Apt Hunting in Hollywood!

So one down and I'm sure plenty to go...So as I mentioned that I ended up taking a place, but then he had to back down the next day due to the fact that the Hummer was too big and the neighbours complained...Fuck them!! The guy did sound generally sorry about it, so whatever I'm over it.

After a pretty shitty day of emailing people back and forth I might have a few other leads, but man it's exhausting.  Actually I find almost everything exhausting..Hummm, wonder why that is?? The only problem is this is a crazy expensive town and that place was a little cheaper than the rest.  Mind you it wasn't as nice either, but in a decent location.

If it wasn't for our exchange rate then it wouldn't be so bad, but man $2000 turns into $2600 really quick.  That's like 2.5 times my mortgage back home..haha, Insane!  Oh well it is Hollywood.  See there are places around, say 30-40 minute drive out of the way that are alot better priced, but then I have to filter in all the other things.  Gas, Cabs, Entertaiment.  See If I am doing a set on sunset in west hollywood, then parking is 20$ and I have to stay sober, which is pretty unlikely or the other option is a cab(which are cheaper than Ottawa surprisingly) but then if I live far away it could be 30-40$ for a cab...Not an option!

I know you're thinking that these really are minor worries, but I need to get into a groove here and these little things add up. I guess I could live in the Hummer in a Walmart parking lot, but I've got bad knees so that's not an option.  I could sublet and live with someone, arghhh...nah I can't do it.  I want to be able to shit and be proud of it, but seriously I'd hate to walk on eggshells in my own place, so that's not an option.

So that leaves me having to pay more than I want, to be closer to where I want to be so that I can do what I want to do.....makes sense!! That even blew my mind.

Either way something will work out in the next few days, I'm not too worried about it.  Scotty and Aneta are the best hosts and said I can stay as long as I wanted and actually insisted on it, but as mentioned to them I need to get into my mind straight, get back to writing and start focusing and I need my own place for that.  It's just a matter of time.

The Good news is that through all that apartment crap yesterday, I comic I met at the Comedy store on friday night emailed me to say that he was hosting a Gig in Hollywood this friday and asked if I could go do 10 minutes..So that's good.  I need to practice as much as I can and I;ll bring all new material this time, hell why not!  He also mentioned that they are cool with bringing my equipment so we can film it and post it.

BTW the new site is gonna be sick!! It's in the making!!!

Anways that's about it for now.  I'll let you know how the apartment thing ends up
