Hurricanes in Long Beach can bring severe rain

Hurricane Hilary, a Category 4 storm heading towards Southern California, is expected to bring heavy rainfall to parts of the state as a tropical storm after hitting Mexico. Although it is expected to weaken as it approaches, the remnants could still bring several inches of rain and potential flooding. Hilary could dump over a year's worth of rain in parts of Long Beach, causing a rare high risk of excessive rainfall, Level 4 of 4, for parts of California. This is the first time a high-risk warning has been issued for the area. In 1978, Hurricane Norman's remnants landed near Long Beach, but the storm had been downgraded to a tropical depression.

“Baby,” he whispered through soft pants. “Missed you so fucking much.”

“Think I missed you even more. Hardly even got off while you were away,” she told him through kisses.

Harry stopped quickly at that, making Y/N hum in disappointment. But nevertheless he pushed her body away from his just a few inches so he could look into her eyes. 

“Not at all?”

Suddenly under the light of his questioning, she couldn’t help but look away. “I mean... a few times but it wasn’t...they weren’t... you’re so much better at it, H.” As she admitted it to him, she could feel her cheeks warming up and knew they were turning pink. “Just....after the first couple weren’t very good so I just... stopped trying.” 

“Fuck,” he mumbled under his breath in disbelief. “Tha’s why yeh so needy today, hmm? Need some help making up for lost time?”

Six weeks.

That’s how long it had been since Y/N got to enjoy the feeling of being wrapped up in Harry’s arms. Six weeks since they last fucked in his loft above the bar, trying but failing at not getting emotional. Six weeks since they kissed goodbye and Harry rubbed away the tears falling down her face with a promise. Six weeks since she got to see his eyes crinkle and dimples pop when he made a bad joke. Six weeks since they had seen each other. 

A month and a half ago, Harry had made the trip down to LA. His lease had already been signed, his furniture and luggage was packed away in a big truck, and Jeff was waiting for him, probably somewhere that took too long to get to with the traffic but made up for it with high ceilings and bright rooms. 

Y/N had stayed behind in their hometown, but not really out of choice. Her job wouldn’t be starting for another two months, and she didn’t have the means to pay for that much extra rent. Plus, she had to go buy ‘business clothes’ (whatever that really meant) and appease her parents so they would help her pay for the move. 

They talked on the phone every day that they were apart, but it just wasn’t the same. Every day, Harry seemed to be loving LA more and more, and every day, Y/N found another reason to hate her hometown. She missed him terribly. Even went to the bar a few times to chat with Niall, but it just wasn’t the same. Every night she swore it got harder and harder to sleep alone. And it’s not like she had been fully pleasured since he had left either. Her own fingers and toys just didn’t match up to what she knew he could do to her anymore. 

So when Harry parked his car in front of Y/N’s new building and walked out with sunglasses perched on his forehead, she couldn’t help but run right up to him and jump into his arms. He held her tight as their mouths finally reconnected after so much time apart, and they giggled when she hopped up and wrapped her legs around his waist. She wanted him, and she wanted him now. 

But now wasn’t really possible, seeing as they were standing outside a completely empty apartment. So after they ran out of breath and were forced to disconnect their lips, they started the real work of moving all of Y/N’s stuff inside.

The place was nice, albeit on the small side. But Los Angeles is expensive and the new job was only paying just enough for her to afford a small studio in a nice enough part of town. Harry’s place was only a ten minute drive away and her morning commute was estimated to be about thirty minutes, which really wasn’t that bad considering the stories she’d heard about people driving for three hours each way. 

Harry carried in Y/N’s boxes and furniture while she worked on unpacking and filling up her new space. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand, standing back to look at the room full of boxes.

“Geeze, babe. Didn’t realize you had so much stuff.”

She just shrugged. “I tend to accumulate things quickly... didn’t take long for me to get you, did it?”

Harry chuckled at that, shaking his head at the floor. 

“Besides, ‘was fun watching you carry things in.”

“Yeah,” he smirked. “Like what’ya see?” He teased her as he slowly took his shirt off and threw it to the floor, relieved to no longer have the sweat stains sticking to his body. 

Y/N tried to make it seem like she was unbothered, but her cheeks quickly turned pink, betraying her. 

