Stray Observations About Moving to Los Angeles

Somewhere between Sacramento and Los Angeles: A Palm tree.

The six hour drive from Sacramento to Los Angeles is not that difficult, and halfway through, I saw a sign for fresh avocodos and honey, and I realized that I'm an adult and I can stop if I want to! So I did. mmmm. Also, homemade fudge and wasabi peanuts.

Me at the family farm after eating wasabi peanuts.

My place is right across the street from Universal Studios. The balcony smells like a mix of theme park churros and the sweat from the model across the way doing Wii aerobics with her baby.

My bed is a Murphy Bed - so it folds up into the wall. The bottom of the bed is a mirror. So when it's up, a mirror stretches from the floor to the ceiling, while a stray bit of comforter hangs out around it.

Me reflected in the bottom of my bed. Also, the empty fudge wrapper.

My place is beautiful. These internships pick swank temporary housing for their minions.

Drove around for about an hour getting a feel for my new neighborhood listening to this on repeat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TZb8s1tKGE

Karen, you would like it here. There are models everywhere. Also, it's tropical. Like, it feels like vacation. And a fur tree is right outside my window! I leaned the snowboard up against it so my view reminds me of home.

Who the hell is Karen?

This: http://shoutingatsara.blogspot.com/ is the most exciting thing that has happened to me. Certainly top 10.

Because Karen (the author of that there blog up above) is my soul mate. Or more precisely, I think we shared a brain in a past life. Like siamese twins literally attached by the brain. So we had to walk around with our heads all squished together and we wore special dresses and brushed each other's teeth.

In this life, unfortunately, our brains are some degree of un-fused. So, we have to use our darned mouths and talk. Incessantly.

I don't know if I can paint this picture any clearer: the stream of thought bubbles that is Karen's mind is the most fascinating and enriching thing I've ever witnessed or gotten to partake in. And our conversations are always so unfiltered and genuine and thoughtful.

Karen did a much better job of explaining what her blog is all about, and I will echo those sentiments entirely.

And since, in this life, our brains are not only un-fused, but often several time-zones out of whack, I hope that we can keep having our glorious conversations in this intriguing format.

So, finally, I hope you, weary internet traveler, find these conversations as interesting and enriching as I do :)

(Finally finally, I urge once again: check out Karen's blog for the more well-written half of the musings! http://shoutingatsara.blogspot.com/)
