and we sit out on the sidewalk and people watch. We're eating right next to a gay bar, so it was entertaining to say the least.

Still no celebrity sitings...
