Makes Jack a dull boy:

[crows]

I become daily more assured that I hate Los Angeles. Something about the temperament of this place disgrees with me on a level that is difficult to describe. All I know is that it isn't something that's inherent in big cities... I can exist in other big cities, that I know of, and not have this... this reaction of skin-crawly loathing that I feel more and more in my daily life here. I didn't come down expecting to love it; god knows I've never been enchanted by this city. But...

It's really neither here nor there. Maybe all I need is a break.

I've heard from all corners that it's a shithole.

But....

don't you feel that way about all the places you stayed in for any said period of time?

Hardly :P The only two that count are here, and Anchorage. Which, though I've sometimes been frustrated and bemused by, I've never particularly loathed. Not for a long time, at least. Many years.

New Orleans is always good for a break. Bring boyo, I know a couple of couches available as well as numerous hole-in-the-walls, pool halls, dance halls, college bars, ugly bars, fancy bars, hipster clubs, goth clubs, drug dens, riverside docks and sitting areas, etc.

Just an offer though.

It's highly tempting. Do the drive-bys come included in the vacation package or do I have to pay extra for them?

My month in Alaska will serve as a staging platform for the next year of stuff, hopefully. I'll be in touch!
