Here are some things I encountered on this week's trip to southern California:

• a vegetarian chili dog in Ventura
• "You're the Only One" by Maria Mena, many times
  (yes, I have a problem with teen pop singers whose initials are MM)
• family
  
• the Killers on SNL
• the ocean
  
• Taco Mesa
• In Good Company
• delightful pop music by Richard Swift at Detroit Bar
• the Warner Brothers Studio Tour
  (the most touristy thing I have ever done in LA, and possibly anywhere)
  
  • ER characters' hospital ID badges, including one for "Nella Rasgotra"
    (was it a mistake or the simulation of a mistake?)
  • Stars Hollow
  • the Gilmore mansion
  • Luke's boat
  • Sookie
• The Aviator at the Vista
  
  (if at some point I too become a complete basket case, unable to take care of myself, and need to call a trusted friend to tidy me up enough to go out in public, please, let it be Kate Beckinsale)
• the Weepies at Room 5
  (even more than the great songs and the blend of their voices, it's the way they get a kick out of each other on stage--they're just so cute)
• no vacancy in Goleta
• a rest area at 2 AM
• Buellton at 3
• grilled biscuits at Margie's Diner

BTW I've been posting more photos to Flickr than I've mentioned or posted here. The ones from this trip are all in a set.

Re: Kate or Cate?

At least three of my favorite movies star Katharine Hepburn, and I've seen them a lot, so Cate Blanchett was, like, impressive, but a little bit skin-crawly for me.
