Robyn and I went to Venice Beach and had a blast rollerblading. Then we got some lunch and took a siesta. Que Bueno macho man! As the summer draws to a close, fun in the socal sun is the greatest thing to behold. Rays sprinkle my face as the blades slice the cement path ahead. Robyn and I glide, now accustomed to the new rules of forward motion. But we weren't always this foot facile. Almost 30minutes before we were stumbling and blubbering when Robster took a dive in the pavement. Like a good girl she rose to her feet and vowed not to do any more Ice Princess tricks. It's a joy to fine a new peace in a city where you have lived for years. Maybe it took a while to embrace the beauty ... read more

Today we had to bid a sad farewell to our dear friend Sooty (aka the pea). After a rather hectic jorney from Hollywood to the bus stations, Sweep and I dropped our baggage off at our hostel in Venice Beach (suffering a VERY traumatic journey involving many sweaty large people) and raced to meet Fee at LAX Airport. We spent ages looking for her and figured she must have already checked in. We were both ready to cry our eyes out as we hadn't even had the chance to say goodbye, but then we saw her small head and her little hand waving and we both scampered over feeling very relieved. After an elated chat and a drink at Starbucks we escorted her to the check in line and it was time to say our goodbyes. ... read more

So leider ist es schon eine Weile her, als ich das letzte Mal “geblogt” habe. Somit habe ich nun sehr viel Schreibarbeit vor mir, da wir in den letzten Tagen bzw. Wochen relative viel erlebt haben. Wie im letzten Blogeintrag noch erwaehnt, sind wir also nach einem 13stuendigen Flug in L.A. angekommen. Mir machte die Zeitverschiebung und die schlechte Luft im Flugzeug zu schaffen und ich war die ersten zwei Tage krank im Bett. Als ich mich dann wieder etwas gefangen hatte, haben wir am dritten Tag Bikes gemietet und sind am Meer entlang gefahren (war wie bei Baywatch, irgendwie cool). Am naechsten Tag dann, gingen wir auf Promi-Jagt. Zuerst fuhren wir mit einem Touristenbus durch L.A. und sahen uns die Stadt an. Das Mittagessen genossen wir in Hollywood, fuhren dann zum Hollywoodlogo und spaeter ... read more

Its been nice and relaxing here in L.A. I hung out with Owen and Courtenay on Thursday night. We got some really great sushi and then just crashed - still recouperating from the night before. On Friday Jeff picked me up after work and we went to his apartment in Venice Beach. We hung out with one of his friends who is a manager at his house in the hills. It was ridiculously gorgeous, but felt like a museum... I wish I had thought to take pictures. The next day Jeff had to teach an acting class so I wandered around Venice Beach looking at all the cheesy tourist items and the general parade of freaks. The beach was quite beautiful. That night we went to see "Blades of Glory" - which I worked on ... read more