“Y’so cute when you’re all hot and bothered.”

“I’m not hot and bothered,” she insisted. “Well... I suppose I am a bit hot...” Y/N proved that two could play at this game as she slowly removed her shirt as well, throwing it to join Harry’s on the floor and standing in front of him with her sports bra. 

His eyes were wide when she looked back at him, and she couldn’t help but giggle. 

“Alright then, get back to work H.”

She saw him roll his eyes, but he obeyed nonetheless. Now that most of her things were physically inside the apartment, he turned his attention to putting together her bed frame. And Y/N was grateful, seeing as she had tried to do it herself in the past but always failed miserably. 

He got to work in one corner of the room while Y/N went over to the kitchen area and started sorting the small forks from the bigger ones. She couldn’t help but admire him from afar. He sat on the floor with the instruction booklet halfway open and his finger rolling on his bottom lip as he tried to figure out what was in front of him. With his upper half bare, she could see that his broad shoulders looked even more muscular than she remembered, and the light dusting of sweat across his back was making her mouth water. 

They worked in sync for another hour or so. The whole thing was just so utterly domestic, and Y/N couldn’t help but giggle when Harry started to mumble profanities under his breath.

“Why don’t you take a break, babe,” she said softly as she crossed the room. Stroking her hand up and down Harry’s back, Y/N could feel the tiniest bit of tension leaving his system.

Harry sighed before looking up at his girl next to him. Y/N could practically feel the way his eyes raked over her body, but she couldn’t find it within herself to mind. She had noticed that Harry had been having a hard time keeping focused on the task at hand and kept looking at her out of the corner of his eye instead.

Finally, he nodded before lightly grasping her forearm and bringing it in front of him so he could place a sweet little kiss at her wrist.  

“Break sounds lovely, darling,” he told her softly, demeanor now completely changed from the stressful aura he had around him moments before. 

She nodded and looked back at the stove to see the time. “Probably about time we start thinking about dinner, or a shower?”

“Mmhm,” Harry agreed. “Why don’t you bring your shower things over to my place? Got those fluffy towels y’like hanging up and everything.”

Y/N’s face lit up at that. The fact that he had thought ahead to be ready for her was making her heart melt. She sealed the deal with a soft kiss to his lips as he stood up, and followed her quickly out the door.

The drive to Harry’s place was short, but definitely not short enough. The whole way there Y/N’s leg was bouncing and her fingers were fidgeting. It was just way too hard to keep her hands completely to herself when she had Harry sitting just next to her a few inches away. 

At one point Y/N had even let her left hand inch over the center divider and rest up high on Harry’s thigh, just to see if he would react. 

“Sweetheart,” he started with teeth clenched and eyes burning a hole in the windshield straight ahead. “Not in the car, ‘s not safe.” He took a deep breath when she didn’t budge. “Be a good girl now, ok?” 

She inhaled sharply at his words, realizing that she had been successful in getting him riled up but that he wasn’t going to take it easy on her either. Even though Harry couldn’t see, Y/N nodded her head as she took her hand away from him and placed it back in her own lap. At least the view out the window was nice - it kept her attention enough so she wouldn’t distract Harry any more than she already had. But her mind still wandered as she remembered the last time they had been together. The way he had touched her, and spoken to her, and loved on her. And she was craving more of it. 

Y/N had never been more relieved for a car to park in her life. The moment Harry turned off the engine, she was rushing to undo her seatbelt and run into his apartment. The only problem was that she didn’t know which one was his, and so after about three steps she had to turn around and find him.

And there he was, standing with his arms crossed over his chest and a smug look on his face as he leaned against the side of the car and raised his brow at her.

“Oh, going somewhere?”

“Harryyy,” she whined. “Shut up and show me which one it is.”

Cohabitation (T)

This gift is for: Rebecca (AKA @arel-rhink)

Happy holidays! Summary: Link is fixated on the physicality of their shared spaces, from childhood to adulthood, he finds comfort in having Rhett by his side.

From your Secret Santa, Cyrene (AKA @killthenaughtyboy)

Link to AO3, or read below:

It’d been a build-up to this, really. An inevitability that they’d end up occupying the same physical space in perpetuity. The realization comforts Link.

