it's only 94 degrees here!
Here begins the journey; the first step, essentially. I'm in LA looking for apartments and potential places to live. It's tough since I don't intend to move down here for a few more months, but this gives me a better understanding of the geography. I have a job opportunity in Santa Monica, however, housing in this area is mind-numbing. No amount of "living wage increase" can coerce me into signing a lease on a studio apartment for $1200 a month. There's talk of a possible Disneyland trip, if we get all of our searching out of the way. Wish me well, for LA drivers are suicidal.
