Stars and Photos

by in Cinema, photography, Thoughts :: Pensieri ::

Yesterday I started my day with coffee and croissants in Starbucks, courtesy of Jason from Alertsite who had sent me a Starbucks’ card before I left Ireland.
I wandered around the forecourt of the Chinese Theatre before succumbing and signing myself up for a tour of the stars’ homes.
Yes it is incredibly tacky, but I feel zero guilt :)
Did I see anyone famous? No. The only thing you get to see is the outside of houses of various shapes and sizes … I’ve taken a few photos, though I am beginning to regret not having invested in a better camera, as the lens on my Sony isn’t the best.
After seeing how the other half live I wandered around Hollywood Boulevard some more. The walk of fame goes on for well over a mile on both sides of the street. If you’re not careful you end up walking into people as you spend your time staring at the ground!
It’s obvious that they’re pouring money into some parts, but other areas look really rundown and dodgy.
I’m planning on going to Warner Brothers today, so my driver is picking me up from the hotel at nine. (It’s currently 730am)
I’d like to have a wander around Beverly Hills if I can get back up there. I’ve always been fascinated by overpriced shops :)

    Maybe so, but Rodeo Drive is Rodeo Drive :)

    ah,
    nothing that a good Butler’s “Coffee” shop in Dublin doesn’t have!
    Although one good thing I suppose, no knacker Dublin accents…:P

    Heh
    Here I keep hearing really rough LA accents… It might be the equivalent
