We're having a great time in LA! Seeing lots of movies, eating tons, and taking many pictures (which I should have up on the site in a day or two). I'm anxious about flying back to Philly tomorrow evening...there's supposed to be a lot of snow. Hopefully they'll get the rock salt out and clean that jaun up.
After Jeremiah picked me up at the airport in New Orleans on Saturday, we drove through some rural marshy areas. Here are some trees and the bridge crossing the Mississippi River.
I blogged earlier that we dined at Randol's, a Cajun restaurant in town. Ron Howard was there, but we didn't get a chance to talk to him. D'oh! Here's a picture of one of Jeremiah's pet crawfish (I tried crawfish, and disliked it). Food that stares at you just doesn't fly for me.
We saw Vanilla Sky again today in town. That movie rocks. Happy New Year's to everyone!
Jeremiah and I are having a great time in LA. Last night we went to a Cajun restaurant, discovering afterwards that the director Ron Howard was dining there as well. Dammit...and I wanted to congratulate him on casting Adam Goldberg and Anthony Rapp in A Beautiful Mind. Boo!
