As of mid-September, Westwood will be my new place of residence until Dec/Jan. I will be renting a little studio in the back of the house. Unfortunately, it isn't nearly as nice as the main house but I am very glad to be living in a family home in a nice neighborhood within walking distance of campus.
Thurston Avenue affords a lovely view of the new Getty Museum. Hey Whit, remember when we went together? That seems like so long ago. We'll have to get over to the Getty Villa in Malibu at some point because that's where I plan to be interning next Summer!
I spent Saturday afternoon in Westwood, remembering and thinking about what it would be like to be there again. I had lunch at my favorite little eatery (think Fresco with a smaller, more adventurous menu and unfortunately/fortunately, no cupcakes) called Damon & Pythias. Then I popped over to this lovely little coffee shop. I sat in the courtyard with a cafe au lait and my summer read, Beowulf on the Beach: What to Love and What to Skip in Literature's 50 Greatest Hits. I sat there, with the afternoon sun on my face, and thought, So this is my new life in Westwood...
How exciting. I looooove LA. If my plans to move overseas fall through I'm moving to Santa Monica.
