Well, this has been an interesting year, hasn’t it? Look, it’s a pretty rough time, we all know that, but wallowing isn’t going to help anybody, so try let’s try and be positive, okay? To keep myself somewhat sane, and direct my energies to something constructive, I’ve spent the last several months growing this Notflix…

Violence, sleaze, drugs, and filth in Hollywood
An itemized list of my impressions of Los Angeles There’s very little I can tell you about Los Angeles that hasn’t been already been said countless times before. There is no new revelation to be found in repeated tales of shattered dreams and careless degeneracy in the Hollywood Hills. You know all about that stuff already, everybody knows it….
Do I feel lucky?
I cannot recall ever visiting a place as covered in graffiti as I encountered while travelling through Athens last week.
