I moved… yada yada and hooray! Below is a video I shot a few days ago. I’m still organizing the new place.
On an alternate, highly personal note and to address a little Facebook uproar I carelessly whipped up with friends on pins and needles that I “quit acting,” my own fault for using those very [...]

Getting a head start on moving was made easier with with Trader Joe’s being so amazing in giving loads of boxes. In Los Angeles, I called the Trader Joe’s on La Brea and they put boxes aside for me.

I live in the ghetto right now. Not the word ghetto as it was originally used in Venice to describe the area where Jews were compelled to live. That was ghetto for real. But I do live in the ghetto as is now described as an overcrowded urban area often associated with a specific [...]

I colored my hair bright red and now I look like Ariel. Not on purpose. I was walking through the cute Los Angeles Koreatown Korean shops on Vermont and Wilshire near the Coffee Bean where I get a lot of writing done and I saw Davinci haircolor which is some brand I didn’t know [...]

Shocking to me when I first moved out here to Los Angeles, was the prevalence of apartments without washers and dryers.

I was at the Coffee Bean on Wilshire and Vermont in Los Angeles yesterday trying to write my book when I inadvertently and advertently overheard two senior citizens on their first date. They’d met on Match.com. Hilarity ensued. Here’s my video about yesterday that Stan shot on my iPhone.

This didn’t happen in Los Angeles, but I feel the need to write about it here. Stan and I have been together for four months and on Saturday night I took a 2 hour Amtrak train ride from Los Angeles to Solana Beach to meet him. He had a pink rose waiting for me along [...]

Stan is the most amazing boyfriend ever. I’m not just saying that cause he’ll read this and then I’ll get some action later. Anyway, he got us tickets to see David Sedaris, who currently happens to be my favorite book author. This was last night and we drove for about an hour down to the [...]

Today I shot some hoops at the Los Angeles Pan Pacific Park’s basketball courts. I was the only girl shooting hoops, trying to beat Stan at Around the World. He whooped me, but whatever. I shot this video last weekend with my friend Brandon’s kids.
