Goodbye, my Brother

I said goodbye to my brother Jon today.  A year ago he moved out here to Los Angeles to live with me.  Straight out of High School, he’d never lived away from the parents before.  Since I’d been on my own for some years I felt the heaviness of easing him into the “real world.”  [...]

Merry Christmas!

It was SO cold in Los Angeles last night that I woke up several times during the night even though I had three covers on!  Anyway, my day took a turn for the best when my brothers and I sat down to a delicious and madcap family/roommate Christmas eve dinner.  Even though I’m more spiritual [...]

Fake EyeLAshes

I may have become a big prissy sissy since moving to Los Angeles.  Yesterday, ridiculously, I thought it would be a good idea to wear fake eyelashes to go hiking up Griffith Park.  “Sorry I’m late, Kelsa.”  I said.  “It just took me awhile to put on my fake lashes.”  I said as I batted [...]

Cold Case (part 1)

Last Wednesday ‘Cold Case’ was filming outside our Koreatown apartment.  A notice had been posted above our mailboxes reading “Dear Neighbors, Warner Bros. Television Productions Inc. is filming its seventh season of the hit drama ‘Cold Case.”  Blah blah.
 
It didn’t bother me none.  My housemates who I’ll call Frederick and Jon weren’t too thrilled.  “Why!?”  [...]

Freezing Cold Case (part 2)

After the trip to Vons we arrived back at our Los Angeles, Koreatown home and into our freezing cold apartment which happily now had electricity.  “Let’s turn on the heater and put on a pizza and some hot tea!”  That sounded like a splendid and brilliant plan so we did just that.  Then BAM!  Darkness [...]

Boys and Girls Club of Burbank

Like a social anthropologist (or perhaps just a nosey person), when I learned of my Los Angeles UCF Alumni Club’s volunteer event with the Boys and Girls Club of Burbank I was eager to find out what goes on behind the scenes with those innocent little child-like faced people.  I’m talking about the kids from [...]

Bank Fees in Los Angeles and Everywhere

So a friend of mine in Los Angeles who shall remain anonymous, let’s call him Jaramush which is a nice name, perhaps even an improvement on his own name, well, he tells me the following tale of woe.
Jaramush has been unemployed and struggling to find work in this beautiful economy linking us all together rag-tag [...]

Cooped Up Kids in Los Angeles

In my apartment in Koreatown, the kids who live above us make a ton of racket leaping from their beds onto our ceiling like Kangaroos.  That’s what it sounds like, anyway.  Actually it sounds more like hippos or elephants.  There’s running, jumping, leaping, skipping.  The noise bothers the crap out of my other housemates.  Not [...]
