Alex<\/a> is one of my best friends in the world. Today is her birthday. I thought in honor of this momentous occasion, I would re-post (in all its parts) the crazy day we had in Los Angeles a couple of years ago. And when I say crazy, I mean it involved scrunchies and suddenly failing car-brakes near the Hollywood Bowl. It involved jazz hands, and many Armenians. It involved a dead body on the sidewalk lying in a pool of blood. It also involved (peripherally) Timothy Treadwell. There was a boa, McNuggets inhaled at the speed of light, and at one point, we both found ourselves hooked up to e-meters on Hollywood Boulevard. Because that’s what happens when you have a crazy day. You submit to e-meter analysis in broad daylight.<\/p>\n

The only way to read it is to read it sequentially.<\/p>\n

It is, bar none, the craziest day I have ever had. It’s also one of my most favorite days. It takes some time to read, but it is worth it. I don’t exaggerate one bit. It is part of a series called Things Experienced So Far in LA.<\/p>\n

Happy birthday, Alex. I love you!<\/p>\n

It involved a stakeout beforehand. It was a brilliant day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
