Hollywood, A Planet Unto Itself


I'm sure there must be a story behind the name, rather than them just wanting the cool spherical structure. Hollywood really is a world unto itself though, so it really is a funny name. Fitting, and funny.

It was really cool inside though. I was like a kid in a candy sto... wait, that's an overused analogy. I was like a nerd at the Star Trek exhibition (which we also did on this trip... we'll get there). Let me show you what I mean, and at the same time you'll get a glimpse into my own psyche through movie tastes.


It's a sword. I'm a guy. That still excuses me, right? I haven't even seen the movie, but it's a cool sword. I like swords. (Are your nerd meters beeping yet?)


Something from Ben Hur!!! Perhaps a frock of some kind. I don't really know.


The miniature boat from Princess Bride. Inconceivable! (It's like a can't even help but say that. I can be sick to death of saying it, but I still will.)


Babe Ruth's underwear... Kinda weird. You know, I never even wondered where Babe Ruth's underwear was. All this time they've been right there.

One more.

George of the Jungle's necklace. I hear this was the only movie where he's really good looking. That scene with the horses. Funny. I personally prefer the commentary, "Bad guy falls in poop..."

The restrooms... were interesting. I'd better just let you have a look yourselves.


Shark heads. So when you wash your hands it's like you're being eaten by sharks. Fun. And a Good rating. I honestly don't remember much else about the restrooms. I was so distracted by those mirrors.

So the locale was fun. Cool sights. I only posted a pittance of the coolness. Unfortunately, we were not impressed with the food at all. I opted for a chicken and avocado sandwich that should have been delicious, but ended up being really dry. Too bad. Funny Babe Ruth.

On Bathroom Aesthetics and Impartiality

Since we tend to pay attention in general to our surroundings, in restrooms the details are all assimilated and translated into very generalized responses.

In other words, sometimes for as clean as a restroom may be, the aesthetics are just wrong and leave you feeling icky. I'll try to be as impartial as possible, but let's face it, a lot comes down to how I generally feel while there.

This will undoubtedly, inevitably show in my ratings.

Restroom Goals

Restrooms that I would like to rate, but will take some time to get there.

1. Angel's Landing - Scout Lookout (It is a strenuous, 2.5 mile hike to the top. Well worth it, probably nasty, but I'm not there yet in any case. :)

2. The Louvre - obviously great, it would have to be.
