Thank you again and I'm glad you're in LA where anything is possible.

I know this is supposed to be encouraging, but it also felt vaguely menacing. Also I know some things are not possible in LA. Like pizza, for example.

The Breading

Me: The homesickness just hit pretty hard today, so I'm a little out of it.

Friend: Fucking homesickness

Me: What did it today was grocery shopping. Part of me was still deluded about this being like a weird vacation, and buying a loaf of bread was too real.

Friend: Do you not eat bread on vacation?

Me: Well not buying bread with the notion that I'll eat it over the next few weeks. Also bread is famously what you eat when a vacation is over. That's why they serve it on airplanes leaving Orlando.

Friend: I... can't tell if you are joking. And I have flown out of Orlando countless times. Have I missed the breading ceremony?

Palm Trees

I could get used to living somewhere with palm trees.

Los Angeles runs on something...

There aren’t nearly enough Dunkin Donuts in LA, and there are none in Burbank.

At less than a week until my big move, I can’t help but think about the things I won’t have a week from now. I’ve lived my entire life in the Northeast, and New York has always been “the City”. I’m excited about my new city and the new experiences I’ll have there, but I want to document the things I’ll miss. 

This photo was taken near my home in Jersey City. I can’t remember why I was there, but the NY skyline looked amazing in the late winter sunset.

And then there’s my new city, in the view from one of my favorite places, the Griffith Observatory. It’s good to look forward to something.
