i hate it when someone says something and you miss it so you don't say anything back and then 2 minutes later, you realize they had said something but it's too late and would be awkwardly delayed if you tried to respond by the time you realized it. i feel bad for about an hour afterward, especially if they are a nice person.

today, driving into Hollywood, i was thinking about how much i loved that there were tourists swarming around me and how they had the ability to feel some kind of magic about the place. i think there was a point in time (as a kid) when i was excited to go to Hollywood but i don't think i ever felt that magic.