Link remembers the first time Rhett had spent the night at his house. It was Link’s first real sleepover ever, actually, and he was nervous but so, so excited to have a friend like Rhett. They stayed up all night long making each other laugh and getting shushed by his stepfather. Link didn’t think he’d ever be happier than that first night together.

But there were many more sleepovers. The ones Link loved the most were the ones at Rhett’s house, when Rhett’s mama would drive them down to the video store to pick out movies and popcorn and candy. Rhett always seemed to know how to pick out the best movies, even if sometimes Link found them to be just a little bit scary.

Of course, it was Rhett who suggested that he and Link make their own movies together someday. After that it was all he and Rhett talked about during their regular sleepovers, coming up with stories and characters as they lay side by side in their sleeping bags. Link was sure they were meant to do great things together. Together.

By the time they were in high school, they still talked about making movies, but now much of their time was spent in a group of friends. In truth, Link missed having Rhett’s attention all to himself. But he’d never admit it out loud.

Camping trips were a regular occurrence. Rhett and Link and all their friends would hike into the woods, crossing the river to find their favorite spot on an island between two streams. They’d stay up late, gathered around the campfire laughing and joking and goofing off. But once the embers of the campfire died down and a chill set in, Link was more than eager to retreat to his sleeping bag.

Of course, he and Rhett always shared a tent. It was a well-won old two-person tent that Rhett’s family had owned for ages. They’d used it a hundred times as kids and it had always seemed so big back then. They didn’t have sleepovers anymore now, they were too old for that, but Link loved their camping trips. It reminded him of all the times they used to camp out in the McLaughlin’s backyard, staying up late and looking at stars through the mesh roof. Even now, as teenagers, Link felt a special comfort in there being just the two of them. He’d fall asleep in his sleeping bag, pressed up against the edge of Rhett’s, knowing that as long as they were together, everything would be ok.

College came and they didn’t make it to film school. But they’d resolved to stay together no matter what, and as they unpacked their belongings into their shared dorm room for the first time Link was absolutely sure they’d made the right decision. The thought of going to film school alone, across the country, while Rhett stayed behind in North Carolina to play basketball made Link’s stomach hurt. They’d figure out a way to make movies no matter what, and that could only happen as long as they were physically together in the same space. Like they were meant to be.

It was the little things about their dorm life that Link cherished most. Sure, there were parties and people and classes and a whole mountain of brand-new experiences to be had, but the time he and Rhett had all to themselves could never be matched. To Link, it was doing laundry together, cleaning the dorm together, and making cheap dinners together that made him truly feel like Rhett was his person. The intimacy of doing simple daily tasks with Rhett by his side made his heart feel full.

The dorm was their own little world and it was absolutely everything they’d dreamt of since they were kids. They filled the space with their favorite things: pictures of Lionel and Merle, posters of their favorite movies, and references to a lifetime of inside jokes only they could appreciate. Most of all, Link loved referring to their shared items as “ours.” Our couch, our ‘fridge, our room. It made him feel warm and fuzzy every single time. Link decided it was a feeling he always wanted to have.

Eventually, they’d moved out of the dorms and into a shared apartment with two other guys. He and Rhett had still decided to share a room though - that choice had been obvious. Despite all the fun they had as a group, Link always looked forward to weekends the other guys were out of the house. When he and Rhett would stay in and rent a bunch of movies and spend the whole night out on the couch in a pile of pillows and blankets. Half the time they didn’t even pay attention to what was on the screen. Instead, they made jokes and laughed and came up with silly scenarios of their own. The things that he and Rhett came up with were always a hundred times more entertaining to him than any movie they could rent.

But eventually college came to an end and they moved on. To separate homes with separate families, separate jobs, and separate lives. It was hard at first, and Link found himself suffocating and stagnant, like he felt himself moving farther and farther away from how he’d envisioned his life. He loved his family, so much, but there was something missing.

Rhett had felt it too. So, they decided they’d make a new oath. That they’d drop everything and come together once a week, just the two of them and create. Anything. A song or a story, a movie idea or a funny video. And Link began to feel whole again. Maybe he and Rhett couldn’t live together forever, that reality had made itself known early, but they could still be together creatively.

