LA!
Yup, I’m here! I made it here on Monday evening around 6pm PST. I could have been here earlier but…
I was eatin’ the road up on Monday. Arizona, most of I-10 through the state, is 75MPH. So I was just coasting. Ya hit California and not only is it slower but there’s not too much of which to see. I guess, however, that you’re driving between two mountain/hill ranges so it’s not horrible I guess.
I made it the Palm Springs area around 3pm. Basically, you reach a very high point and you start coming down for about 20 minutes to the valley which makes up Palm Springs. Ahead in the distance, I saw a bunch of clouds and the closer I got to LA the darker they got. D’oh!
After driving through Palm Springs and past the famous windmills (of which you see every time you visit this website . . . look up at the top of the page), there was some sprinkling. Then it was sprinkling harder. Then the traffic slowed down. Then it was drizzling. Then the traffic was fizzling. And so on.
It rained a few time, scattered showers and clouds most of the drive in. The traffic was just about as scattered as the weather. That’s LA traffic for ya.
So it took me about 2 hours to get about 40 miles. Maybe a little more but I wasn’t really counting either.
I am now here at my new home! First things up were my TV and computer (how obvious can I be?). I’ve spent the past two days shopping for a few things and applying for my first job here, which is officially gonna be at a certain theme park which isn’t Disneyland. I’ll be on the stage crew unless that changes in the near future.
In the next week or so, I’m gonna accompany my roomie to his place of work at the tv studio as well as make a few visits to some studios in the Hollywood area. This will hopefully return some positive results in the near future because I don’t wanna be a stage crew for all that long if possible. However, I’m not gonna give up a sure thing unless I find another sure thing, of course referring to a job.
There’s so much that I could include but don’t know what to put right now. I think I’ll leave it at this for now. I might post some photos in the near future if I can make time. Many, many more stories to come in the future and hopefully my new layout though it’s gonna take a while since I can’t dedicate too much time to it right now.
Later!
