I know nothing about the MarQueen, except that the building is very pretty.
It's pretty central.
Cool. I can get a good deal there.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I have working heat again. Which, obviously, will mean that our series of very chilly nights is now over. But at least my failure to light the pilot light was less about my failure and more about a wonky electrical circuit. And there was a wee gas leak. So good on me for actually calling the gas co and then actually keeping the appointment five days later.
Last night when DH tucked her in, Franny climbed into the bed, did a somersault, and then curled up and fell asleep. It's like she's part cat.That is adorable.

Now I am terribly curious as to whether they or the Wild Animal Park are having (or have had) luck breeding them.

When I was thinking they were furry little puffballs of death, I was sort of hoping it was for something that would be dinner not each other.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They talk about the things that stress caged cats. I wonder what psychological effects not hunting has on the carnivores.
I'm sure it'd fuck me up.
Listening to new Right Said Fred. "I Love My Car" is impossibly perky. It's a bit scary.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
One thing that weirds me out about LA is that all the fitness people have at least some marginal involvement in The Industry and hence all look like models.
Depends on what one means by "LA". I was born in LA proper and was raised in South Pasadena. I went to school at UCLA. I lived in LA 'til I was 21 or so. I really didn't run into the stereotypical LA people talk about all that much. They filmed some in So Pas and at my school. My brother went to UCLA's Theater School so I met Jack Black well before he was famous and started hearing a little industry terminology. But in general, life for people outside of West LA is pretty normal. Our health care pros look like health care pros anywhere else. It's West LA that's a different world. But even going to school at UCLA and living in Westwood, I didn't run into it much. I didn't have money to belong to a gym and I wasn't going to chiros yet because my family thought chiros were quacks.

My chiro's not in West LA. And when I went to West Hollywood for coffee I was stunned by how industry the cafe was. When I lived with Allyson in Los Feliz, celebrities were thicker on the ground than they are around me in West LA (well, except for at my gym).

That's one thing I'm aware of that's really changed. The part of Los Feliz that wasn't the hills was kinda chintzy when I lived there. I hear it's quite the rage now.
Silverlake was just a year or two down the road in its gentrification process. I gather there are some other neighborhoods that were working class in my time and aren't now.
WeHo is included in my definition of West LA. You gots to remember that us folks from the SGV think y'ALL are West. :) Of course WeHo's going to be think with industry.
I'm still trying to catch up with the Buffista stuff. Last I knew you were living in Irvine, ita. Glad you're closer to the action now because West LA's got to be more your speed than Irvine.

I wonder what psychological effects not hunting has on the carnivores.It's why they have a cheetah run at the Wild Animal Park. They get to chase and "kill" the lures. Makes them much much happier.
