I love LA, Part 1

I love living in Los Angeles, moving here is like falling down a rabbit hole.

This past Friday I was getting my teeth cleaned and complaining about my ever worsening TMJ. My dentist's recommended SHOOTING MY JAW FULL OF BOTOX. The possible side effects of paralyzing my jaw muscles are mind boggling alone, but Wait! There's MORE! Included in the $1,200 price tag were a few injections for my forehead. There wasn't even a price for doing my jaw without my head because no one ever passes up getting some Botox at the dentist. They looked at me like I was the crazy one when I smirked and passed on their fabulous offer. And no sir, I'm not going to go home and give it some more thought.

I'm starting to relate with David Duchovny's Californication character, it really does seem like this town is trying to destroy all it women.

Missing Sister


So if you haven't guessed my plans to get to the yoga studio and go skydiving were thwarted by a family emergency and rain. My big sister is hiding out in a third world country after escaping from her very connected host who was holding her hostage and beating her. I don't know what happened, those were the only details she was able to relate in a very brief IM conversation this morning. She escaped with the clothes on her back and no cell phone, cash or any of her writing journals. She is holed up in a hotel hiding out until her flight out next week. I hope she makes it. I don't know what I would do without her, she pretty much raised me as both my parents worked full time.

I went to the Dentist today for the first time in years and got 4 cavities filled. I had to take pics becbecause my mouth was all puffy from the Novocaine and my outfit was sick, it's a nice effect no?
