On LA
After mycroftca:
| LA Insider You scored 78 Angelenos! |

Ten Things
In the footsteps of alenxa, maldis, and sekl, LiveJournal proudly presents:
TEN THINGS I HAVE DONE THAT YOU PROBABLY HAVE NOT:
- Played Paul Gaugin in a musical.
- Gotten a cease-and-desist letter over a website.
- Watched the Olympic torch bearer run down my street. (In 1984, the route went right past my apartment complex. I have pictures.)
- Visited the crypt of the Capuchin Monks (links arranged in order of increasing photo/text ratio) [Note 2017: How appropriate that all three of those links are now dead.]
- Read Heart of Darkness four times.
- Seen Les Misérables (the musical) eight times.
- Gambled in the Grand Casino in Monte Carlo. (OK, so it was just 50 francs in a slot machine.)
- Run six or seven versions of Linux on the same computer, simultaneously.
- Been allergic to someone I dated.
- Made a telescope.
