Day 1--Hollywood and Opine
I'm hitting the ground running. I've just been passed the torch to document my new adventures in LA. So far, after being a Los Angelican for a month, I can't seem to get passed the constant sound of the ghetto bird, the sirens, the bum fights, the crack whores, or the silent scowls of the rich and famous. But, if my friend is right, and there is a way to navigate through life in LA without being killed by some crazy hood-rich asshole in an Aston Martin, then I am ready to find it.
Day 1 was filled with cookies, kiwis, and cream, oh my! I went to the ever popular and trendy Pinkberry on Melrose. Since I've been here before, I decided that instead of getting something that was tasty and sweet, I would make the most offensive blend of fruit and sugar I could possibly think of. And if it did magically still taste good, then all my myths would be confirmed-- that Pinkberry did indeed have magic sprinkles in that white whipped cream. Magic it is, for only that can explain how kiwis, Captain Crunch, and Oreo could possibly ever taste good together. All three in one bite was a combo of sugar upon sugar, upon more piles of sugar and of course those really annoying black seeds that get caught in your teeth. Heaven. Highly recommended.
Oh, but it doesn't stop there. What does Pinkberry have anything to do with the movie "Big?" you may ask? Well, nothing. But do you remember that kid that turned into Tom Hanks in the movie? Well, neither do I. But nevertheless, he was there too, enjoying his fruity dessert and shelling out bad one-liners in the hopes that he could cash in on his fame as once being the kid that turned into Tom Hanks in the movie Big. Captain Crunch and being hit on by a D-lister; all in all, not a bad day in LA. If this is a sign of the 30 days ahead, I'll have to strap myself in cause I have a feeling in LA, I won't have to look far for adventure. Adventure will surely come to me.
