Settling into Los Angeles
April 3rd, 2009

Greetings, beauties.

My flight into LA was awesome. We got in 40 minutes early!! I love flying and I don’t mind shouting out Air Canada as the bomb. I’ve flown a lot in the last few years but Air Canada runs shit because the planes are newer and thus more luxuriant and they have the deal where you get a little entertainment centre in the back of the seat in front of you.

The first morning when I woke up, this is my view of the courtyard from the balcony of the place I’m staying. The pool is to the right!

That right there was my buddy Tony. As I type this, he is on the couch beside me reading the new 2nd edition of Benny Bunny On Wheels. I knew he was in the movie business, but I didn’t know how deep in it he was. He’s a camera operator, and he’s worked on a bunch of big productions. He was telling me about being on set during the making of Step Brothers when Will Farrell came over to ask what he was doing. He told Will that he was texting this girl, trying to get her to go out with him. Tony had to go look after something suddenly, and he left his phone in Will Farrell’s hands. When he came back, he discovered that Will had tried to help the situation by texting to this girl “This is Will Farrell. I think you should go out with Tony.” The girl didn’t believe him at first, but Tony got the girl any way.

That was Tony’s solo album. Jokes, it was a prop for a movie.

Last night I went out for dinner with my friend Lisa. After dinner, I wanted to go to Hollywood Boulevard and see all the touristy stuff around there.

It was a bit of a hike to walk from Hollywood & Highland to Hollywood & Vine, but I had to see the Capitol Records building!!

Lisa is just in awe of the whole thing. She’s lived all her life in a place right beside L.A. called Montebello and she had never been to Hollywood Boulevard!

You will notice that this restaurant’s sign proclaims that it is a celebrity bar. Next time I’m down there, i will go there and I will take pictures of all of the celebrities hanging out in there.
