I am so hung over..darling I need to straighten my hair- where is that place?

I was on Washington last night- well it started the afternoon before but anyway- what a place- can't tell you why I was there but...On the way saw a lovely building- like a cake- it had a sign above" Willing Workers" and I thought we must take that building for an office- what the fuck we'd do with it is irrelevant- anyway was told no one would come there...just look around, he said...Anyway ....there's a stretch that is really scuzzy- round La Brea and every bus stop is a different spot for weird people. There was a police car parked by one stop and a drunk visciously stamping round swigging from a bottle. Then I saw a little hooker up and down outside a really cheap motel- who the fuck would dare go there? - got out of there, partied with new boy- he's delicious but very young- also worried because most of his friends seem to be in AA and he doesn't want to do anything in front of them. Told him that in my opinion a glass of wine would be fine and he looked at me as if I was mad...in private it's a different matter so I am worried about him. Gotta go- he's coming xxxx Jems

Weird about Washington – I was there – only yesterday and saw a couple of coppers kicking the shit out of some guy – no idea what he’d done but he seemed pretty harmless – just a little drunk – back in Britain no one would have batted an eyelash at a drunk. Your new guy probably thinks he’s in need of therapy after a bottle of Chardonnay…anyway went out with the friend – you know the guy whose room mate got bludgeoned to death – well ok – got the story slightly wrong – his room mate is still alive –apparantly she was attacked with a brick and my friend was never involved – he was in the other room tidying up and heard nothing – he still says we can stay at his by the way…anyway met with him and his new missis. Quite a surprise not a stripper at all – not even from Vegas – no idea why I got that wrong – they had a quickie wedding in Vegas – she’s bright, dresses a little off – knitted cardigans but still very nice personality – but get this – they are living in separate homes – now my auntie Ethel’s niece did that with her man and found out he was busy batting for the other side….so who knows…what are we doing for dinner tonight – am running out of cash …thinking that I need a little job – no idea what though…

PS that straightening place is in Korea town - no one speaks a word of ENglish - I nearly ended up with a perm - good job I had my Korean phrase book - my bag is weighted down with SPanish and Korean phrase books - who would've thought LA would be so ...foreign!
