Alex: I’m not in Wisco anymore! Holy cheese is everyone here super stylish and skinny and tan. I’m still adapting to the way of life out here and more so to the way people dress. My stepmom advised me to only bring my 10 best outfits, as I’d want a whole new wardrobe. But instead of bringing my quesadilla maker, candy dispenser, and a few other cool gadgets, I cram packed my car with clothes. ...
I Like It In The Can
Nik: I used to hate commercials. Specifically, the head rattling blast of noise that infiltrated my quiet night on the couch. Then TiVo came along. Ahh, the genius! I could skip through all those ads with an aggressive flair that screamed “Ha! Take that stupid commercial! My living room is impenetrable!” Additionally, last year, congress passed the CALM Act so Corporate America couldn’t noise pollute our family rooms anymore. But with the ever increasing information ...
Street Names Schmeet Mames
Alex: I can’t tell you how many times I’ve felt like a moron trying to pronounce some of the street names out here. Is LA out to get me or am I just a complete idiot? I honestly think Siri doesn’t know how to say the names either. I’ve asked her. Sepulveda? After knowing what it is supposed to sound like I still have trouble saying it. Tujunga? I mean come on. Is there ...
You Can Do Anything Good!
Alex: My friends and I stumbled across this video years ago of a little girl who had the right outlook on life. Her name is Jessica and she is bursting with positivity. There was one line that we really fell in love with ‘I can do anything good.’ Anytime we were going through a situation, no matter the level of seriousness we said it to each other--you can do anything good! Deciding what to wear ...
Road Rage
Rant from Nik: Dear Sir in the unoriginal-black-SUV-that-everyone-in-LA-drives, I see nothing on your U.B.SUV.T.E.I.LA.D that indicates you are the traffic police. Green means go. It does. Check any drivers education manual. Just because you’re worried that your bumper will be stuck in the crosswalk when the light turns red, doesn’t give you the right to try and control the flow of traffic (at this very busy intersection that takes 20 minutes to get through during rush hour) ...
Workflow
Alex: Figuring out your workflow is tough! Especially when you work from home. It’s so easy to get distracted... and take naps, watch Netflix, eat food, procrastinate. I’m having one of those moments where inspiration takes over all resistance and boy does it feel good to be productive. It got me thinking about what I need to do to get back to this feeling. I realized that the future can’t be written. It can ...
Hot Dog Legs
Nik: This is a great read. Reese Witherspoon is set to star in the movie.
Alex: Nice legs.
Nik: Doggonit.
Alex: Haha, I love you.
Mulan/Milan
Alex: Did you think dating was weird when you first moved out here?
Nik: I had a boyfriend who lived in Italy.
Alex: How’d you meet a guy in Italy?
Nik: I modeled in Milan
Alex: What? How did I not know this? You lived in one of my favorite Disney movies.
Nik: Milan, not Mulan.
Alex: Right.
