Nothing sums up Los Angeles more accurately than "Annie Hall" when Diane Keaton says "It's so clean out here" and Woody Allen replies "That's because they don't throw their garbage away, they turn it into television shows". You have no idea how many trash ideas are thrown around out here. And the people making these shows LOVE to advertise. When friends visit they often remark on the number of film and television related billboards we have. Each studio stakes out several blocks and advertises the hell out of their productions. As I was pumping gas this morning I realized how much I was going to miss the FOX collection of billboards, including, but not limited to the rather savage American Idol one posted above my favorite gas station.
It's best to go on a Thursday morning after they vote someone off. You can actually see men scale the billboard and paint over some poor kid's face, officially ending of their 15 minutes of fame. It's brutal. It's entertaining. It's reality television at it's finest.

This Megan must contact me when she gets here.
I am, like, already, like, totally excited! Squee!
(That is how people talk in Los Angeles, right? Because I have been practicing. That, and bleaching my hair. I want to fit in.)
I think you're confusing L.A. talk with Simon-on-West-Wing-Message-Board speak.
Am I confusing them or noticing an alarming coincidence? Simon? What does "squee" mean? DO YOU KNOW THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF TWP WW FORUM SCARIES?
