L.A. story

Nope, not discovered.
I feel I haven’t been spending my time in L.A. as efficiently as possible. I haven’t been doing much of the really touristy stuff. But I have discovered that driving in this town is terrible. It takes forever to get anywhere by car. And the yin to that yang is that you need a car to get anywhere.
But I have been having a great time. I’m just spending it more with friends than civic monuments. I had thought about doing an official L.A. tour today, but I didn’t get back in time to make the start. On the other hand, you know you are having a wild and crazy time when you end up in the hospital. I wish I could say it was for an arm broken in a bar fight, but no, just a small ear problem. And the recovery is essentially to ignore it and it will go away.
I’ve been staying up way too late. Fun fun fun. I think I’m going on about 4-5 hours of sleep a night. It is a struggle to get up before 10:00 for the hotel’s free breakfast. I could splurge and go across the street and eat some of the local cuisine. But this isn’t Italy. This is California, and I don’t need to prove anything. Besides, the local cuisine is an IHOP.
Now I should figure what I am doing today. As mentioned, previous plans have failed.
