Windows LIve Messenger

I'm writing this as i wait for windows live messenger to download. Its at 33%. I have had a few issues with the latest versions of messenger. At first i installed it and my contacts wouldn't show up at all even thought they were still there, so i removed it and reinstalled the older 2008 version. Just yesterday i thought i would upgrade to 2009 and it was looking good until it came to trying some of the features out. It would crash my computer making me restart at least 10 times in an hour. It is now at 82%, come on, download a little faster. At the end of writing this sentence it is at 93%.
Ok so the plan is to go back to version 2008 until i feel calm down enough to upgrade.

Los Angeles Zoo

Been a very long time for me to go to a Zoo, so long in fact i don't remember it. I was roughly 5 or 6 at the time. So to get a chance to go to a zoo would be a chance i would take. Looking at the LA Zoo Website
there are lots of animals to look at. In particular the tigers, elephants, Lions, bears, zebra, giraffe, rhinoceros and Hippopotamus are the animals i want to catch a glimpse at.

Adult ticket prices are $12, parking is free and the zoo is open from 10am to 5pm and i am not allowed to feed the animals otherwise i can be evicted from the zoo.

Griffith Park

Items of interest in Griffith Park are
  • Los Angeles Zoo
  • Museum of American West
  • Griffith Park Observatory
  • Greek Theater
  • The Hollywood sign
  • the bronze bust of James Dean
  • the Bird Sanctuary

Hollywood

So we have all heard of Hollywood and all know the famous Hollywood sign. Yeah i definitely want to see it. Other items of interest are Mann's Chinese Theater, even just to say i've seen it, same with Fredrick's Egytptian Theater. Then there are the Boulevards, Hollywood and Sunset. A walk down Hollywood boulevard would be nice spotting some of the famous "Movie Star "stars"".
