'I Kinda Like L.A.'

I said those words as Matt and I drove home from a night hanging out in the garden restaurant of Chateau Marmont. While we were there, I drank wine and we all laughed and the heat-lamps kept us warm and the setting was private and beautiful. Jason, who was staying there, gave us the grand tour of the old-fashioned homey rooms, the adorable secluded bungalows, the heated pool, the grounds with lush plants and sweet-smelling flowers. We did not spot any celebs (though I'd heard Lindsay Lohan could show up there after being busted for a DUI) but felt like we were hanging with the beautiful people for a night.

On the way home, Beck played over the stereo, the traffic moved quickly, the lights of the city shown brightly and I felt happy to be heading to our little home at the Park La Brea in the heart of Los Angeles.
