LA Insight - Scooby Doo, Where Are You?

"Show me all the rules, girl. I just wanna get 'em wrong." - Ben Kweller, The Rules [buy the album] Still the only meme I could ever commit to - LA Insight. 1. What city or part of Los Angeles do you live in now? I live in the land where it's always a few degrees hotter than everywhere else, yet the beach is only 12 miles away. The land of Time Warner Cable, Target, and the Topanga Mall. The West Valley is where it's at, suckas. 2. If you have lived somewhere else in the area, where was it? I've lived in Van Nuys & North Hollywood. BVN 4 Life! 3. Besides where you live now, where else would you want to live in the area? I love Studio City and Burbank on this side of the hill. Los Feliz and Silverlake on the other side of the hill and Marina Del Rey and Mar Vista on the westside. 4. Where would you not want to live? Culver City annoys me. Even though the vast majority of people I hang out with live in Hollywood and WeHo, I don't think I can do it. I don't want to live North Valley (Northridge, Chatsworth, etc.). 5. How often do you venture out of your area? The better question is how often am I actually at home. I'm always all over the city. I gots people to see. 6. Where do you usually go when you get out? Hollywood was built for the nighttime. Last night, for example, we hit Beauty Bar, Star Shoes, Beauty Bar again and then Forty Deuce...but this was after a meal in the valley at Mexicali where Jamie Pressly and Mai Tai drinking grandmas can get down on some empanadas in the same place. 7. How far do you work/school from where you live? Exactly 8 miles. But we don't talk in miles here do we? So, 12 minutes when the 101 is clear and 18 minutes at the longest on surface streets (Both Victory and Vanowen boulevards drive very smoothly in the morning). 8. Money is no object; Beach, the Hills, the City or Leave? Money is no object? Well, then, I want a house in the East Bay that I can go to on the weekends and when I need to get away and a standing suite at The Mondrian or Chateau Marmont. Hmmm, so I guess I could live in Hollywood.
