I'm a transplanted Los Angelino and gray weather makes me sad.

[Bicoastal]

Things are actually going pretty well for me right now, and last night my long-planned birthday party went off without a hitch. I've got an Oscar party to go to this evening, etc. etc.

And yet I'm depressed for no reasion because it's cloudy in Brooklyn this afternoon, and because of where I grew up, lack of sun = :(

Afternoons like these make me wish I was back in Lala Land!

1. The grass is always greener...

...except in LA, where it is always a shade of grey/brown.

2. I'm a transplanted Monterey Peninsulan living in LA

And I LOVE foggy, rainy grey weather.

LA weather sucks.

3. Leave now, before leaving becomes impossible.

Which it does.

You have been warned.

[Bicoastal]

4. You'll miss it when you're gone.

Series.

6. It's actually my second tenure here. First was....

From 1993-2000 or so, and I moved back in July of 08.

I was brought up to hate LA, but I don't. It's the best big city in the country, in terms of the mind-numbing variety of things to do/see.

7. The diversity of the people and the land is second to none

There's something for everyone here.

[tanngrisnir3]

9. Oh, yeah. Bang for the buck factor for diversity....

in culture, langauge, food, you-name-it is, IMO, well past SF and NYC, especially if one counts the San Gabriel Valley and West Side.

I don't want to be here forever, but it's great for the time being.

10. I consider all the burbs as part of LA

LA to me goes from ventura county down to pendleton.

[tanngrisnir3]

13. Ack! I can't stand the Orange Curtain, but there really....

isn't any proper demarcation line. It's all one, big city from Thousand Oaks to San Onofre to shitsville 909 land out east.

5. Just pretend it's a smoggy haze without the brownish tint

[Tektonik]

11. LA smog is hardly that bad anymore

The sky gets all fucked up looking the first week or so after we get REALLY hot temps, which makes the horizon have a brown tint.

[Occam Bandage]

8. So you're telling us that all the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray.

And you've been for a walk on a winter's day. Not only that, but you'd be safe and warm if you were in LA?

You should write a song about that.

12. Then he could choke on a ham sandwich!