And after months and months of hard work, of risks and worrying and hopefulness, they’d decided to take the plunge. They rented a small studio for just the two of them, dedicated solely to making videos, and cultivating their growing internet success, allowing them to create bigger and better things together.

Once again Link found himself fixated on the physicality of their shared space.

They’d decorated the new studio together, spending hours at the hardware store picking out the right shade of green for the walls, gathering items here and there to furnish the space, and selecting important pieces of their history together to represent their joint-ownership of a new business based around their friendship.

As they fell into the swing of things their success only grew, and they spent more and more time together in their tiny studio creating. Sometimes they’d end up sleeping at the studio, frantically trying to make a deadline. They’d take turns napping on the ratty used couch, and Link would fall asleep comforted by the sound of Rhett tapping away at the keyboard just next to him. They were exhausted, but here they were, together, creating. Doing exactly everything they’d promised each other since those first sleepovers so many years ago. Link smiled into the floral print fabric of the couch as he drifted off.

Hours upon hours of hard work and sacrifice and millions of subscribers later they’d decided, together, to make the move to Los Angeles. It was scary and adjusting to life in California wasn’t always easy, but Link had Rhett by his side. They’d packed up everything they’d owned into a van and set out across the country. And as Link fell asleep, tucked in carefully next to Rhett on a shabby motel bed somewhere between Fuquay-Varina and Los Angeles, he thought about how happy his younger self would be to know that they’d made it this far. That they were making good on their blood oath. And that they were well on their way to a life path that involved them being together always.

Over the years they’d shared countless motel rooms. In the beginning, it was always a shared room with a single bed, because it was all they could afford. But Link never minded. Rhett liked to joke that Link slept “with reckless abandon,” but Link truly never felt more relaxed than when he was physically close to Rhett. Eventually their success allowed them to book separate rooms with king-size beds, but they often found themselves opting for a shared suite when possible. It was just easier when they were in the same space, they said. It was more practical. Even when they stayed in separate rooms, they always found themselves lounging together in a single room until it was time to go to bed. It was just an unspoken need to inhabit the same physical space.

Their success grew, and they built an empire around their friendship. Eventually they found themselves with a huge studio and dozens of crewmembers under their employment. Throughout it all they’d maintained a shared office, eventually moving into one with a secret loft space, just for the two of them. But as their productions grew and their crew expanded, they began to crave creative solitude again. At first, they’d rent out a cabin for a week to work on a specified project. It was always the most productive they’d been in a while, allowing them space to be unguarded, joking without upholding a camera-ready persona, or just allowing themselves to settle in to a comfortable silence side by side.

It was Link who first suggested the idea of renting out their own home. A creative house, he said, just for the two of them. No crew, no cameras, no need to be the talent or to be bosses. It had sounded ridiculous at first. An entire house? Who would maintain the yard? Would they need to buy furniture? Stock a refrigerator? But after a few online searches, they eventually decided on a place not far from the studio and their own homes, to see with a realtor.

Link hated how cliché it sounded, but he fell in love with the house at first sight. It was a cute little home with grey stucco and flower pots in the front yard, in a quiet little neighborhood. It had three bedrooms and a pool in the backyard and it took no effort at all to imagine he and Rhett filling the space with themselves. They’d signed a lease agreement that very day.

It was surreal, at first, almost like going all the way back to that very first dorm room he shared with Rhett. There was a giddiness and awe they felt at having their own place, despite the fact that they’d both owned houses and an entire Burbank studio. This was different, it was just for them. Almost a sacred place. A refuge.

They painted the middle room the color of their skin. It was all a part of a bit, something funny and ridiculous and surreal that represented their brand of humor. But the symbolism wasn’t lost on Link. That room represented the physical coming together of their bodies into a shared space. Just like they were meant to be. It was almost like a culmination of the blood oath they’d shared as kids. They did it. They made great things together. And now here, in their new space, they’d continue to make things. As long as they were together, they could do anything.

And just like in that very first studio, Link’s favorite thing was decorating the house. Filling it with representations of themselves. They bought a soft, cushioned black couch and a coffee table shaped like a cassette tape, a custom display rack for Link’s vinyl records, and a beautiful wooden shelving unit that would take up an entire wall. It had been Rhett’s idea that they raid their prop storage facility for more furnishings. It would save some money and they’d have the opportunity to fill the space with some of the quirky items from their past. It symbolized a new beginning filled with treasures from their past.

