-be reasonably arid.
-be possessed of a public transit system with any dynamism. or intelligent layout: Burbank airport -> Union Station -> Hollywood? in over 45 minutes, with trains once every hour for the Burbank->Union segment?


-have a degree of quietude.
-surprisingly, have any appealing eyecandy out at noon.

        So I'm down pretty much every other week: working @ hollywood & cauhenga; sleeping nr. HOllywood & Highland.
        
        I'm all tangled up this evening, heading home on fri night-- but I'll definitely keep you posted as to when I'm going to be in LA!
        
        (And for some reason I had San Diego in mind as where you lived. Bzuh?)

  Come to Vancouver!
  
  It is disgustingly arid just now.
  I'm afraid that I can't speak highly of Translink, but it does get me places.
  It is currently reasonably quiet.
  This is not your sort of eye candy, but I followed a stunningly attractive young woman this afternoon for three blissful blocks as I walked to my bank and she walked to the beach, wearing almost nothing but a very well-done tattoo up her spine.
  
  Rrowr.
  
  Anyway, my neighbourhood is full of your kind of cutie. :)

    Oh, 'eyecandy' is 'people I enjoy looking at': everyone I saw on the way from the train to the office was fuuuugly.

        Example:
        The lady behind the bar @ Noc Noc is eyecandy.
        She is intriguing and interesting to look at, in a pleasing way.

          I tease you like a teasing thing.
          
          Also: that's a nice picture of you up there. It captures your distantly unimpressed expression v. well.

              I cannot imagine you being so flamboyant with the hand though.

                Actually, I've indulged in exactly that gesture.
