Does anybody have more info on the enormous fire in the Hollywood Hills today?? I'm sitting around this afternoon and I start smelling smoke... next thing I know, my apartment is hazy, my asthma and allergies start acting up, the cat is freaking out, and my eyes are watering. I go to meet K and a friend for lunch, and the whole sky is black and orange. We watched the news coverage while we ate, and evidently there was some worry for awhile that the Hollywood sign would burn!
Fortunately they were able to get the fire down and by the time we headed home from lunch, the smoke in the sky was white instead of black and they were saying they had it under control. It was JUST on the other side of the hill from my apartment. K and I were calling his parents in Redondo to see about staying down there tonight, it was that close!
But I'm wondering how it started this time of year. There are always fires around the Valley at the end of the summer, but in March? Just after the rain? What's going on?
And on top of all that, the pad thai didn't agree with me and I've had tons of intestinal drama all afternoon... well, at least my home isn't on fire, and my new corset arrived from Guenevere, and my movie is officially finished except for the music. Now I just have to get off my ass and clean this damn house. I've been meaning to do it all day but when there was the risk of fire, well, I just couldn't bring myself to clean!
