It depends on where you're staying and how much time you have. LA is big and you'll probably spend a good amount of time in a car. If you can, get a nice rental car that's not too big. Parking is often a challenge and some streets are narrow. If renting at LAX, the wait times can be long.

Go to the beach if you can. I like Redondo Beach better than Santa Monica or Venice. Pretty and less crowded. There are wide, paved walkways and places to sit and watch the ocean.

The Getty Villa is pretty and accessible, from what I remember. The museum too.

Hollywood isn't that interesting unless you're going to an event. If you want to see it, I'd recommend driving down Hollywood Blvd. between La Brea and Vine. Or check out Cahuenga Blvd. The Hollywood Bowl is great and has accessible options, but you should book well in advance and be prepared for a long drive or shuttle ride.

If you want glitz and glamor, go to Beverly Hills and drive down Rodeo.

Drive down Mulholland for a great view of the city, or go to the Griffith Observatory. Griffith Park is also nice and has picnic areas if you don't want to walk.

Downtown LA isn't really a tourist area to me, but there are good restaurants. Some of the hotels have rooftop lounges with great views. Or go to Little Tokyo and get sushi, ramen, or mochi.

It usually sounds like me. I can hear it in someone else's voice if I'm thinking about something they said or might say. I can use other voices too, or make one up, but that takes more effort.

There's also one that feels like a ghost of my real voice. That's the fastest one to think in. It's very neutral and colorless (for anyone else who thinks of voices in terms of colors).

I've been able to hear that too, for as long as I can remember. I don't think that's necessarily anything unusual when you're the type of person who can hear earthworms cough. It sounds different at different times, like if I'm stressed or dehydrated.

There's really a lot you can hear if it's quiet and you pay attention. Eyes opening and closing, eyeballs moving, joints moving (neck and spine sounds different than knees and elbows), muscles contracting (different ones sound different).

This is the aria. It's from an opera called Cosi Fan Tutte.

Three months isn't a lot of time, so I would talk to a lawyer sooner rather than later. Google employment lawyers in your area, or "attorney referral service [your state]." You should be able to get a free consultation.

Some lawyers may be able to tell you right away if they'll take your case, but it may take a little time. And you may want to get more than one opinion. If you have any documents, round those up and hang onto them.
