There are more vanity license plates in California than in all the other states combined.

The weather on the West Coast is inversely proportional to the weather on the East Coast: 90% awesome/10% crap.

My skin is incredibly intolerant to sun. I look like a lobster.

In and Out Burger still kicks the ass of Five Guys Burger and Fries.

New trend: high-end butcher shops, featuring specialty beef (Angus, grass-fed, etc.)

The Garmin Nuvi GPS is the single greatest invention of mankind in the past 1,000 years.

My new book is stirring up some controversy!

Yes, there certainly has been a huge reduction in tired, incoherent, ramblings from a pill-popping illiterate drama queen.

It's sad, really.

As of 2007, Virginia had the highest percentage of vanity plates. Maybe Californians have since tried to catch up because their vanity wouldn't allow anyone else being number one.

So John, did you happen to correct my name from the first book's acknowledgments in this new book?? Although I've had fun being Tracie McMay it's getting tiresome.

Congrats on the new book btw.

I should clarify that I'm not exactly saying it's a positive thing that Virginia has so many vanity plates.

One that I saw yesterday:

ATE2UDE

Um, why exactly couldnt the person use the T in this situation? Or maybe not use the U? Or do us all a favor and veer into the nearest retaining wall?

I have a NY vanity license plate that pays homage to my favorite band. I've had people read it as "Aluminum Brothers" and "Alimony Broad."

Sorry, leaving tomorrow.

Was supposed to be leaving today, but I got bumped from Northwest, which had oversold their flight by 30 (!) people.

On the bright side, I got $1200 cash, meals for the day, and a free hotel room at a swanky resort with a huge pool.

I've got to get bumped more often.

That's extremely coincidental and more than a little bit frightening, as I had a dream on Sunday about John getting bumped from a flight. First off, WTF is John doing in my dreams? GET OUT OF MY HEAD, HARGRAVE!

Having lived in California in my childhood and now, I have to disagree with you on two things.

1. Nuvi sucks. to go from New Hope to Philly it took me through Hatboro, on the 76, around Philly, back into philly, and out again and then to my destination.

2. In-N-Out may be kick-ass, but they A. don't offer steak sauce on their burgers and B. don't have amazing fries. Although they DO have milkshakes almost equal to chick-fil-a
