Life in and around Hollywood and Los Angeles as told by Donna Grayson

Saturday, January 29, 2005

Okay, now that I am (almost) over the Walking Pnuemonia thing, I am not posting enough again. Yes, I have been out doing things around Los Angeles. But I still have a cough... but I don't think thats Pnuemonia. I have MOLD in my apartment. Yeah, yucky mold. The last rains were so bad, my apartment and the one next to mine flooded. Now the wall needs to be fixed and re-painted. Oh, well... looking at the News and all the houses that were destroyed in the rain, to just have a flooded apartment isn't to bad. I am thankful that my place is still here, even though it smells gross.

My doctors office is not far from the site of the terrible Metro-link train disaster. The other day I went to the doctor to have him listen to my cough and lungs. I had to drive passed the area where all the huge trucks were. They had most of the actual train-track area blocked off, but I could see the construction trucks. That in itself was sad enough.

On a happier note, I saw an outstanding absolutely gorgeous re-furbished print of Dr. Dolittle - the original 1967 musical with Rex Harrison - at the Egyptian Theatre. Since it was the original version, there was an intermission. I wanted to watch the second half in the balcony. It was just stunning.

Ever heard of a church meeting in a nightclub ? Well, I found out here in wonderful Los Angeles there are two.
Hollywood Presbyterian's C.U.E service meets at The Florentine Gardens on Hollywood Blvd. And the Mosiac Church meets at the Mayan nightclub in downtown Los Angeles. I have attended the CUE service, and I really enjoyed it. The bar atmospere seemed to make the church service much more fun and social.
But ya know, only in L.A.....

What I just finished reading:
A Paper Life .... by Tatum O'Neal
The sad life story of the youngest Oscar winner as she deals with her addictions, family, marriage and career. A sad but inspiring story.

The Power of Intention: Learning to Co-Create Your World Your Way ... by Wayne W. Dyer
I listeded to the book on tape and I loved it. In my opinion, this is a "must read" book for anyone in the creative fields.

Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose ....by Paris Hilton
Okay, you have to admit I do read a variety of different things. There are alot of pics of Paris in this book, so if you are a big fan you will enjoy it. Some of her comments are pretty humorous.

What I am just starting to read:

Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare ... by Stephen Greenblatt
This biography of William Shakespeare is getting alot of good reviews. And for any actor, it is always good to know about this great playwrite.

The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God ....by Lee Strobel
I am listening to the Book on Tape... and the weirdest thing...the author and I attended the same High School !
Only he was there 10 years earlier. He says it was there that his science classes convinced him to be an athiest. (And where my acting classes convinced me to be an actress.) The book is filled with interesting evidence proving the existance of God. Very deep and thought-provoking lessons.


Have a great week !
