Friday, first Friday of March. Angelina temperature touches 25 degrees (plus or minus same level as that is my home, thanks to the eagerness of my friend's floor for heating) and after a week of rain and snow (yes, snow), the sun shines in all its splendor. That means I'm going with socks but dress straps down the street (we will not get excited, that at night the weather is treacherous.) The radio has been consecutively Sunday Bloody Sunday U2 and Incubus Pardon Me, the car has been in the rental store and I expected a 20 minute walk to my own home, once you exit the Aroma Coffee where, for the first time, there is no free table. going to be spring.
I miss New York more than I can explain. A spring that happens to a terrible winter with the Manzanota received much more joy in Southern California where, three weeks has, in my graduation, sweated all chickens calorísimo as he did. In New York the walk from The Bean to any other site would be full of urban peasantry kill to see. I can imagine the Second Avenue full of terraces, cinemas in the East Village putting the last independent movie here I have to see in a theater a half hour drive from my house, NYU students walking down the street, the cars that watching from afar and pitied, because they had to face the traffic and I do not.
I miss New York like any other would miss the love of his life. At the moment, despite the amount of music I listen in the car, nothing has managed to produce the same excitement to walk the Manzanota, attentive to anything that happens in any corner. I miss his delis, cafes and charming to the length and breadth of Williamsburg. I miss the Irish Pubs in the East Village and stroll down Fifth Avenue from Central Park to Washington Square, recalling that is where Sally left Harry without knowing how their fates become joined.
And yet, yesterday I picked up the job card of a year that Obama friendly Government has approved me and I decided to stay in Elei. It is not by its cloudless sky, or its film industry, more present than anywhere else (although it has its advantages, last Saturday we went to see Airplane and Naked Gun double session, with talk with the directors in the interim included, and this Sunday I'll see Happythankyoumoreplease , and after the movie is its writer / director / actor, Josh Radnor, Ted of How I Met Your Mother ). No. Perhaps it has something more to do with the aroma, my school of yoga and Tony's, the pub on Fridays. With that and the fact that these sites are sites that share with my friends.
I came to Los Angeles wanting to love more than anything because there is no good looking to live in a place you hate. However, one day I was driving crossed his mind that, damn, I did not like. And I did not like, no. Traffic, having to take the car for all, not see people unless they keep it, not being able to walk and get in the first place that springs to mind ... Los Angeles is not only very different from other cities is very different cities that I like, including Madrid, Dublin, Paris or Niuyor. The car seemed unnecessary invention that I loved and hated in equal parts (Incidentally, despite being a fan of car rallies, especially on highways, life is much easier in traffic jams if you have an automatic, warning for boaters) and I always had that feeling of being behind the steering wheel independent transformed alone. Everyone, all day, driving back and forth, going to ... where?
Clearly, without a routine, not people who stick with you in this routine, life is a mess in this city. All that gave me the New York life was a hundred times better than I was this city full of nothing. But I started going to yoga with Sarah. And to make coffee, and write together. I started staying with her and her friends to go to writers' talks. For a drink on Friday after intensive yoga class with Nicole. Suddenly in my birthday came together 15 good people and I thought, "" I can change my friends for the city I love ? "Well, I could not. Because the city I love is beautiful, it is huge, but certainly not without company enjoys. And Elei, I began to get in the right eye, until autumn had a phase I'm sure that happened only to convince me to cross the canyons of Hollywood could be, indeed, a pleasure.
suddenly take the car costs less if you're going to see people I know that I laugh a lot. And graduate studies in of Warner makes one wonder if it is true, where is all this happening, if I walk down the same sites for which, many years ago, the great film they did.
Launch hat in the air at graduation was very dizzy. That study and go to class was a myth. Now we have to work. And keep writing. And earn a salary (and told my father, I just want you to be happy and not cost me, and me and it cost them). It is clear that the American work schedule is not English (which the invention is that of eating at the computer, by God!) And it is clear that to take a beer after a hard day, it does not happen. But still Aroma to having a retreat to write, a Tony's to go with friends on Friday night, and a yoga school that receives us with open arms every morning at 6.30.
Yes, I want to return to Spain. But lately when I ask whether that happens, Elei soul oppress me as now he does Niuyor.
