• How the Pimp Stole Christmas & What a Difference a Month Makes

   

  I went to my first Christmas party of the season tonight.  For reasons that will be revealed in a week or two, one of the guests was dressed as, well, see for yourself.  Before the party started though, I snapped a few photos of the the gorgeous sunset.  For comparison, the first photo is one I took a month ago during the fires.  I took the second picture tonight in the same location.  The sky is still pretty, but luckily not smoke filled.

  It rained today in Los Angeles for the first
  time in what seemed like years.  Though the rain was quite
  welcome, it also caused a lot of trouble in the burn areas from last
  month.  It was nice though for a change.

  

  My brother David and his girlfriend
  Rebecca arrived today for a short stay.  We went to Hollywood
  tonight for dinner and a movie.  We were going to see “Hitman”
  at Grauman’s Chinese Theater, but when we found out it only got a 14 on
  Rotten Tomatoes, we asked for our money back!  (I
  had bought the tickets online, before checking. 
  Dumb.)  We instead opted for dinner at Hollywood & Highland, as I had a
  $25 gift certificate.  Hollywood after a good rain, is a
  different place.  Everything shines a little
  brighter.  It was as if I was photographing some
  things for the first time.  After coming home, we watched the
  latest two episodes of Nip/Tuck.  I think this season is
  as good as the second one.  They never cease to amaze me with
  the storylines they come up with. That’s it, short entry, as I still
  haven’t caught up on my sleep from Portland.  Have a good
  weekend.

   

  Everybody comes to
  Hollywood,

  They want to make it in the
  neighborhood.

  They like the smell of it in
  Hollywood,

  How can it hurt you when it looks so
  good?

  Song of
  the day. (It was either this or the Jonas Brothers, Christine!!)
