I often take for granted the beauty in the city that I live in. It's not until I have someone visiting that start seeing my town anew, from a refreshing perspective. Living in this city too long, sitting in traffic, and dealing with angry, bitchy people have taken a toll on me.

Most people only see photos of movie premiers in Westwood in magazines. I live in this city and take it for granted. I disdain premiers. They cause street blockage and traffic jams. All the years of going to UCLA and having to drive through Westwood Village have left a bitter taste in my mouth regarding the hoopla surrounding premiers. Though I realize that they might be a bore to me, some people would die to see a star in person.

From my log, I see that I get a lot of traffic to my site from outside of the U.S., so I need to keep in mind that something I find boring might not be boring to someone who doesn't live here. So, here I have captured one of my favorite activities, going to movies at big theaters late at night. Fox is a great theater to watch a movie in. I have many fond memories associated with the place. It is also the theater that many movies make their debut. Long lines surround the building during those times as people flock to catch a glimpse and mingle with the stars. We all want our 15 minutes of fame. In this city, most girls I know live by the saying: If you can't be star, go sleep with one.
