I've been out here two and a half months now, how 'bout that? It's been pretty rocking. Chris and I have been working pretty hard on a couple projects and they're both out of our hands right now but even if neither actually gets made it's been great experience developing ideas and pitching them. One of the pitches is for a kids show which is about as far from what I thought I'd be doing as possible but it's been a hell of a lot of fun to work on, except for the research part, kids watch a lot of crap.
I'll have a driver's license as soon as I can get a car for the road test (Chris' insurance specifically excludes me from driving his car and the DMV doesn't like that) and I'll actually own an automobile soon after that, imagine that. Totally necessary out here though, the subway is pretty rad if I just want to go where the subway goes but the LA subway is about the equivalent of only having the A train.
The shift in cuisine out here has been pretty shocking. No one out here can make a decent bagel and I've found one place with palatable pizza. I don't understand this, neither are terribly hard to make and the ethnic groups are certainly here. That said the Thai food out here is good to the point where I feel I was lied to about what Thai food is. Mexican food is also exceptional out here as you might have guessed. The entire sushi experience is different out here and I think I prefer it.
That's how I'm doing I guess, creatively fulfilled and culinarily engaged.
