Visiting LA was amazing and confusing. I never imagined that I would miss LA, but I do. I think? This week I visited Los Angeles. It was my first extended trip since I walked away from the city of wandering angels. I met up with old friends and revisited familiar locations that I abruptly left almost [...]

Sometimes I Miss Being a Sad, Drunken Twenty-Something
Sometimes I think my writing would be much more interesting if I were still a wandering soul. I used to decry that as a confused early twenty-something my stresses prevented me from thinking creatively. Between the ages of 20 and 25 that I lived in Los Angeles, I did little to release my artistic passions. [...]

A Story About Drinking
I rarely drink anymore. Because of that, this post is spawned from the fact that I spent most of yesterday morning barfing up the Janis Joplin- hemp seed veggie patty, Tillamook cheese and avocado- at Austin’s beloved burger spot, Hopdoddy. I had three drinks of tequila and my body was all like, “WTF is this [...]

Songs About Los Angeles
Last night I saw the movie Drive starring Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Albert Brooks, Ron Perlman and Los Angeles. A lot of buzz has been going around about this simple, yet visually and auditorily delicious film. The Michael Mann-esque qualities, Ryan Gosling’s subtle performance, the 80′s font, and moody electronic music make for [...]

When the Car Speeds Out of Control
11:34PM 10/10/11 I think? I spoke with my father earlier this evening. Dad is a part-time actor and part-time chauffeur in Los Angeles (aren’t they all?). He works for a well-known car service and because of his super flyness and charm, he often drives some of their largest clients. Most of his clients are kind [...]
