So then you walk into the store and see lights, cameras, people yelling, "Action!" (seriously. I really heard them!) and you kind of get frustrated because all you need are some freaking bananas and apples.
So you ask what's going on, and all the folk say, "oh, we're shooting an Albertson's commercial." Like it's normal. What?!
And then you remember that you live in LA and that kind of stuff is normal.
Only when you live in LA do you get to see inside the very much gated, very much patrolled FOX Studios and take pics of all their props and fake city streets they use for filming.
Only when you live in LA do you get to drive to the famous Randy's Donuts
for a delicious Long John. Yum.
Only when you live in LA do you get to go to the ghetto Fashion District downtown and get fabric for $1/yd, dicker with the Persians and Mexicans, kind of feel like you might die since you're the only white person around, and park on rooftops in the skinniest parking spots ever.
And last but not least, only when you live in LA do you see this:
This poor Mom that has to shove her stroller in the front seat of her Jetta, mostly likely because they are a) a one car family and b) have an itty bitty parking space and can't buy a bigger car. Bless her soul; my life here isn't that bad.
And it's entertaining to boot! Goodness me I love this city!

Dude, if they are gonna invade your Albertson's at least it could be something cool like a movie with a famous person in it! That donut looked delicious-I need to get me one of those!
That donut looks deadly! Good thing they don't have one of those shops here!
Tiff, you are full of fun sotries. I still crack up thinking about you in costco with the ncis guy!
I actually can relate to that mom with the stroller in the front seat. Just got a double stroller and it's a tight squeeze getting it in our trunk even after taking the front wheels off. It's easier getting it in and out of the front seat. What fun adventures you are having!
