Who doesn't love 84 degree days in December? Me. I hate it here. La Niña years always suck. The dry wind is killing my nose. It's supposed to be this warm all week.

Oh my gosh, I'd kill for that right now! My hometown is usually anywhere in the mid/high-60 to low-50 range. Now we're getting low 50-high 30 range and the wind chill is AWFUL. I'm warmer in mid 20 degree Minneapolis weather than I am right now.

I've got a silly question for VR, if you're willing to indulge me for a moment. Someone told me recently that it's a regional thing, mostly just a SoCal thing, to say the in front of a freeway number. Like, the 101, the 405, the 605, the 210, etc. I've never really put much thought into it before, but now I'm curious if it's just the way SoCal is. So, if you would like to, put where you're from (the state, I don't want your literal address), and whether or not you say the in front of a freeway or highway number. It sounds weird to me to not say it.

I thought it was just apart of one's street address and some have highways.

In Norcal the traffic people just say the highway number with no the in front of the number.
That's a regional thing in socal.

Gotta be regional as well as, how many syllables are needed, and of course just grammar. The I-95 is said in certain phrases, other times it's "on 95". The I gets to be too much I guess. lmao

I got to cross something off my silly little SoCal staples bucket list. Despite having lived in and around LA County pretty much my entire life, there are quite a number of things I have never done. But, Saturday I got to cross one thing off, thanks to Logan. We went to go see Wake Up Dead Man for it's limited theatrical release. I saw they were doing a run at the TCL Chinese Theatre. I've been close to it, I've been to the Pantages, and the El Capitan which are both on the same street, but I've never actually been to the Chinese Theatre. It was really cool, despite it being an absolute tourist trap on Hollywood Blvd, but, to be that close to some of old Hollywood, it's pretty cool. Seeing the names, the hand and feet prints of actors of a bygone era, and newer ones as well, is neat if you're into the history of Hollywood, or a cinephile. Also, the movie was really good, and one I recommend when it hits Netflix this month.

So, yeah, it was silly and super touristy, but I'm glad we were able to go. Next item I hope to check off soon is going to the Griffith Observatory, which I've never been to. I think going either later this year, or early next year would be nice. Spend the day, catch the sunset over the city. The pictures you can get from the view there can be pretty amazing. The one thing I probably won't be able to cross off, that I really want to, is going to the Magic Castle. Logan used to know people, but I guess those connections have been lost over the years. You can get tickets to the Magic Castle if you stay for like, 2 nights at the hotel associated with it, but that's a lot of money to waste on seeing some magicians. I've looked, and the hotel isn't the cheapest. So, maybe we'll get to do it before we move, but if it doesn't happen, that's okay. I'm so lucky that Logan is willing to indulge me and my silly wants sometimes. We didn't have to see the movie at the Chinese Theatre, there were a number of others in the Hollywood area that were playing it, but I said I'd never been and always wanted to go so he made it happen. He's the best and I love him so much.
