mmm LA is a strange place. its not helped that there are a lot of weird people knocking about. not interesting weird so much as scary weird. and its a nightmare trying to get anywhere which is starting to hack me off a little. i was writing this waiting from a bus from getty villa. it only comes about once an hour and does not seen to stick to the timetable so i was stuck waiting indefinately. thankfully although there was a motorway on one side of me, there was a beach on the other. the getty villa is a recreated roman villa (that sounds tacky, its actually not) with a large and notable collection of ancient artefacts. they have a $billions budget to spend every year so as you can imagine its pretty impressive. all the museums in the states seem to have endless budgets and no visitors.
hollywood on the other hand is a bit of a dump. all down the main boulevard where there is the walk of fame there are about a dozen shops that just sell slutty clothing for strippers. i'm kind of disturbed there is enough demand for this although i do like the wig shops. i think my favourite aspect was the cemetery. it called 'hollywood forever'. what a name. it has some good trees as well as some pretty fancy graves. rudolph valentino and johnny ramone are meant to be buried there but i couldn't find them.
