Welcome to LA! It’s pretty much the same as I left it in January. Which, frankly, is a bit of a relief.
Whatever

Welcome to Here! I’m just leaving – off to Florida for my roomie’s wedding recepton. Would have been lovely to see you again at the Festival of Books and you know where you recognise me from this time :D Have a smashing time here. It’s 0.0027% safer on the roads as I shan’t be driving around LA this weekend.
It’s still there? I thought it was destroyed by aliens in 1996 and then again in 2011.
Scorpius,any movie where there’s a VFX artist with a downtown penthouse, a sports car and a supermodel girlfriend can be taken as purest fiction.;)
“downtown pent” and “sports” are very nearly superflous, given the state of the industry :P
I’m all ready for your Seattle visit. Got my invisible ink pens, too. I might even add below your sig: 2 B 1 ask 1. It’ll be cool!
I Can not wait to go to San Diego in July!! SO FREAKING EXCITED!! Because of an awesome interview I did on CNN’s website that apparently has gone viral I’m going to CAL-I-FORN-IA for Comic-Con!!
Hope you’re enjoying the beautiful weather! Make sure to bring some of it back with you when you get back to the Midwest.
Ah.. Venice!
Hey, there is a UFO on the roof.
I note the view from your room includes one of the giant ground defense laser platforms. One hopes that doesn’t make your immediate area Ground Zero for the alien invasion.
You can see my old building from there. No, seriously. It’s easier at night because it’s by the one with the giant green neon sign.
