Again, in a perverse way, it makes me love the city more.
I'm back in L.A., and it took me only about a week to fall back in love with it. I felt it happen while staring at a sunset over the palm trees. I just spent four months sailing to the Caribbean and back and I still kind of can't get over palm trees.
Anyway, one of the many endearing things about this city is that Angelenos are so willing to be self-deprecating about it, to make shallow jokes and stupid jokes and shallow stupid pretty people jokes. There was a campaign for the L.A. County Fair a year or two ago that was damn close to brilliant.

Also endearing? The fact that there's always someone willing to actually live up to the stereotypes. I saw a car with a personalized plate last week: SMPLFY, or some variation of that.
It was on a BMW SUV.
They were turning into the parking lot of a Whole Foods.
God, I love it here.
