Sunset on a Plate

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

The weather in LA is as manic as the people are. I’m not sure which came first — the people or the weather. Last week, it was cool and slightly rainy one day, 90 degrees the next. This PMS-y weather often arrives around autumn here, thanks in part at least to those annoying Santa Anas. [...]
