Thoughts on making it to LA

Mojave, CA 100% vibes as a boneyard and 0% as a spaceport

I appreciate having just seen so much of this kind of terrain in pristine form so that I notice how LA imposes itself on the environment – freeways that used to weave between hills but now cut into them after widenings, how there’s grass and tree varieties that there absolutely shouldn’t be

There’s new construction but remarkable how *little* there is, Los Felix-Silver Lake-Echo Park still getting by in ratty one-story shop buildings

Lot of girls on LA Tinder in a professional capacity

Also, cars are weirdly colorless here, like 9 out of 10 are white, black, or some grey in between.
