Human Factors
Number two on a visual approach behind an [airliner]. Cleared to land runway 25L. Coming in on a visual; even in daylight conditions; I always load an approach as a backup. I saw the traffic ahead over the numbers and began to angle the base to stay closer to the shore. I watched the traffic land and turn off [the runway]; and somewhere in that time I became over focused on the glide slope to maintain a dot high and remain above the wake. As I continued to look inside configuring for landing the controller advised I was lined up for 25R; now on about one and a half to two mile final. I acknowledged his correct perception and switched over to the left side. I've flown airplanes for [over] 20 years and never landed on the wrong runway. This made me realize it can happen to anyone.Having the course dialed in certainly helps but only if you actually look at the instruments. The G600 display has the glide slope off to the right; and as I discovered you can see the glide slope without ever actually looking at the localizer. Thinking about wake turbulence; with the complacency of a day time visual approach to an airport I've worked out of for [many] years; checking the inbound course fell on the priority list; unintentionally.Fatigue. While not overly tired; I was flying during the circadian rhythm time of two thirty to three thirty in the afternoon. Normally I'm drinking coffee during that time; but two days out of the month I'm flying instead. [This was] the end of the work week. Without meaning to I'm taking a little of a back seat to finishing up the job.There was no other traffic in the area. I'd like to think I would have caught my error; given the familiarity with the field and the backups in place. Regardless; I'm thankful the controller felt confident in speaking up. It's possible they fall into a mindset of seeing us all of the time and thinking 'they know what they're doing'; most of time.
