- The thrill of driving the freeways after rush hour
- Zoning out on the 10 during rush hour
- Driving time—not driving distance
- Encountering people working on and discussing film industry projects at every coffee shop
- Trader Joe's must only hire aspiring actors or screenwriters
- Chihuahuas everywhere...a virus, if you ask me.
- Living three blocks from a medical marijuana dispensary
- The pink-velour-jumpsuit-wearing old lady who diligently feeds the stray cats in our back alley
- Being woken every weekend morning (and some weekday mornings) by the next door neighbors BLASTING salsa music. Always before 9 am.
- Cheap avocados
- Food trucks
- Navigating the terrifyingly steep hills of Silverlake/Echo Park by car
- The sweet realization that I finally have a basic grasp on downtown geography after successfully finding my way home despite off-ramp closures on my usual route
- 50 degrees in Wisconsin? Break out the shorts! 50 degrees in LA? Plug in the space heater. (I thought this would never happen to me.......took about a month).
- Discovering a new advertisement for car insurance on my windshield every morning
Apologies for all the iPhone photos. I'll work on it.
I've been in England for five months. It feels like there was only winter in December and recently many days were 50F and now that it is less but still above freezing it feels cold! Okay, it's not horribly cold but it's not warm. And I'm ready for warm. I feel like a wimp.
ReplyDeleteYou're makng me miss home. *sniff* It's 40 here and I'm in flip flops. When it's 40 back home people are breaking out the winter coats. Glad you're getting out and enjoying yourself a little.
