Slacking Again

Hey, I haven't even been LJing regularly f0r about a year either. It's really depressing.

So, in a fit of "screw it, let's live" I started to plan vacations a few weeks ago. One of the places I'm going is LA, right after Christmas. Which, while convenient for my current line of work, is an odd time to be traveling anywhere.

It was with a start that I realized where I got the idea from. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang takes place primarily during the Christmas season in LA.

Apparently there is a whole spate of movie-inspired traveling, however. Not only can you take the Hogwarts tour of Britain; you can take the Sideways California wine country tour if you so desire. Though arguably the Harry Potter example is as much based on the books as it is the movie.

However, I swear I'm not going to design a Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang tour to follow. I'm just going there for the beaches, a look at the movie palaces that survive, and Disneyland. I don't like their movies but am crazy about their themeparks. But I wonder how much of this choice of destinations came from my Netflixed rewatching of one of the slashiest* movies of all time.
