LA Chronicles 13.5

I haven’t had a post in awhile because for some strange reason LA isn’t as surprising as it was in my first month. Some have even gone as far to say I’ve bought into the hype of being Hollywood. And by “bought into” I mean pay my rent every month. But I’ve had more interesting things happen lately that inspired me so without further ado…Well I have some ado left first…since I re-watched Finding Forester the other day which I’ll explain why in a minute…when they talk about starting sentences with a conjunction being grammatically incorrect. But I’ve decided to use it as may times as possible for emphasis…

And what is the reason I’m watching old DVDs you may wonder? Earlier this week my cable mysteriously stopped working. I say mysterious because a company that asked not to be named in this post (We’ll call them Warner Time) couldn’t figure out the issue via phone. So they scheduled an appointment to come out three days later. Three days later? It doesn’t seem that big of a deal but imagine not having cable or internet for 72 hours. Needless to say I’ve watched a number of old movies this week from Friday to Kings of Comedy to 8 Mile. Most people ask why didn’t I do something more productive such as reading…and I don’t have a good answer so refrain from asking pointless questions like that…

In other news, I came home the other day to a flyer under my door. I assumed it was your normal “Need a baby sitter”, “Storage Space”, or “Yard Sale”. But of course it couldn’t be that simple in LA. It was an “English Lessons” flyer. The funniest part is they aren’t teaching typical English or Grammer. They actually teach Movie English focused on Comedy, Drama, and Action. Also – the sessions are conveniently two hours. So if I do my math correctly they are putting in their favorite flick, popping popcorn, and inviting people over to their apartment and charging $30 per person.

And I finally found a barber. I was a little taken back last week when I hit a shop that someone recommended but the cat told me a cut cost $50. I’ll wait as you ask WTF?

So yeah this cat was serious. I asked myself what can make a haircut cost $50? Can it be like Costco and I was buying cuts in bulk? Can it be a new type of haircut that keeps your hair from growing…ever? Does he expect a tip on a $50 haircut? Does he have golden clippers? But I did find a barber that charges reasonable prices and actually did his thing on my cut.

And I’ll leave it at that so I can go experience more new things…But before I leave I’m handing out conjunctions…use them wisely:
LA – for the weather…I’m feeling it
RC – for the jumping party at Monroe’s…lol
JH – for stopping through the city of Angels
RA – Happy Birthday
JD – Happy Birthday
SR – Happy Birthday
