home sweet home

i am home - but i have to tell you i have a HUGE fucking friend crush on LA. the LA that geishaghostshowed me was full of magic and art and surprises and whisky and poems and angelinos and omg i loved it. is it so very strange that today i got a little slutty and have a friend crush on venice beach now too? the vibe i got - such a delicious and real and speaking right down into those parts of my heart where seedy underbelly meets americana meets friendly meets rock n roll meets etc. a town of dreams that break and in the shatter is some glittery glass that reforms itself into a new creature with altogether new beauty. thick and sacrificial. yes. i liked my trip to la very very much.

plus. it smells like summer there. omg. in the morning. in the night. when smells of place and time are strongest. i kept on getting the summer smells smackdown. venice beach smelled like lake superior. i love it when the waters do that.

i took a lot of pictures. you can see them here: http://flickr.com/photos/emchy/

here's a couple of sneak previews.

Like I said to you before, I love LA as a place to visit. Maybe even stay for a long vacation. Wouldn't want to live there, but, you know, as a torrid short-term affair? I can do that.