Eventually Link brought his smoothie machine from home and Rhett brought his yoga ball. They brought bowls for the dogs, and Rhett’s favorite knife. Link brought all of his favorite vinyl albums, to display proudly on the wall. They had everything they needed.

But Link’s proudest moment was decorating the big wooden wall-hanging shelf. While Rhett was at the Burbank studio, Link had spent the whole day at the creative house planning the layout of his shelf. He’d spent days before, carefully selecting items that represented the gamut of their history together. Magazines with Merle on the cover, awards they’d won, gifts from Mythical Beasts, and a more few of the quirky items they’d collected along the way.

Link’s favorite part was the hidden drawer. In it, he’d placed his favorite photos of he and Rhett together as kids, carefully laid flat and framed: the one of them in matching purple gorilla shirts, their special handshake on Rhett’s lawn before their high school prom, and a third photo of them with Ben. Alongside the photos were their two VIP badges from the time they’d met Merle, and finally, their shared artist badge from the Nashville Comedy Fest. To Link, the drawer represented proof that they’d fulfilled their blood oath, and then some. They were his most precious memories with Rhett.

Now, after almost a year in their home together, the once stark white walls and empty rooms glowed with warmth from the items that now filled the space. Like a museum dedicated to their entire life together.

Link considered the house the best idea they’d ever had. Their friendship was stronger than ever and they’d managed to rekindle their creativity and productivity without feeling like they were burned out. The house was a refuge, away from cameras and responsibilities as bosses, a place where they could spend all night hashing out the details of a big project, where they could spend a weekend lounging by the pool, or where they could film a silly video based on a spur of the moment idea.

It was winter now, and the weather was growing cooler, even if by California standards. One evening, Link found himself bundled up on the couch across from Rhett, blanket wrapped around his shoulders and a laptop perched on his knees as he concentrated on a line of dialogue from an upcoming project they were working on. He’d tuned everything else out, but suddenly he became aware of a deep silence in the room. When he looked up, he found Rhett staring at him, a small smile tugging at his lips and a warm in his eyes.

“What?” Link asked, a small grin coming to his own face. He wondered how long Rhett had been watching him.

“Nothing,” Rhett said, shaking his head, his eyes never leaving Link’s. “C’mere,” he laughed, patting the soft couch beside him. “Let’s watch a movie, your pick.”

Link searched his eyes for a second, finding only warmth and comfort. He set his laptop closed on the coffee table and shuffled around to Rhett’s side, fuzzy blanket still draped over his shoulders. Rhett scooted over and made space by his side, resting his arm across the back of the couch so Link could settle in next to him. It was something they hadn’t done since the dorms back in college, but Link fell back into the routine easily. It wasn’t about the movie really, it never was. It was about the physicality of being in each other’s space.

As the opening credits of the movie started to roll across the laptop screen, Rhett leaned over and pressed a soft kiss to the hair above Link’s temple. That part was new for them, but it didn’t take Link by surprise. He settled into the warmth of Rhett’s side, in their shared home, surrounded by memories of the past and plans for the future.

Californication

20 years ago, I moved out to Los Angeles.  I remember a few pivotal things about my decision, and there were some signature moments that told me right away, “your not in Kansas anymore”.

As any fool would do, I had never visited Los Angeles before deciding to relocate there.  With one exception; upon being woo’d by a big entertainment studio, I was put up in a decadent hotel suite overlooking the Valley.  Year upon year of immersing myself in animation and technology paid off - well, kind of.  This one time experience really didn’t give me a realistic sense for what life would be like living in the Valley.  How could a 5 star hotel really reflect any reality?  

I remember how I felt  as I got prepared for my interview that day.  Rolling out of a plush king size bed and swinging open the sash to bask in the California morning sun on the balcony.  For me, a little man from a little state, it was my Hollywood story.

The San Fernando Valley, often refereed to as The Valley, is an urbanized valley in Los Angeles County metro area, defined by the mountains of the Transverse Ranges circling it.

