Wyndham Bel Age West Hollywood

... rides including The Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, Indiana Jones, Big Thunder Mountain railway, Matterhorn Bobsleds and last but certainly not least, Space Mountain (freaky - but the coolest by far!). We also spent a large part of the day wet as they put James in the front of the log ride. He weighed about 20kg more than all other riders therefore ...

... controlling a robot, Mel and Jaz both got up on stage and danced in the Blues Brothers show, and all 3 kids got soaking wet in the Curious George Soak. We all enjoyed the Studio Tour where we went around real filmsets and had a look at some old ones too. The kids loved the Animal Actors so much we went a second time. We had afternoon tea at Mel's Diner in the park and dinner at a nice Chinese Restaurant in Universal City Walk just outside

... moustached flesh, Dr Phil - when we went to the taping of one of his shows.    We'd been given free tickets by a guy down at Venice Beach who ensured us we'd have no trouble getting in because "they often have to pay homeless people to fill the audience." So, on our last full day in town, we arrived at Paramount Studios...and were shocked to see a throng of middle-aged ...

... of made mum watch it before we left, so she would understand. Baker is like the epitome of small town America, I think my fave moment was jumping out to have a cigarette at like 10pm only to realize the "street" (think more like row of trailers, with no wheels) that we had pulled into my as well have had a studio aside it to save Jerry Springer paying for all his guests to fly to his studio. Scary, but funny. We where some where around ...

... glad we did, Santa Monica turned out to be really pretty-lots of nice shops, and a great beach. We happily wandered around for the rest of the day. A definite highlight was finding a 'British Shop', so I bought some dairy milk and heat magazine, it made my day! Overall, LA was good fun, we even managed to find a celeb: Forrest Whittacker in the airport, not quite Cameron Diaz like last year, but not bad! Next stop: San Francisco!

Day 10 It's the first day that I've been in LA with Taylor that he's had to go to work. What this means for me is that I need to find things to do outside his place because he doesn't have an extra set of keys for me to stay at his pad. No worries, this is where the real venturing begins. I saw him off to work and I had plans to do laundry, check out the local library and catch up on the reading, writing and ...

... bronca dele!(!!!) - No primeiro, que estava sem o seu namorado, me deu bom dia. No segundo, que estava com seu namorado (que nem lembro de tê-lo visto) não me deu bom dia. Agora que está sem seu namorado, vem me dar bom dia ! Tenha modos ! " (!!!!) Entrou para a P.... da janelinha dele e fiquei com cara de bunda, entraram uma meninas, sei eu da onde, e ainda deram bom dia para o lazarento ! E não tomaram bronca ...

... shoes back on. So with sock feet, a hand full of ziplocs with my stupid contact solution and chapstick, and my carry on with now seems a ridiculous amount of books I begin running to gate 34. Once I reach 29, no more gates. WTF?? I then realize I am seat 34 and gate 21. Backtrack running again and I find Air New Zealand's desk and 3 agents wide eyed as I thrust my boarding pass at them and sweatily and panting, bending over ask "am I in the right place?" The best words ...

... vi hoere at "sorry to say this guys, but this is not good", noe som ikke akkurat hevet moralen vaar. Vi fikk etterhvert tak i en telefonkatalog og begynte aa ringe rundt til taueselskaper som kanskje kunne hjelpe. Det viste seg da at veldig faa selskaper gadd aa kjoere saapass langt, og de faa som kunne gjoere dette var veldig dyre. Det var snakk om aa taue bilen til den naermeste byen, Kingmen, ganske langt vekke. Til slutt orket vi ikke mer, saa vi ringte et av disse ...

Yesterday I went CD shopping and i bought the special edition of Futures bu Jimmy Eat World, Best of Everclear and Your Favorite Weapon by Brand New. I had a pretty lazy day. I also bought the Roxy LA t-shirt. I found out that Phoebe Faye (my new niece) was born on Wed 20th Oct at 2pm (Melbourne Time ...
