almost there.

we're getting on towards having a los angeles home. just yesterday my husband roasted a chicken and i made chocolate chip cookies. if that doesn't a home make, i don't know what does.

in other news, i'm sure you've heard malibu is burning. we are, of course, completely fine. disturbing, however, is the warning that went out from UCL@ this week to limit our exposure to the air. apparently all sorts of things are burning, and the air is not so good. while this obviously makes sense, it's a hard thing to wrap one's mind around. be careful of the air?

it's funny; i forget we live in a giant city sometimes. it's pleasant to know that we live somewhere where i can see any movie i want, or find any kind of consumable, but i don't walk through it on a regular basis and so the actual phenomenological experience of this place as "city" is largely missing. i kind of feel like i'm in a suburb with lots of sushi and a big honking R1 university.

where we're going to see ian mckellen tomorrow night!
