so...

...i rode the bus downtown today. Usually, i stay on the southern end of downtown, but today, i went to mid/the nw part of downtown i think. I really appreciate the Los Angeles "landscape", and the weirdness of it all. Im guessing i was in the Jewelry District (yea LA has that) bcuz i kept seeing all these seedy-looking jewelry stores. Downtown LA is in no way glamorous (or sunny). Instead, it is a mix of silvers, browns, blacks, and greys that blend together to make this almost scary and shadowy environment.....and i love it.

The lady on the bus across from me kept asking me questions about directions, and i kept answering as if i was a native...i liked that. Then some lady got on and started speaking Spanish to her, and i acted like i knew what she was saying by looking at her with intensity and laughing when they laughed...that was fun :-) they prolly was talkin bout me!!
