Happy Town is China Town

Spontaneously this Saturday rather than running mundane errands we decided to go to China Town. It was a perfect choice, for our perfect day, it was perfectly sunny and we had a perfectly satisfying lunch at my new favorite restaurant Via Cafe. We sat and admired the tourists, saw cute little girls wearing traditional Chinese pajamas with parasols. We joined in with others and tossed coins into the wishing and even contemplated buying stink bombs. It was lovely, and I felt like a tourist myself. I had this familiar feeling that reminded me of the first time my parents drove me to Melrose. I'd never been to an area so cool; I was 13 years old barley starting Junior High in Anaheim. Melrose was exotic and was the complete opposite of what I was used to, I LOVED it! I remember thinking to myself, that as soon as I am old enough to move out of my parents house I am moving to LA. It’s pretty strange how you forget certain things, things that were so important at one time and now that i have some of those things I totally forget what it was like to fantasize about them. China Town reminded me that a small accomplishment such as moving 35 miles away is an accomplishment. I guess the point if there is one to this entry it’s to chill out and enjoy life...

Believe it or not I am camera shy, but I insisted that we capture our perfect day so here it is. I also picked up some absolute necessities such as ten small wooden clocks... I think they have been sitting in that store since the 80's doll house trend. I happily bought them and am strongly considering going back and buying the remaining 40....
