The Los Angeles Basin looks strange tonight. I came home and the entire ocean and coastline all the way up to Venture looks like a pot of water with dry ice dropped into it. On land there is one strip of clouds moving inland right where the airport lies, just low enough to catch the glow from the city below.
Going to the gym for the first time in closer to a year with a friend, who has lots of time to hit the gym regularly, is a very bad idea. This was Thursday. I am still unable to straighten out either of my arms without a whole lot of pain. All weekend I have been asking people to stretch my arms out for me while grimacing in pain.
This weekend was pretty low key, spent trying to keep from moving my arms too much and trying to stay warm. The cold weather is ushering in a storm that is supposed to last the entire week and carry into the next week. Although the weather may be cold, the views are absolutely perfect.
The water is blue and the coastline is visible wall the way up to Ventura.
Downtown Los Angeles. Like any other downtown, just crappier
Normally this is covered by a layer of smog that makes it almost impossible to see.
People were taking advantage of the winds and sailing. If you look closely you can even see a plane taking off from LAX.
Hopefully things clear up for Christmas, but as long as we’re hoping for things, hopefully we get some snow here in Los Angeles for Christmas.
I finally saw the house my parents just purchased, and as soon as I stepped into it, I realized why they had little memory of what the actual house looked like. As soon as you step into the house you can see the view. The pictures that I posted last time do not do the view justice. You can see the snow capped mountains, the city through downtown, and the coastline as far as Malibu on a clear day. I spliced together some photos that I took as well as some more of my mom’s photos. Click for bigger images.
I have to say, good job by my parents. This house is an excellent find. I don’t feel so bad about having no more money. This view is incredible. I can’t wait until it’s warm enough to put a tent in the backyard to camp out under the stars and above the city lights.
Hello, there. My name is Matt, but on this website I just refer to myself as m@. I love all things Star Wars, food, beer, and music, especially The Beatles. I'm one who likes to be noticed and will sometimes say or do inappropriate things to get your attention. I'm perfectly complimented by my online and real life partner Michelle.
