My entire motel room smells like kiwifruit vodka. I suspect it’s probably masking worse odours. This is the kind of motel a hooker would be ashamed of. The shower is just a pipe with no head that leaks an erratic spray roughly equivalent to a scalding hot sneeze. On days like today, I’d usually sit […]
Read more "Hollywood Drama"Standing in the queue to go through security at LAX, I realised I still had my deodorant in my bag.

They had an exhibition on called Extreme Exposure which was incredible! It focuses on photographers who risk their lives for the perfect shot.

Read more "The Pacific Coast Highway"Today I learned that it is not a good idea to go through the drive-thru three times on the same day that you visit three theme parks.
