So I’m off to Los Angeles again for the 4th of July weekend.
Why? Friend’s 30th birthday (he’s not happy about it, I’ll tell ya now!) and an excuse to go somewhere for the long weekend.
It’s also a good reason to go to Little Tokyo and have a lot of ramen and curry.
Mmmmm. Curry!
I got my gas bill from the road trip I took during Memorial Day. I have concluded that factoring the time spent on the road combined with the exorbitant price of gas, flying becomes more cost-effective.
So I’m flying down. Yea!
Ha ha HA!
Yes, I’m still here.
Not really going anywhere this summer. “Anywhere” meaning overseas.
Autumn is the time to go because I will have saved up some money and tickets are cheaper.

So there’s a new movie coming out called “The Terminal“. It’s a story about a man whose country disappears while he is in route to JFK. Because of that his passport and travel documents are worthless once he lands. It’s a dramedy and Catherine Zeta-Jones is a UA flight attendant who befriends him while he’s in limbo. Disclaimer: UA was involved in the filming of this flick.
Now this is where the movie jumps to science fiction. Since WHEN did UA flight attendants look like Catherine Zeta-Jones?
Short answer: They don’t. They look more like Kathy Bates (with the same attitude) in Misery.
Which ironically is what most passengers are in when they’re on UA.
But despite this, I’ll probably check it out. Although it’s obviously a date flick, the fact that Catherine Zeta-Jones is in it makes it worthy to see.

Is it too early to rant about not being able to travel overseas because it’s high season and everyplace is hella expensive?
Nope? I thought not.
AArrrrrggh
Just got back into town last night from LA. Despite it being the end of Memorial Day weekend, the drive was pretty quick.
It wasn’t congested any more than usual on the 5, but approaching Casa De Fruita, BAM! Gridlocked traffic, took an hour to go 2 miles.
No shit.
There were a lot of tourists and holiday drivers on the road (both who need to be on buses). How can I tell? Well, regular drivers dun usually do this, which I saw in quantity.
Got home over an hour late. Annoying…
