Plei, Keens! YAY!
Hmmm... I haven't read Durango Street, so I dunno. But I do remember when I moved to DC and being like, "Huh!? THIS PLACE? I read about this."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Lawrence Block was probably 10% of the reason I moved to New York. It's still funny revisiting stuff I read/saw/etc. before I lived here (or wherever) and realizing I know the places they're talking about.

Kat! I was so happy to find a pair that fit me! The laces are what made them work. The slip-ons just won't fit over my arch, and the Mary Janes, which were cute, hit at a weird point on my toe.
The REI person said they run short, and suggested the 6.5 instead of the 6, and they're lovely. Now that I'm bussing to work, I found that I needed comfortable shoes.
Which means I should avoid these: [link]

My dad gets SERIOUSLY pissed if a phone goes off in his class. If they answer it, he kicks them out. I keep threatening to call him when he's in class. Empty threat, because about the only time he has his cell on is outside of class or when he's travelling (he also uses it for S&R, but not when he's teaching, only when he isn't at home.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Darn you, Plei! Those are too cute.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I remember nothing I've read and little of what I'd seen set in LA until I got here. In fact, I've meant to rewatch Clueless and LA Story and the like. My memory is crap without context. I fell for LA one morning standing in Colin's driveway and listening to dogs and birds. I'd pretty much hated it all the other times I'd been here, but suddenly I knew I not only could live in LA, I pretty much wanted to.
Y Tu Mama was interesting. Both what I was expecting, and not. The biggest surprise was how tiny Gael and Diego are.

Those and the other Baci are totally adorable, but possibly not as comfy as you would hope for them to be.
Lori is Keen KRAZY, as I'm sure you've noticed. Keens and Crocs. The two shoes she'll wear.
I'm good about not having my cell phone on. But my laptop is a whole 'nother thing.

Gael is hotness. Even if he is wee. Which he is.
Have you reseen Swingers since you've been here?

Those Baci are gorgeous, Plei. Really lovely.
I need a revamp of my shoes. This time to include getting rid of stuff. I'm falling into a shoe rut.

NO. My god, that's up there in the must-see-having-moved, isn't it?
Let me get my ass over to Netflix.
