I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

if you went to Torrance in the late morning, you could hit the Venice/SM area on your way back up
Most def this is easy to do. Frankly, there's not much out toward where the house and High School are (except a big mall with the aforementioned Chick Fil A inside) so it's not much to see (classes are in session at the school so you can't get in and the house is a private residence so you'd only be able to drive by). Not that Torrance isn't a lovely place to visit (they have one of the last vernal marshes left in So Cal) but I'd say if it's between Santa Monica and Torrance? Choose Santa Monica, Go Santa Monica.
EtA: Ohhhh I love the Getty! Choose that!!!!

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Though, I'm not sure where you're staying but, if you went to Torrance in the late morning, you could hit the Venice/SM area on your way back up.
I'm staying in the Wilshire Grand - which was a bitch for getting to and from the expo. Tomorrow looks like a public transport day if I go to Venice/SM/Torrance. Public transport seems to be the one thing I dislike internationally.

Oh, in Allyson's recap of the Expo, she forgot the part where we were compared to Trekkies.
I was in the ladies room, washing my hands, and some of the women (I assume they were also attending Tim's seminar) were talking about Firefly. One woman had never seen the show and the others were encouraging her to get the DVDs.
Woman A: "Plus you get to see the whole series. They only aired 4 or 5 on TV."
Me: "They aired nine."
Woman B: "Wow. This is like being at a Star Trek Convention!"
ETA: Have you been to Universal? You could easily hop on the red line from downtown and go up there. There's Universal Studios, CityWalk and the IMAX theater.

I was called a walking-talking-IMDB when I told the people behind me that Alex was Ivan Sergei and said Ben Edlund wrote "Jaynestown". I now wear the title of a walking-talking-IMDB proudly.
And no one had heard of The Inside.
ETA: I did the City Walk last year but did not have time to do the studio bit at Universal. That sounds like Wednesday planned.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That was that movie with Russell Crowe, right?
Or, wait, maybe that Spike Lee movie about the bank heist.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
The Serenity mule is parked at Universal. I'm not sure where, they moved it a few times.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
The Serenity mule is parked at Universal. I'm not sure where, they moved it a few times.
If you go on the tour, it is parked with the other movie cars. I went a few weeks ago with some people from work and I squeed when I saw it. I'm such a dweeb.
