A Few of My Favorite Things
Ever since relocating to what I now refer to as the L(g)A(y) a lot more things seem to annoy me especially tourists. Given I live on a side block of the mothership of tourism, Hollywood walk of fame, Kodak theater, Grauman’s *Chinese Theatre e**tc. etc. Now crowds have always given me the hee bee gee bees, but there is something especially bothersome about the crowd that
gathers on my block of Hollywood Blvd. and that would be that they are always trying to take damn pictures.*
ahhhhh! the infuriation that comes with this is really unbelievable, at first it was whatevs I would stop and let them take their dumb little picture in front of the theater or in front of the mannequins at the Louis Vuitton shop but now it has gotten to the point where I don’t care if I get in front of their pictures, I got places to go, food to eat, people to harass.
The most annoying tourist though if by faaaaaar the ones that lay down (or lean down doing some dumb pose) on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to get a picture of them and the star.
Now this can sometimes be fun, after a long day or night when you need the comic relief its pretty entertaining to guess who their taking a picture with. Like if you see a crowd of blonde teens giggling taking pictures on the walk I would guess the Olsen twins or you see a group of thugged out juvenile delinquents they’re always looking at Jaime Foxx’s star or looking into the porno stores.
The last thing I would like to rant about this time around would be the Hollywood Blvd. characters.
Spongebob, I hate you. The person in this costume is annoying, he harasses me with compliments everytime I pass him by. At first it was flattering, until I realized he was complimenting every woman that passed by–not cool Spongebob, not cool at all.
and I’m pretty sure caption Jack Sparrow recognizes me now
because he just doesn’t try with me anymore.
