Wrapping Up And Winding Down
Yes, that was a long hiatus. But I was so down when I got back to LA after the diverticular incident that I didn't much feel like writing.
My head is out from under the covers now. I have about a week and a half left here, and I'm starting to sell off my stuff. There may be an audition or two between now and my departure the weekend of April 1, but I'm no longer optimistic. C'est la vie. I'll post-mortem the whole pilot season on another day.
Today, I am taking further steps to sell my car. In California, a car has to "smog" (pass emissions inspection) when it's sold, and the responsibility lies with the seller to do so. The little beater I bought smogged right before I bought it five months ago. Now it won't.
In an effort to clean out its engine and get its numbers down, I took it in for a complete lube job on Tuesday: I replaced gas filters, cleaned out fuel injectors, etc. I was told by the guys at the shop that I should fill it with a tank of gas, drive that down as low as possible, and then fill it with another fresh tank before I try to re-smog it.
So I have spent the last couple of days driving somewhat needlessly—over 180 miles so far—in an effort to prove to the state of California that my car doesn't pollute. Classic.

As luck would have it, we are scheduled to visit LA at the end of next week. Good luck with the move - let's catch up when we're all on the right coast!
