Walking and Clicking
Sometimes it takes a while for me to get the Blog updated.
If you check for updates, and you don't see I made any, you can usually find me over on on My Flickr Page .
I usually update over there once a day, or once every other day.
Walking around Hollywood has been a trip. I mainly need to walk for exercise.
All my hobbies - reading, the internet, movies - well, I sit on my butt.
And my job - doing Accounting - I sit on my butt.
Photography is a good hobby to get me out and moving around.
I actually end up walking more and farther and faster with a camera in my hand.
"Oh, look at That - two blocks away - I need a picture of That so I can post it on Flickr !" and off I go.
Without the camera, I'd look at the two blocks and say "Two more blocks, you've got to be joking."
There's been a few times I come back from my walks, and my legs are actually sore the next day because I walked so much.
And I didn't even realize I was doing it, I was having fun.
What has really been an eye-opener around Hollywood is that about 3 or 4 times, men have actually drove up trying to see if I was a Hooker.
You have got to be kidding me.
I am an Plus-Size woman in her late 40s. In sweats and sneakers. With a camera in her hand.
And its usually the middle of a sunny day.
"Hey, baby where you from ?"
Well, aren't you the idiot, I want to say.
But I just keep walking. And they drive away.
Usually they just drive by and look. And the brighter bulbs must figure it out somehow.
So I try to walk on the sidewalk against the flow of traffic - it makes it harder for them to pull over.
But it really is a sad commentary on society in the city that things like this have to happen.
Anyway, here are a few pics. Click on them for a larger view.
