LA Obs

I've been here now well over a month, so here are some 'things' I've observered so far...

Californians cannot drive (and that's compared to the diplomats in DC)
Is this because they are always eating, talking on the phone (not handsfree), or simply one of those minority groups that everyone knows can't drive? I don't know, but here I'm a GREAT driver. Scary, ain't it?

When you Mapquest, multiply the drive time by a factor of 3
Make that x10 during rush hours.

If it's 3 blocks away, why walk when you can drive
And yet...

Bodyfat is scarce, being overly tan is not
It may be just around the WeHo, Beverly Hills, and west side areas, but everyone has a 6-pack and that little vein on their arm which pops ever so. And yet, there are more burger joints and diners than any other city I've been.

There's a LOT of REALLY bad hair
Maybe they are all hoping to get wisked off the streets by stylists in training (a la Blowout).

Straight men are hotter than the gay guys
But it is so hard to tell who is what out here.

Everyone looks so familiar
Maybe they've been coffee swilling extras in Central Perk or played Nosey Neighbour #2 on Wisteria Lane. There are also a lot of DC transplants out here.
