Uncle Traveling Matt: Arrgh

Arrgh

I'm still coming to grips with the shit that's gone down in the last week, however to cut a long story short, I'm staying at Mike's place again and have my feet on the ground once more. I now have a supermarket club card (and am saving a bomb on my groceries), have figured out the LA metro system (buses & trains) and am now trekking all-around the greater LA area.

In other previous news I met comedian Christopher Titus, from the Titus Show and Rides on the Discovery Channel, found out that Pink's house is just around the corner from here, and that they were filming a movie right outside the apartment the other day and I didn't realise! (at least until I saw 14 truck trailers parked up a long the street, lol!)

I'm heading down to Venice Beach this weekend, and am thinking about going to Disneyland sometime next week—depending on what my work schedule is like. Was down near Compton / South Central today, don't think it's nearly as dangerous as people make out, though I prob wouldn't want to be there after dark. Everyone I met was quite pleasant, in fact I've met nothing but a string of really nice people all over LA today (did about 6hrs travelling today). All in all I'm quite happy in the city of angels—it's starting to feel like home.
