vegan adventures in wonderland
i sold my beachwood canyon bungalow in la and moved to montana last year. to make a family with a bear man in a geodome on 20 beautiful acres. i had high hopes. but my ovaries have not cooperated and now i am close to broke. after 11 months of failing at trying to get acting jobs by putting myself on digital video with my flip camera, propped up on 2 end tables and a foot stool in the living room of said geodome, wearing nothing but my blue "business" suit jacket and underwear, and sending said video to my agent in la via the satellite internet which, i think, is run by a team of oxen, ie. its slow, i have decided i might need to move back to la to get a job.*
so when my friend alicia silverstone, who is beyond lovely, one of the greatest famous people i know, really listens and is genuine and a good friend, asked me if i wanted to move into her place in the hills while i look for a place, probably not in the hills, while she shoots a movie in nyc, i said,YES!. she lives in a beautiful 2 story house with hard wood floors, a heated pool and at least a half acre of woodsy madness. its like alicia in wonderland.**
anyway. my little sister meredith who is 25 and a recent graduate of ocu in the masters musical theatre department, decided she wanted to move to la to follow her dreams. so I, a recent graduate of getting the hell out of los angeles, have moved back to los angeles with my younger, skinnier, less bitter half sister into alicia's vegan home.
i am not a vegan.
i have always wanted to be a vegan. when i dine with alicia i eat vegan and chose not to wear my favorite calf length brown leather boots i've had resoled 3 times, and secretly hope we drive her prius with the cloth seats and not my vintage 06 lexus with the grey again, leather, seats.
so when i moved into her house last month with my little sister who practically grew up on a cattle farm, i asked her if she wanted to be vegan with me while we stay here and cook recipes from alicias vegan cook book. she thought it sounded like a fun adventure. we are pyles. we love adventure. so here we go. on our vegan adventures in wonderland!
Stay tuned!
*that was the longest sentence in the history of sentences. i am sorry. and you are welcome.
**with some very fat vegan mice who apparently sublet at night. we'll get to them later.
