[Part of my challenge to give something away every day for 29 days]
This should’ve gone up yesterday, but I got home too late…. My friend Desdemona had a housewarming party last night, and my gift was a copy of Greenopia so she could start life in her new home a lil more eco –
Sadly, said new home is in the valley. Isn’t it sad when bad things happen to good people? Let’s just say yesterday was my first and last time taking the bus there. Not that I’d drive out there with any frequency — It’s the rare city person that’ll willingly go out to Studio City on a Saturday night — even for a friend’s housewarming, I found out last night.
It was nice knowing you, Des! Actually, I’ll see Des at happy hour on Wed. In Santa Monica.

You hate the Valley that much? You will only meet friends on your turf? what kind of friend are you? Or is that just more humor? Maybe you could use your humor to put pressure on the MTA to improve public transportation to and from the Westside and Valley instead of dissing a community of people.

I never said my friends would not visit. Please re-read what I posted.

I didn’t say you did, Dean. I’m jokingly conjecturing that your friends won’t visit — which would explain the reason you’re cranky and touchy.
My conclusion’s that many valley people can’t take jokes v. well b/c they’re too sensitive about the cool factor (or lack thereof) of where they live.

I think/hope Siel doesn’t hate the Valley that much; she hates the commute that much, whether by bus, car, Segway, or what have you.
