Just landed in a foggy LA. But that’s so much better than the frigid nyc I just left.
It’s too cold to be outside tonight, so I only peer through the peephole.
Ripped from the headlines! Lights for the Law & Order SVU shoot happening next door are killing my patio’s zen.
i spend more time reorganizing my netflix queue than i do watching the movies.
a food deliverer just committed the unpardonable sin of bringing only two ketchup packets for my entire turkey burger and fry order.
Well, hello again, nyc.
Roadtrip mission successful. Now heading up into the cloudy Colorado skies. Looks like I’m gonna just miss a snowstorm.

How am I supposed to fall asleep with this thing staring at me?
Made it from LA to Colorado without any flat tires, speeding tickets, or tweet-driving incidents!
On a Utah highway, I’m practicing my left lane driving. Getting ready for UK driving in March.
Las Vegas, you’re pretty, but you shan’t be getting my loot. I only came to see @TexAxile.
Yeah, I already stopped for a nap, but I couldn’t drive through Barstow without stopping again at this place…
Already had to stop driving to nap. At this rate, will take 3 weeks to get to Colorado. But back on road now.
Joyriding from Los Angeles to Colorado starts now. Let’s see if I remember how to drive.
i’m loving Heartland, the new album from Owen Pallett. i’ve been spotifying it on an endless loop all day.
it’s nice to occasionally get a crazy cabbie who drives like it’s still the 1970’s. NYC drivers have gotten so tame…
should i try driving in London, the next time i’m there? i’ve never driven on the wrong side of the road before…
Mom to a kid at the park: “don’t take your jacket off, do you want to get pneumonia?” Kid, “yes”.
LAX payphone, cont.
You might have noticed a few days ago I was complaining about being charged $20 for a 30 second LOCAL call from an LAX payphone, because I had paid via credit card instead of using the exact change of 50 cents.
(The reason I even needed to use the payphone in the first place was because my cell phone battery had died. It’s important to note: later that afternoon I went and purchased a...
HELP NEEDED: Haiti hit with massive quake.
charitywater:
Haiti was hit yesterday by what could be considered the worst natural disaster for the region in the last 200 years. An earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.0, shocked the country just before 5 p.m. on Tuesday, collapsing buildings and cutting water and electricity services in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas. Aftershocks of 4.5 magnitude or higher continued through...
Ah, Brentwood rush hour traffic, it’s been too long.
Amazing 10 mile run in the Hollywood Hills. Those hills killed my calves, but at least my toes aren’t frozen like in nyc…
had to stop during my run to shoot this nano video of awesome clear LA sky and my finger.
My phone died at LAX, and I had to use a payphone. The local, one minute call was $8 on my credit card. According to the sign posted on the phone, it would have cost 50 cents if I had paid with exact change. But I didn’t have any quarters. Extortion.
UPDATE: just checked my bank statement and here’s what I was charged for less than one minute on an LAX payphone, making a LOCAL...
Arrived LAX 1.5 hrs early. Not sure what to do with all this extra time. Oh, I guess we’ll just sit on tarmac waiting for an open gate.
Because of my messed up nightlife work schedule, my idea of a redeye flight is a 7am departure.
tomorrow my flaws will all be exposed in the harsh LA sun, but tonight i hide under layers, lurking in the nyc shadows. seriously.
why are the New Yorker pieces always so long? it’s exhausting. i feel like i’ve been reading this for hours…
Why do iPod earbuds stay in other people’s ears but always fall out of mine? Are my earholes too big?
Spent an hour inside a nightclub last night. It’s been a long time, and I forgot how much your clothes smell like smoke after.
It’s bad news going to the doctor when you’re not sick. I’m sitting in lobby looking at all the ill people, wondering what I’ll catch.
