I can now say I have a friend &#8220;in entertainment.&#8221; I know she will take Hollywood by storm. It was hard packing her up on the east coast a few weeks ago for the move out here, but she so obviously belongs here that my joy at her good fortune eclipses all that.<\/p>\n<p>I must confess that I have been working hard (really!) and relaxing hard too. Stella&#8217;s corporate pad boasts a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/42088597@N00\/820387272\/\" target=\"_blank\">pool<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/42088597@N00\/819512773\/\" target=\"_blank\">hot tub<\/a> in the courtyard which are great &#8220;carrots&#8221; for getting some work done. Stella is settling in nicely and has indulged me by vacating her kitchen so that I can cook to my heart&#8217;s content. She hasn&#8217;t even been in the kitchen since I got here so I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;ll be welcomed back.<\/p>\n<p>I also finally crossed paths with a blogosphere friend and colleague! Adrienne who also blogs for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gadling.com\/bloggers\/adrienne-wilson\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gadling<\/a> and her own <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adrienne-is.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\">personal site<\/a>, is just as charming, charismatic and down to earth in person as she is in cyberspace. A talented writer and journalist indded. We met up for some sushi and drinks and talked late into the evening about all things travel.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m off to Santa Barbara\/Ventura for a few days. Let me know if there&#8217;s anything I should see\/do. This is definitely one of the best summers ever. I hope yours is too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dia &#038; Adrienne Bloggers Meet up, originally uploaded by funchilde. Lala land is certainly interesting.
