This is the lull between moves, the precious few weeks that can be languidly wasted, relatively guilt-free, before I meticulously plan my move to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. In the back of my mind, I know there are lists to be made and items to be checked off: vaccinations, anti-malaria pills, evacuation insurance, a home, new bank accounts, additional blank pages on my passport, etc.
And, of course, there is the dreaded packing list.
But this week, I am going to enjoy catching up with old friends: Cherlou at the Temper Trap concert (a late birthday present); afternoon tea in Pasadena with Noosha; baby shower madness with Desiree, Joee, and Carmel; drinks with Adrian; maybe even the Rosebowl Flea Market.
I'm settling into my Los Angeles life as best as I can, still complaining, however, about the unexplicable absence of "proper" independently-owned coffee shops. How do people live?
Another observation: The sun shines here, for what appears to be all day. Brightly. It is all very odd.
