about: LA, SF

Random chatter in no particular order:

• Plants in LA look familiar. bougainvillas, rose bushes, jade plants, coconut trees. like the philippines but not dusty. cdn plantlife is just bewildering. the fact that people replant their gardens in the spring/summer is still a concept i have to get used to.

• i know it's cliched, but everyone in LA really wants to be in the movies, be it as an actor, a screenwriter, an extra. the movie industry is just too sexy to not be in.

• In-N-Out rocks!!! all other fastfood pale in comparison. all other fastfood is scary, Jack in the Box in particular. So is IHOP, so is Chili's. the coffee is way too expensive and tastes like crap. Timmie's FTW!

• LA is beautiful in a merkin, obvious, flashy kind of way. like some hot blonde in a too-tight blouse. but very pretty nonetheless.

• SF is charming and interesting, like a brunette debutante with a really great personality. She puts out, but you wouldn't know at first glance. Then you venture out to the Castro and you learn she's into the kinky!

• Napa is for old drunk people. is that facetious? solly.
  

• Mexican grocery stores are all about pork. mmmmm baboy. pork ribs, chicharon, lenggua, fatty stews, fried pork chops. nom nom nom

• i want a dog!!!! i promise to not let it get fat or dead.

• most tourists have this vacuous look in their eyes. like they're going through the motions of seeing all the sights. i bet i looked like that too heheh.

• i crack up and go bonkers in hopeless situations. was laughing my head off on every tiny little thing because of the absurdity of the flight situation. i guess the 13-hour road trip yesterday prepared me for the worst.

• would i live in LA?  maybe, if it was near the beach and work was two seconds away. a 250 sq/ft box will do. minimalist living has always been one of my strengths. :) SF? i'd move there in a heartbeat. like TO but with funner streets.

• i want to learn how to ride a bike :) inspired by driving in LA traffic

• i am more convinced, more than ever, of my decision. stay tuned.
