HOLLYWOOD

Good days in Los Angeles go like this.

1. Wake up. It's 94 degrees. Again.
2. A bit of writing and work in the morning.
3. It's 94 degrees. Just sayin.
4. A trip to Beachwood Canyon and a hike through the other side of Griffith Park on a mission to trek it up to the Hollywood Sign. Maybe sticker the Hollywood Sign and have photo op.
5. A drive through the Hollywood Hills to get to the INCREDIBLE walk up through the cliffs.
6. About to enter trespass land to the Sign, get thwarted by (it is LA) a huge fashion shoot going on and a lot of park rangers.
7. Walk back down, not too bummed out, cute girls exercising is always a bonus.







8. Go for eats at Jitlada, one of the best Thai spots in LA, in Thai Town. Have a crispy, citrus catfish salad with lime and mango followed by mussels the size of a sea gull's beak and the unctuous glory that is softshell crab. Order ice cold Thai beer.





9. Shower.
10. The opening night private screening of Where The Wild Things Are at the Vista in Echo Park. A gorgeous old theatre with Where The Wild Things Are puffy stickers and Max crowns as it's MFG's birthday. Lots of friends are out.
11. Enjoy Where The Wild Things Are. A lot.




12. Go to the Avalon in Hollywood where Mr Oizo is playing and in town working with two of my homegirls on his new film - which is about an animatronic tire that rolls around the desert, is telekinetic and blows people's heads up.
