Grid Locked!

Haven't updated the FCU in the last couple of weeks, mainly because we haven't watched a movie in the last couple of weeks because we have been in Super Sunny Los Angeles California covering the Electronic Entertainment Expo. After spending a week in Los Angeles I have to seriously question why anyone would actively pursue living there unless you have an affinity towards concrete, overcrowding and traffic. And exorbitantly high liquor prices. And ten percent sales tax. And having four roomates. And no pro football team. Now if you like those things then L.A. is a virtual dreamland but I don't really care for high sales tax and constant traffic gridlock so me and L.A. didn't get along that well, but of course to each his own.

It took our crew almost two hours every day to make it from Studio City to downtown, despite the fact that Studio City is, what... fifteen miles away from downtown? And it really doesn't seem to matter what time of day either. You would think that at 11:00 A.M most folks would be at work, but not in Los Angeles because these poor people are sitting on a freeway going only heaven knows where. Imagine, if you are sitting in traffic for two hours to where you have to go and two hours to return, in six days that would equate to one whole day of your life wasted sitting in traffic and the citizenry of this city deal with this every single day. It has to be driving them crazy. Has to be.

Of course the weather is very nice though there is this smoggy, cancer causing haze covering everything, the ladies are plentiful and pretty as they try to avoid the Porno Pitfalls on their way to stardom and driving the rented Town Car down Laurel Canyon Boulevard was a blast ... but the gridlock... man, talk about a deal breaker. What in the hell was Randy Newman talking about?
