Los Angeles

I read about the prostitutes in Los Angeles on the New York Times a while ago. I was in Los Angeles in June. I found it really spacious. The city seems like a gigantic mess of empty buildings and people. I didn’t get to take videos of people there that much. But I did take some videos of the museum. At the hostel I stayed at, people came back rooms late in the night. They brought people along with them seemingly drunk. In the daytime I politely said hello. My toilet got stuck. Then I had to communicate that with people who worked at the hostel. I went out in the daytime again. I was determined to write about the museum and shows. I created a system of writing. I did that for a few weeks. And it really didn’t get any responses. So I decided to unravel the system and write in a new way recently. While I was still in Los Angeles, I went to the academy awards museum. But they told me they were closed for the day. I was disappointed. I was looking forward to the Marilyn Monroe exhibition there. Anyway, I left. Etc.
