Day 4:
Rented a bike and drove to Santa Monica beach..a huge beach and a paved road that split it in half..so biking "along" the beach gets a completely new meaning; had the best sandwich of my life due to an empty stomach and 45 minutes of sports;
cooked for a friend of Dan in the evening..."Cioppino", a tomato fish soup recipe from Italy..not that I, being a European, would have known. Dan's friend represents what L.A. stands for: he is gay, quirky and has actor's ambitions. The talking was interrupted from time to time by his cellphone indicating the vicinity of possible dates (aka quickfucks that shouldn't be located in bumblefuck) on www.grinder.com (could there be a name giving away more?); made some blueberry pie and wanted to watch the "Romantics", the first movie Daniel has ever gotten credits for..didn't make it..my drooling after 5 min indicating it was time to go to bed.
