L.A. thus far (plus, Emo is hilarious)

I have steadfastly avoided tourist attractions, including the "offbeat" ones that are supposedly less uncool. So far, I've seen at least one enormous Scientology building, a tar pit, some kind of notable lake, and the building where Disney had his first studio, all out the passenger-side car window, which is fine by me.

I'm not much of a traveler. I go someplace unlike home, and I immediately try to make it as much like home as possible, by going to Whole Foods and purchasing the exact same groceries I buy at home, and then finding a gym, and then setting up my computer, and then stealing a black-and-white patterned cat and sternly instructing it in acting like my home cat.

On a more legendary note, I had dinner with the great Emo Philips, who is a good friend of Lord's, and then we all went to Emo's fiancee's show at the Improv Olympics (now "I.O. West"). For being Emo Philips, the man is quite humble, and extraordinarily nice. Here's a Flash joke-thing from Emo's site that he encourages others to post on their sites. Watch me comply!
