///SWAN///

Ballet-piano fusions will always give me passionate chills. Black Swan was frighteningly erotic; the MDMA scene made me feel like I was really rolling & the gay fantasy scene made my lesbian tendencies creep back into me. Every scene with Kunis as Lily made me squirm with lesbionic desire, but really now. & I must say, for a mere six months of training, Portman was pretty exceptional as the swan.
But this, this is the real shit. Mariinsky Mariinsky, when ever will you pass through LA ?

///LA///

Falling slightly in love with LA this year,
did you notice?

wanted to spent the day with you/
but i guess i'll spend the night with you/
spend a little time with you/
wear those little diamonds too/
every time you kiss me i/
wanna lay you down & i/
wanna go downtown & i/
wanna crown your mind/
meant to be that's us/
& if it makes you hate that's us/
to a sideways eight that's us/
that real LAlien lust/

///BOOKED///

This evening I'm spending unpacking the rest of my novels, textbooks, magazines, & art books,
lining them up & stacking them OCD-like for people to fuck up with a satisfying joy.
I'm such a n3rd, bro.. @.o
The stairwell from my upper bedroom area to the lower living area.
I stacked the books diagonally across the top of the red separation wall.

///DTLA///

When I was fourteen, I dreamed of the city. A loft with hard concrete floors, red brick offensive to the touch, & vast daydreaming windows. At the time I imagined it to be a loft amidst the center of New York, at eye level with other neighboring penthouses, all to myself. At the end of 2009 I moved into my very first loft, but quite unlike my teenage dream it was in Downtown Los Angeles, with a roommate. A few months later, due to roommate difficulties, I moved into my second loft down the road, by myself. A mere two weeks ago I moved into my third & most desirable loft yet.

I no longer dream of moving to New York, though friends are still convinced I belong there. I've finally accepted Los Angeles as my home. & not just any part of Los Angeles, but Downtown in particular. Now that I live here, venturing out to other parts of the city seems so foreign to me. The people differ so much over this freeway & that; the walks, the talks, the styles of dress, the dogs they walk, the cars they drive.

Last Saturday for the first time in a long time I spent the day in Santa Monica, I felt almost alien, as if I'd flown to a different country altogether where I wasn't familiar with the local customs or language. Considering the fact that I spent my first one & a half years in Los Angeles living on the Westside by the beach, it was peculiar to feel uncomfortable enough to wish that I'd rather be back in Downtown. Somehow I feel like DTLA people are more down to earth, like the daily sights & interactions just walking the streets here are humbling experiences in themselves.

After holing myself up in loft after loft amidst the abandoned, the restored, the wasted, the jeweled.. & after the unconditionally friendly [at times too friendly] people of this here Downtown who, even on my shittiest ugliest days, will still holler at a sad stranger & brighten her day with unmeant comedy.. After all this, anywhere else seems rather pompous & overly materialistic. But, in saying that, perhaps to others us Downtowners have our own air of earthly arrogance.
Perhaps, perhaps.
