Yesterday, we made the move from our hotel to an extended stay furnished condo that will be our residence for the duration of our time here in Los Angeles – barring any unforeseen occurrences (like us hating the place and wanting to move elsewhere). The new digs are…interesting.
It has a kind of a South Korean horror movie vibe: cold, creepy, with nary a soul in sight.
The condo itself is quite nice and spacious which is great for us and anyone who wants to come visit, but terrible for Sharky who must map out an entirely new environment on the heels of mapping out an entirely new environment. The place was also missing a few of the little things, like oven trays, a cutting board, plastic wrap, food containers, cleaning products, a lid for the frying pan, and, oh yeah, chairs. Also, the security system is inoperable, the shower door is hammed, and the sheer bedroom curtains have us waking up at the crack of dawn. Also also, some child (I hope it was a child) has doodled on the couch.
The neighborhood is quite nice though and we have noticed quite a few dogs in the area. We are also located close to at least one, possibly two, senior residences. Akemi suggested we stop by some day to see if they might be interested in Sharky’s services. He is an absolute laid-back hit at my mother’s residence in Montreal.
The locals are, so far, a generally unfriendly bunch, but I think that’s an L.A. thing. Hopefully the season 2 writers room will be located in Austin, Savannah, or Charleston.
