Sittin’ on the dock of the bay.

So this week has kicked me into overdrive and has made me an official Angeleno (apparently the name by which Los Angeles residents refer to themselves by.)

Sunday:
A birthday pool party at a swanky LA hotel. iPhones littered the tables and Prada sunglasses were left abandoned poolside with half drank glasses of champagne. Fabulous people and a fabulous DJ. Surreal.

Monday:
Editing at a trailerhouse across the alley from CBS studios. I could peer over into their lot and see contestants of the Price is Right exiting with their giant yellow name tags.

Tuesday:
My very first earthquake. 5.8 on the Richter scale. Not quite as scary as I would have thought, but definitely unnerving.

I hate to think what Wednesday might bring.

You have one of those swank LA lifestyles now!

I took a suicide call last night and spent 37 rather excruciating minutes attempting to be soothing over the phone while trying to subtlety fanangle information as to where the guy was at, what he looked like, and how close he was to actually killing himself. I also learned that I can come across as an active listener via lots of “uh huhs,” “oh reallies?,” and “yes, I understands” in between putting that line on mute and contacting 911 via another phone.

I saw this special on the Discovery Channel about how they design skyscrapers in metro places along fault lines. The general layout is that the buildings are put on this foundation of giant ball bearings and it’s supposed to sway a hell of a lot, rather than crumble. I don’t think I’d like that sensation.

………I want to play CoD5. Sigh.

Is it funny that you’re SOOOO very LA and yet you still blog on TD?
You should go on the Price is Right!
