LA Insight - Week 6LA Blogs posted this weeks LA Insight: Baby You Can Drive my Car. (beep, beep.) 1. How many hours a week are you stuck in your car? Hmm, first of all, I never feel stuck in my car. I love my car. I love being in my car. But to answer the question, at the moment, I’m spending about 3 hours a week in my car. But hey, I’m on medical leave. Once I go back to work, I expect to be back to the usual 4 or 5. 2. What music is in your car, right now? I’ve got the new Gomez - Split the Difference in the CD player. I’ve been listening to it for several weeks. 3. What do you do while stuck in traffic? Eat? Sing? Primal scream? I never feel stuck, because of the overwhelming smugness that comes with driving a Prius. However, when I drive I sing. Sometimes to the stereo, sometimes I turn it off and just sing for myself. 4. If you could give citations to other drivers for bad behavior, who/ what I don’t care for changing lanes without signaling. I don’t like it when people tailgate. I can’t stand people who slot or people who will come to a stoplight and sit in the far right lane (the turn lane) and then shoot out when the light turns green just so they can pass everyone else at the light. I would also ticket for bad parking. I mean, parking lots have lines, how hard is it to get your damn car inside the lines? 5. What’s your favorite place/freeway to drive in LA? I don’t think I have a favorite place. I don’t really see driving as pleasurable. I like to get where I’m going but I try not to resent the journey. I enjoy the big boulevards like Santa Monica and Sunset and Hollywood because when you’re in stop and go traffic there’s lots to look at. As for freeways, I love driving the 126 from the 5 through Fillmore to Santa Paula. 6. What’s your least favorite? I don’t care for the four level downtown. I think the 5 is more potholes than road. 7. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen another driver do? Hmm, there have been so many, I’m not sure I can classify one as crazier than another. 8. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen left on the side of the road? When I first arrived in LA I was a bit mystified by all the furniture I would see on the freeways. Especially mattresses. Now, I don’t think any of it is crazy. POSTED BY Cybele AT 10:00 am |

During November it's all about me writing a novel. Sometimes it's about whalewatching. You know, and then there's other stuff.
