trip
So in frantically searching the abyss of this day's musings, the most profound thought I've had today was earlier, on my drive home from getting my allergy shot. In considering the difficulty of navigating my way to the Jimmy John's sandwich shop for lunch on the way to the Dr's office, I am once again convinced that the individuals who laid the groundwork for Spartanburg's transportation system were ALL drunk as skunks when they did so. They're all probably still turning over in their graves laughing at all us dumb saps who are still trying to find our way to Jimmy John's from the wrong direction on Pine Street, or worse yet, still going around in circles trying to figure out how to get off Heron Circle.

QUAKE WATCH #2!!!!
So let's get started. It was about November or December when my buddy Vincent gave me a ring and said "Let's just fucking go to LA." I was like sure why not. So after a month of house/job hunting and another week of goodbyes I was on the road. Drove 15 hours to Savannah to begin the journey westward. Savannah was, as it always is, amazing. Even for the three days I was there. That was when the Twilight obsession began. (Thank you Rachel and Mila.) So we packed up the house and dogs and hit the road.
First stop (somewhere outside of) Pensacola, FL. Weird. That's all I have to say. Next day we were headed to New Orleans. After about 14 hours of driving we were dead ass tired and skipped the New Orleans route, headed through Baton Rouge and ended up in Winnie, TX. Once again, weird. I must give a hot shout out to Mobile, AL for being an awesome little city in the DIRRRRTY South.
Next stop, BIRTHDAY in Austin, TX. Fucking sweeeeet! Great young hippie town. Met up with our good pal Karina and headed over to Trudy's for some Fried Avacado and Mexican Martini's. Hands down the BEST food I have ever tasted, so if you're in Austin hit that shizz up! Chilled out at her place for the night before the long drive across Texas the next day to New Mexico. Said "See you soon!" to Karina (she now lives here in LA) and headed out. After having breakfast at WhatABurger (more like WhattheFuckdidIjustEat) we were driving through San Antonio. Didn't get to spend much time there because we still had many a mile to go that day. Several hours later we were driving through Selena land or El Paso. Again, weird and a little scary. About an hour later we arrived in Las Cruces, NM. Yayyyyyyyyy! Fucking gorge! Oh I left out Ft. Stockton, TX.
10 a.m. and we're back on the road. New Mexico, stunning and bizarre. Let's talk about the man wheeling a 15ft. crucifix down the highway in the MIDDLE of the damn desert, and the wild pigs chillen in the cactus. I know. Arizona was beautiful and the sunset was unbelievable. So we decided to stick it out and go straight through to LA. Hours and mountains later we see the lights of Los Angeles. Home Sweet Home.
Now we finally get to our new home and its 4:30 a.m., raining and freezing. Um, I thought LA was supposed to be hot? We can't find the damn key but the back door was opened so we claim our rooms and go to sleep. Next day my girl Marsha takes me to do all of the touristy shit like Hollywood and all that jazz. Eh, glad I got it out of the way.
So let's fast forward a couple of months and jobs.....
I am now an angry Angelino working in none other than Hollywood. But it's all good because I have an awesome job and super cool roommates. I now begin my rant.
TEN THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE EAST COAST.
1. Pizza
2. Bagels
3. Mass Transit (Trains, Subways, Ferries, Cheap Taxi's, etc.)
4. New York
5. My Family/Friends
6. Rain (I know kind of strange)
7. People that have taken some sort of course on driving.
8. Diners
9. Getting my hair done for free.
10. NOT HAVING TO PUMP MY OWN GAS! (What's up JERZ?!)
I know that people from Los Angeles hate New Yorkers that "come to LA and bitch about how much cooler New York is" but I mean I never hear people from LA move to New York and whine about why it's not as great as LA.............
So San Diego rocks, I was only there for one day but hot damn did I love it and it is wayyyy stunning out here. I mean the scenery is so beautiful and I am sitll amazed everyday when I am driving up the hills into Hollywood. Runyon Canyon is my jam. So I am confident that it is not all of California that is out to get me. I also have to give a big shout out to my roommates for really making the best of it out here. That's the advantage of being a dorky theater kid and living with other dorky theater kids. You're never bored. There is always a Silent Western film, 80's remake Music Video, or photo shoot to do. And also we are all musicians, well basically everyone except for me, so it's nice to come home and hear someone sing their heart out at the piano or bust a rockin' tune on the guitar. (and the occasional bang on the cowbell, yes there is one in the house.) So I am beginning to see why fate has brought me to South Holt in Ladera.
Another thing that is pretty sweet is I am 5 minutes from the beach. Venice Beach. Which yes I know it is touristy and all but I love that it still has it's charm and some original members. If you are from New Jersey it is the Seaside Heights of Los Angeles. Guilty pleasure?
Here I am now, sitting in my FREE queen sized bed (that's a whole other post) tired after working 10 hours and speaking broken Armenian (again, a whole other post) with my head buzzing. I have somewhat exhausted my obsession with Slumdog Millionaire so I am moving onto City of God. Go filmmaker roommates for having great movies all the time! So that's it for now I figured I would try to bring you all up to speed and I am sure I left out important details but I will be sure to include in future posts. Goodnight and pump a fist back in Jersey for me.....not your gas.
Much love,
E
