THIS MY BLØG

#3

guest post

on new year's day i travelled to the USA to wish it luck for 2009 and also to attend the winter meeting of the american astronomical society in long beach, california.

i had two nights in echo park house-sitting and feeding a cat. i never saw this cat though, and i am beginning to doubt it exists. also in echo park i walked up and down sunset blvd. trying to buy shoes like a homeless person.

seemed like there wasn't much going on in long beach aside from the conference. i gave my talk, i had my interviews, i manned up and did some networking and saw people i had avoided for a couple of years. economy is kicking astronomy's ass, but maybe i have a job now. might have to spin the phd out for another 3-6 months, but seems like i go to new york in one year, touch wood.

then i went to santa barbara. this is where i kept being involved in deaths: santa barbara, ca. santa barbara is like an american bruges. while i was there i saw the wrestly, benjamin buttons and milk. all of them were lame.

then i went to caltech in pasadena. this was boring but the weather was awesome and my motel had a pool, so now i have a tan. finally i went to rite aid and bought the biggest bottle of nyquil they sell, and then i went home.

virgin atlantic gave me no jokes and i continue to recommend them heartily. on the flight there i saw step brothers and young@heart. these were probably the two best movies i have seen so far in 2009. on the way back i saw appaloosa, which is pretty much the worst film i have seen since 9/11.

to sum up: los angeles is both awesome and terrible and the truth is probably somewhere in between. lessons learned: none. i will say this: i at a great many fish and shrimp tacos in southern california.

excellent guest post thank you and yr take on la is def irl relatable and basically indisputable. i just now returned from a room containing no less than 15 users of this chat site. hope u end up here we will kick it.

btw
fyi

apart from the babies that are killing women, that sounds like a good night out.

mormons arent generally that fun - tho paired w/the rest of the party they might lighten up

ex mormons are more fun than mormons, FYI

but are ex-mormons funner than never-mormons? based on no evidence whatsoever i vote yay.

ex mormons tend to hav a good "fuck it" sort of attitude to them
