Everyone wants to be found


When I think of that phrase "lost in translation", I immediately think of Scarlett and Bill sitting at a fancy Tokyo hotel bar bored, lost and lonely.

And I have to say, I'm beginning to feel the same way.

But I'm not in Tokyo. In fact, I'm in the City of Angels (which I can loosely call home). I'm not in a foreign country. I do speak the language. I do know my way around. This is where I grew up. This is my city...and yet, it's not at all. English is flying over my head and I'm dazed. What is this foreign land they call LA?

  1. I like this. and not just because of the movie and scarlett. but because the relationship between bill murray and scarlett is beautiful. they are both lost and lonely, but they understand each other, and that's all that matters :)
