I spent last week in LA, where the plan was to do daily yoga, eat lots of kale, go surfing a few times, and otherwise stick to a very strict schedule of internet-free writing. Obviously, I did none of this. Instead, I spent the week sampling exotic ice cream flavors, wasting time on the internet, walking in search of everyday establishments like drug stores that seemed mysteriously few and far between, and gorging on carbs and Mexican food.
