The end of my month in LA is fast approaching. While I’ll miss my friends, good eats, ridiculous cars, brunch at the Polo Lounge, staring out over the pacific, bikinis on the beach during my daily commute, a quiet office, and amazing weather, I will not miss 45 minute drives to .. well, anywhere. Malibu is far from everything, and traffic certainly doesn’t help.

LA has also been bad luck for my vehicles. The Ducati wouldn’t start and needed a battery charge, and then ended up having brake problems (goes into the shop tomorrow). The truck started hesitating and blowing black smoke, and $650 later, it’s still broken. I’m tearing the Banks programmer out tomorrow bright and early in hopes of a fix before I take it back to the shop.

My next stint will be back up to the Bay Area for awhile, and after that, who knows? Malibu’s rates are completely jacked for the summer (~2300/mo!!), and I have various other exploring to do — my only real deadline is mid-July when I head overseas for a bit.

I haven’t really done a lot of photography in LA, I guess because most of it is old news, as I’ve spent a ton of time here. Will try to make up for that over the next week..
