Confessions of a New Yorker in LA
Thursday, January 17, 2008
I have to admit that I'm happy to be in sunny and 70 in January rather than cloudy with the possibility of rain and 35.
I have to admit that I'm enjoying having a car to get me around and get me out that doesn't cost me $85/day to rent.
I have to admit that while there are days that are lonely in Los Angeles, I know there are days that are lonely in New York as well.
I have to admit that I like being able to take hikes in the outdoors rather than get on a treadmill in the gym.
I have to admit that there's something nice about having a spacious house with a living room and dining room and a kitchen to cook instead of 500 square feet where the kitchen, dining room and living room are all one.
I have to admit that I love being able to throw on a sweater and walk outside rather than bundle up in scarves and mittens and hats and coats and layer upon layer to keep me warm.
I have to admit that I don't miss walking through the slush or pushing my way through Times Square.
I have to admit that I actually like eating at home every so often - and being able to grocery shop at the farmer's market every Sunday.
I have to admit that it's nice not to be surrounded by shopping stimuli at every corner.
I have to admit that I love the Arclight and have trouble seeing movies anywhere where I can't get an assigned seat now.
I have to admit that it's pretty damn nice living so close to the ocean.
I have to admit that I think I would miss New York a lot less if I could visit it just a little bit more.
