Have you ever even lived through an earth quake before? (A real one like 6 or above?)<br /><br />While in LA check out venice beach for its weirdos, Runyan canyon is a cute hike on the hollywood hills, the magic castle has fun shows, as are Comedy Sportz (google it), Yamashiro the Japanese restaurant above magic castle has an amazing view of the city at night (or day) -as seen on a <a href="http://mordechai7215.blogspot.com/2008/04/picture-of-week-44.html" rel="nofollow">picture of the week</a> on my blog- the top of the grove's parking lot also offers an amazing view (thee grove itself is too touristy to be worth even its disneyland like feel. Fish grill is an awesome restaurant -the one in malibu ies great for taking food to the beach. Universal studios isn't bad -if you take advantage of their offers, getting a season pass can be very cheap and ies worth going be back oncef our twice as a fun afternoon trip. <br /><br />If you can take a longer trip, check out huntington and disconse (sp?) Gardens. Oxnard actually has a really nice beach.<br />The sad truth is that los angeles is utterly devoid of personality, humanity, architecture and history.<br /><br /><br />The rosh is awesome - send him my love.<br /><br />I you go to bevmo on s. Monica and ask donny to recommend something from the west coast for me and bring said beer back for me - I'd be much obliged. If you find a bottle of Pliny the Elder to bring back, I'd gladly tip you for the service as well.Mottelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582397390892396507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989429744464051200.post-67781155422844789792011-01-11T00:08:09.494-05:002011-01-11T00:08:09.494-05:00No, I hate humidity so I think I would remember it...No, I hate humidity so I think I would remember it more distinctly. <br />If your caught outside in an ice storm you sing, much like you would in the rain.bonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233228445664358396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989429744464051200.post-5974941166799634292011-01-11T00:00:49.650-05:002011-01-11T00:00:49.650-05:00Maybe it's cold and humid and you think that i...Maybe it's cold and humid and you think that it's pleasantly warm?<br /><br />And what if you're outside during the ice storm?enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989429744464051200.post-14022740138613530082011-01-10T23:44:28.768-05:002011-01-10T23:44:28.768-05:00AwM: I just hate LAAwM: I just hate LAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989429744464051200.post-74537632740067661262011-01-10T23:26:59.864-05:002011-01-10T23:26:59.864-05:00Well my memory is subjective but no, not really.
