view of my new Hollywood courtyard
General first thoughts on L.A., now that I've been here all of 24 hours:
- I have shin splints in my right leg from just ONE day of start/stop traffic in my friend's borrowed Mazda Miata.
- people are very nice here when they're NOT in their cars
- cool @ night, but scorching on the road during the day
- BIG grocery stores with huge aisles
- palm trees look really odd, but are relaxing
- the moon shines brighter in Santa Monica than on the Upper West Side
So, it took me less than a day in town to score a place to live and a mattress. Time to get a car of my own...
