LA babes

So, after almost half a year in LA, I decided it was time to get lip surgery:

No I didn´t. I might have grown an adams apple though. So. Dear diary. Today it´s the 5th of December, and Mexico is only 19 days away, yay! I´ve realised we´ll probably have to sleep under the stars since we haven´t booked a hotel, but that´s a risk you have to take. We do have a room for the first two nights, here:

 With crazy Americano Daniel and his parrot. If it hasn´t died yet (the parrot, that is). I do not remember it looking like this at all, but things change in seven years I guess. I for one am a lot blonder, wiser and marrieder.

Fogged up

This is what Hermosa feels like with this bloody fog:

And the fog horn (?) is driving me mental, it goes off every 30 seconds and sounds like a phone nobody ever picks up. Yeah, yeah, yeah I love living by the beach. Sorry for complaining. Sorry.

Gray, gray, gray. And a tsunami

Last night I laid awake for hours. Couldn't fall asleep. And there was this sound outside, like it was really windy, but the leaves outside our window weren't moving, so it couldn't be the wind. The more I thought the louder the sound got. And I realised it had to be the ocean. Yes, we live two minutes away so maybe I should've noticed this before, but I haven't. Anyway, in my head, the ocean was going to come swallow us all, I could even hear some people screaming if I concentrated enough. There were scenarios of a huge deadly wave, us running for the car and driving as far up as we could. In our pyjamas. I had to wake up P. "Hey. Hey. HEY!! Are you awake?" Stupid question that one, no one is ever awake before you actually ask it. He murmurs. "Can you hear that sound?" He claims it's distant traffic. What do you mean distant traffic, we live in what could be considered a little village. I make him get up and come look at the ocean from the window with me. I even open the front door to listen to the waves. I think I stand there for over ten minutes. The ocean has never been calmer. I go back to bed with earplugs. If there really is a tsunami, I think I'll have to react faster.

Nostalgia Monday

I'm having one of those days where I just wish I was somewhere else. What, you're in California, it must be awesome!! you might say, but this usually happens to me once in a while no matter where I am, I guess it's the downside of moving around all the time. Homesickness is my specialty, and now, since I feel like I have two homes (Norway&Spain), I'm twice as homesick. Maybe not, but it sounded good.

Also, one of my best friends had a baby, and I wish I could be there with them (lots of hugs to you)!

Things I miss, in no particular order...

The world's healthiest meal

Yup, so it claims to be. And it's soooooooo goody. Do try! Just google "the world's healthiest curry". Promise it's worth it. And, the creator himself (no, not God, just the guy who invented this dish) says it's "full of antioxidants, antifungals, antivirals, analgesics, and antibacterials". Anti-everything, but oh-so-yummy. It also beats cancer, alzheimer, heart disease, and evil.

P likes it too, even though he wants to be anonymous. Naaah, he's just messing with you.
