Is it too much to ask?

In my days before returning to the left coast I blogged almost everyday about the usually unusual happenings in the Subway and streets of NYC. Since I arrived here in Los Angeles- I have not come across anything as unusual as a seemingly normal person watching porn (without the use of headphones) on his mini dvd player on an uptown 9, or the small Asian ladies who would bark and shove me to make sure they and their push carts got on to the 7 train, all the while running over me and my new high heels to make sure they got out. I have not seen a bum pee into a water bottle on public transport and I haven't been cursed at for hailing a taxi and getting in it before an upper eastsider claims I am stealing his ride-while he stood at a distance under a canopy during a summer rainstorm and yelled at his wife on his cell phone. Sadly, I miss the characters- and endless ability to people watch. Is that so wrong? Besides Venice beach and the occasional hooker on Hollywood Blvd. I just don't come across these people anymore. Where have they gone? I'm positive they exist here in the Land of the fur coat in summer time-but do I just not pay attention anymore-am I waisting my time driving? I could use the "GULP" public transportation system here in la la land..but would it be worth it?
The two or three people I see a week picking their nose while on the 134, just isn't cutting it. Is Los Angeles just too spread out to get access to the nut jobs, assholes, pricks, bitches, sluts, old bitty's and dirty old men-all in one place? Nothing quite compares to the ny subway-everybody takes the subway. The bum's to Mr. Wall Street. It's the ultimate inspiration for people watchers, and noticers such as myself. Someone please inspire me...
