    I can't believe I'm actually gonna say this, but Utah is just so much nicer.

    Whatcha doing up this early on a Saturday morning? I thought it was only this old lady who is having night sweats and heart palpitations.
    Oh wait, maybe the baby had a rough night...been there with that, too.
    At any rate, missing LA and its nice weather must have its reasons. A very pretty picture--smog and all.

    Yeah, it is kind of creepy. It looks like an abandoned ghost city or something. :P Really cool picture, though. :)

    I went to L.A. last year, and was amazed at all the fake boobs that are REALLY THERE! No, people, it's not a myth!

    I was in LA once, making a connecting flight to Hawaii. Seeing that I was terrified of flying and was making my first plane trip, alone, from NC to Hawaii, I don't remember much. Not that I actually saw LA. Just the airport. I remember being freaked out when the plane took off over the ocean.

    I hurts to breathe just looking at that! great picture though.

    So, I looked at the thumbnail and thought "well, it _looks_ like a city-scape, but yesterday's pic looked like plumbing, so who the heck knows what it is really going to be."
    (yes, I have bad grammar even when I think to myself)

    click

    bummer. It really is a city view.

    No, really, I wasn't that bummed out. It is a good shot. I like the shadowy buildings in the foreground. And the comment about it looking like an abandoned ghost city (maxigumee) fits with yesterday's skeletal/ghost-like picture of Chuck.

  • Michelle Brady said:

    That really is a cool picture. I wonder where it was taken, and how far away from the city Dooce actually was when she took it.

    Now I just want to kick my own ass for not reading the title before asking my ridiculous question. Although I don't know where Runyon Canyon is, so I suppose it's still valid.

  • Lewis said:

    I never liked LA, i don't like places that they write songs about usually.

    You'll never hear a song about Sandy Ut.

  • Gia said:

    Oh! I love LA... and I hate it too. Lived there for 3 years... There is just something about that "city" that makes me go back yearly - and that is quite a trek from where I live now!

    Wow. The smog is out of control.

    I just can't picture Dooce in L.A. Not that you aren't super fabulous. I'ts just my own perception I'm sure. When I think L.A. I think billions of cars, and boobs, and botox and Jean Claude Van Damme.

    Oh..I just had a little panic attack.

    About boobs, somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 million American women have breast implants. That's 4 million fake boobs.
