I moved a lot when I lived in LA. I used to say, instead of spring cleaning, I moved. My family kidded me about how they never wrote my address in their address books in pen – always pencil. My last apartment was on Magnolia, in Sherman Oaks. It was not my favorite apartment, but…

Right now, I feel like what isn’t fucked up. And I wish it was just limited to WTF Wednesday. But better minds than mine are telling you all about the fucked-uppiness of our world. And, sadly, so are some (much) worse minds than mine. That’s all I got.
