Day One: Los Angeles

The first thing I heard when I was boarding the flight to L.A. was an American girl talking to a friend on the phone. "I'm not really sure I understand what's going on yet", she said. "It's like I'm not really on my way". That's just how I felt, and it's like I'm still not sure I'm really here. As I am writing these words I am sitting in the living room of my friend Jesse's house, still wondering if this is really happening. I'm sure it'll hit me soon enough, and that it's just because I'm exhausted from sleep deprivation and bad air ventilation that I can't really get it.

With that in mind, I still don't know what the city has to offer. A million things, I'm sure, but I was so excited about an actual school bus to notice. The school buses are real. They really do exist as other than Hollywood props. And California license plates do actually put the name of the state in cursive letters like they came right out of an Elmore Leonard novel or something. To me, that's crazy. And I might end up taking one silly picture after another just to prove my point.

And did I mention the weather? At four this morning I feared I couldn't get to the airport because of all the snow and here some lady complained because it was 17 degrees! It's warm enough to wear my spring coat - which is lucky, because that bad boy is all I brought. And by the way, immigration isn't so bad. Just so you know.

But I might want to unpack instead of scribbling senseless nonsense which is primarily dominated by my current state of not knowing what's going on and a headache from the aircraft oxygen.

And guys: I'm in an apartment in L.A. How cool is that*?
