and i'm here. odd. the drive was so nice from angelfire, or maybe i was just ready to leave b/c i got my ass kicked. *thanks bret and everyone. i know you liked seeing me fall every three feet in the snow* yeah so skiing was fun and completely foreign to me but i had great teachers.
we stayed overnight in flagstaff, AZ, which was pretty much just like a tinier austin with choo-choo trains everywhere. it's a city of motels, and we had some soup and wine and leftover sandwiches for dinner. so visit flagstaff if you ever plan on hitch-hiking, which you should. it's funny how in austin, people wear north face and columbia gear--frat-tastic!!--but then in reality, people wear jackets because they're actually in sub-freezing weather.
the drive from flagstaff to LA was a great big morph from one topography to another: mountainlakedesertmountain. but really humbling to feel so small.
settling in was really no big deal whatsoever--we drove past sunset blvd, melrose, through and over hollywood, but i flipped my sh** when i saw the columbia records building. misinterpreted significance of popular iconography, but whatever. the apt is smaller than what i'm so used to, but that was to be expected. the roomate situation is great, and hopefully we can fumble around this town together. my first drive, in fact, is today taking bret to LAX. absolutely scary but will be so helpful in the long run. so now i'm just sitting here with coffee (NOT my own so i'm a little disappointed) and kicking back after my encounter with what can only be awarded the title of "pedestrian aerobics hallway" rather than "fitness center." i mean i guess you could get fit there, due to the kinesiological struggles with the rusty decades-old elliptical machine--and by machine i mean singular! you KNOW how i needs my elliptical fix. but WHAT am i COMPLAINING about??? i'm here.
pictures to come. i miss you.
