And!
A family of quails, mom, dad and lots o’ little ones, ran for bushes when I surprised them with my car.

Passing by…
Yesterday, I passed by Iranian protesters on the sidewalk in Westwood. They were angry over the election results in Iran. Despite a good crowd, they were quite tame, and I couldn’t help but contrast them with the protesters last fall when California was voting for Prop 8. I wonder how many people knew what was […]

Gray Areas
I had the pleasure of accompanying AH on a drive I often make: the 405 straight down from the Valley to Orange County. AH sputtered like she was crossing a time zone. She wondered if anything actually did exist BEYOND Los Angeles. I just couldn’t help laughing because everyone in Orange County is perplexed to […]

LA is BIG
The famous opening lines of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (in the book by Douglas Adams) informs readers that space is big. Really big. You can’t imagine how mind-boggingly big it is. Now, because so our blog is, apply that idea to Los Angeles.
On Saturday of this lovely Memorial Day weekend, I joined up […]

Till the Brew is Good
The day started out as one where things go wrong, and yet, it had moments where things go right so much so that the right things negate the bad things, and I just realize how much I love living in Los Angeles.
Early morning was just chores. Go here. Go there. Wait […]

I spy
Sometimes on the weekends, I’ll see motorcycle clubs riding down the freeway together in formation. Today was the first time I saw a racecar convoy zipping through traffic. It was pretty freaky. They would lane change a hair’s breath between cars. I immediately slowed down to let them all by. But it was also funny […]

Old Inspirations
Mogushi Beach (Kumamoto, Japan)
What was once molten
is now frozen.
You’ve kept your faces so long to see me!
Goggled eyes and agape water-
mouths–depressions, obsessions
of features: noses, ears, feet,
all discarded as the inspiration of an
era “posh today, gone in a
millenium.” Your toothless lips
apologize. Don’t.
I love you all. For so
long, I’ve faced the guardian
of two samurai boys poised
in […]

Palm Sunday
I totally forgot it was Palm Sunday today, but fortunately, AH and I celebrated in style. On this beautiful beach-kind-of-day in Socal, we headed for the hills, specifically a leafy suburb of Pasadena for an outdoor Last Supper with Jesus. The specifics of the luncheon were this: A friend of AH’s dressed up as the […]

New Leaves
Here at LA Anatomia, we don’t get many comments from real people. Instead, we get lots of spam, and what interesting about that is how the comments have changed. In the beginning, the comments were so obviously spam that trickery was impossible. Then they progressed into large novelesque paragraphs full of key words and jibberish […]
