I don't travel anywhere without the PS3 and XBox. There's nothing better to do on long bus trips while on tour.
When I was 10 years old my mom used to play Tupac while she cleaned the house.
There's no need to travel further. The Los Angeles area is big enough for us.
If you think of a work of fiction as a kind of scale model of the world then the positive valences - where things turn out better than you thought they would - ought to be in there somewhere too.
