Wet Ground
Dear landlady,
What's the point of having a pager when you don't call anyone back very immediately at all? My apartment is leaking and I am for sure going to wake up from being electrocuted, since the water* is leaking into an outlet next to my bed and you aren't doing anything about it (Plus, now I am sitting in the dark 'cause I don't want to plug my lamp into a wet outlet). I mean, I put towels there, but if it rains again in the middle of the night that ain't gonna be enough.
Get your act together,
Laura
*Greg Ruben would be happy if it was freezing cold, 'cause then he could fulfill his dream of having an ice skating party in my apartment.

I am listening to Neko Case so loudly that I didn't realize it was raining.
I am so excited about this rain! Going to make some tea in the morning and get the gas for my fireplace turned on (Although, I am still disappointed that is a gas fireplace and not a real one. sad). Speaking of gas, I spent two hours today preparing foods for a Chanukah dinner. Two hours! Making latkes which I don't even like just because one needs latkes at a Chanukah dinner. And then, thirty minutes before people are supposed to arrive, my stove top won't turn on! So I knock on the doors of the two people I know on my floor and they don't answer. So I end up cooking latkes in some random people's apartment (and to continue the running motif of recent entries, they were watching Law and Order while I was doing this, although it was SVU of which I am no fan) and it was super awkward. And because of this awkwardness, I rushed the cooking and they weren't so fab. Bah! At least the salad was delicious. haha.
As promised to some folk, what follows is an awesome documentary made for the BBC in 1972 called "Reyner Banham Loves LA" which I first watched in my Los Angeles in Film class freshman year. It is spectacular. Please note the Shaft-esque music. Also, I am in the process of reading Banham's Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies and I highly recommend it.

"And you might wonder what I am doing in Los Angeles, which makes nonsense of history and breaks all the rules. Well, I love the place with a passion that goes beyond sense or reason."
