Curious

I've been day playing on this job, filling in for someone. I've worked four days, three of which were spent in a beautiful forest, which I didn't think existed within 100 miles of LA. All told, we saw a bobcat, two rattlesnakes(really!), and countless lizards, squirrels, and insects.

Driving there in the mornings, the call time was at a decent hour, which meant I had to squeeze by a section of traffic going to downtown and then I was free going against the traffic. My route took me from the 10 East to the 110 North, to the 5 East, to the 2 North. I think I spent 6 or 7 minutes on each freeway. A bit different from the Bay Area.

Also, the Lady Purity hit 88,888 miles when I drove up to my humble abode at the end of a day.

Name Explaination

So, here we are. New life, new blog. Basically this blog will document(perhaps infrequently, though hopefully I'll get a groove going) my adventures in the city of dreams, Los Angeles.

This title came from a dream. I was being chased by a monster. Very interesting monster. Can't really describe it very well in any sizable way. Anyway, I was in this hamster wheel type thing, that was rolling down the street. I was peddling it, and we were booking! And then I realized that the wheel was powering the monster, and when I jumped out, the monster came to a crashing halt. So, yeah. That's the story. Which is a nice metaphor to the grinding work I'll be doing in order to try and find work on a good story. Working the lame content until something awesome comes along. Anyway, I've been here for almost 4 weeks now, had many crazy things happen, met some interesting people, and I'll write some more when I have more time.

And no, I was not under the influence of anything the night before I had the dream. Just so that's clear.

And I was going to compare the dream to a Salavdor Dali painting, but I don't think it was quite that awesome. Almost.
