hipster
i am in los angeles. the week leading up to my departure from the uk went well - i managed to use the system against itself, and work from home one of those scorching days, and go to a meeting out of the office for which i took all day off, but the Vodafone meeting only lasted half a day.
the heat of london and the need for a holiday were so intense that i found myself on the verge of tears, make it stop tears, several times. i was really glad to get on the airconned plane even if it was steerage.
my stop over in nyc allowed me to segue into primal america with ease, and thanks to a stellar and inexpensive pedicure, with a little style too.
i thought i would be attracted to la more than i am. i have had a fun time. i have seen a play (with david hyde pierce), gone to shi shi bars, a trendy restaruant, a hipster - the slang word to use- divey cafe, tanned myself on rooftop pools....all relaxing and fun and luxurious. I do appreciate that i am getting to see some La spots anddots [myfriend's computer's space button...not working....annoying...] that other tourists do not, because my two friends are here. one is lawyer and writer living in beverly hills, the other a starving actress in echo park, an area of la that begs a red hot chili peppars song to be played to its landscape. cheap and chic, downtown, posh 90210 and the echoes, i have seen a panoply of people. i have seen some celebrities, but no one with massive name power, just smaller niche celebs, thusi won't name them because it would be analousto me reading heat and thinking whoare these people??
but i want to get back to europe. i miss its history, and density of culture, and less hurried life. my friends rush around and do everything. visiting america is fun, but it does not resonatewith me the way england does.
a family wedding this weekend, and then off to crete, for which i am really excited. whereasefor this trip i packed some stylin outfits, sunscreen, face and hair masques, some mags and a wine bottle opener will be the primary travellingcompanions.
and when i get back, i am going to have to do a 10 k in 3 weeks. urps.
