C and I (played 10-minute hooky from work and) went directly across the street to peep the fire in the Hollywood Hills. Apparently, it was worse–that is, more orange and more brown–just an hour prior. Nonetheless, we were determined to get our shots and since there were no windows in the hallways of the building, we politely asked what looked like a physical fitness industry marketing company if we could “use their windows.”

yeah we could hear the choppers from my bf’s apt…hopefully none of the firefighters will get hurt
I went to laguna beach on saturday. And on the way there was this thick ass cloud of white something we drove through…smoke…maybe fog…i have no idea. Maybe this was it cause we hit the beach at 3pm. But hollywood is in the opposite direction. oh well…i still had fun. And yes i was in LA and had a blast =)