So I’ll be the first to let you know, all my trials and tribulations are completely on me.  I did my research quite a bit on the areas that might be good to live in, and I had a list of apartment ads ready to visit.  Little did I know, much like the popular real estate of New York City, good rentals in Los Angeles go almost just as quick.  I lived in New York City a few years prior, and I remember forking over a few grand to a broker to locate a clean safe apartment in the Upper East Side. My standards were high; no rats, no roaches, and near a bar.  I was in my 20′s, what can I say.  Never having lived in NYC before (see a pattern here), upon walking into the apartment, the broker informed me I had about two minutes to decide if I wanted the place.  I hadn’t even walked around the place to inspect it much yet!  Just as I began to contemplate his pressure tactic as a scheme to get me to commit to some type of small overpriced loft, I looked out the third floor window to see a line of people walking down the sidewalk towards us.  Being 6 AM on a Saturday, the sidewalks were still fairly barren, and it was obvious that the line was made up of clients and realtors.  Over a dozen were making their way toward the place.  Without further inspection of the apartment I reluctantly said, “I’ll take it”.  And literally, just as I said that, the door swung open with potential renters.  My broker belted out, “It’s already taken”, and immediate sorrow wiped over their faces.  Later upon leaving NYC, I would find out I landed an amazing rent controlled piece of paradise.

401 E. 62nd Street New York.  It doesn’t look like much, but I later came to find out that this rent controlled piece of New York paradise was a steal.  $1500 a month and about 800 square feet.   Huge by New York City standards!

Through my online investigation in digital dumpsters like Craigslist and West Side Rentals, I concluded that Studio City would be an ideal place for me to start.  Pre-Reddit and Quora days made finding quality opinions and information hard, and my research through the digital underground highlighted Studio City and Pasadena as potentially decent places to kick off my West Coast adventures.  So on my return to Los Angeles, and after the film studio had me in contract, I found myself living on my last relocation expenses in a modest Pasadena three star hotel.  The realities of living in LA were now beginning.  While I knew Pasadena was one of the safest and cleanest parts of Los Angeles, I desired a more authentic Hollywood experience.  An experience that would limit my commute time to the studios and maybe up the ante of spotting a few celebrities from time-to-time.  Studio City, known as an up-and-coming hipster hangout was at the top of my list.  I had a list of apartments to check out, and I made my way over to the first stop off of Laurel Canyon.  One apartment really sticks out in my memory that day.  

This apartment building was hard to find.  It all seemed like an utter maze of alleyways stemming off of Ventura Boulevard.  The apartment was a two bedroom on the tenth floor.  “$2,000 dollars” the landlord told me.  At the time, I thought that was so much money.  Looking back, it was completely fair.  “You won’t find an apartment like this at this price.  Not with a view like this.”  The landlord was right. I though, didn’t have my rose colored glasses on.  Looking straight our over The Valley was a terrific view, and I bet at night it would have been beautiful.  Although I looked straight down and saw a bum pushing his grocery cart down a dirty dried water drainage canal.  Given the potential for torrential rains to flood the area, these canals were really everywhere.  Filled with trash, they weren’t the best thing to look at, but served as vital infrastructure to the city to alleviate flooding.  

Being new to the city though, I still was looking for everything to be just right.  Perfect is rarely found though, and I just wasn’t being reasonable.  Later I would land a decent 2 bedroom apartment in the heart of Burbank.  And Burbank really is where most studio employees live, so it suited me well.  So now that I’ve lived in Los Angeles for an extensive amount of time, I get it.  72 degrees everyday, clear skies, beautiful!  A little pollution, a few bums; you need to just look past the imperfections and enjoy your environment.  Every place has it’s problems, and I couldn’t enjoy the city until I learned to embrace the city for all the positive things it offered.  So if you decide to venture out to Los Angeles, just put on your rose colored glasses.  It will be much easier to acclimate and start enjoying yourself.

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHTER - LAY SCENARIO

Part of EVER AND AFTER EXO Family!AU Serie.

Masterlist.

N/a: Better later than never. May be typos, english is not my first language, please if you see anything that bothers you tell me! :) 

Sometimes, dreams send us to different places.

Your dream is to become an excellent cinematographer

But you never expected that a college project brought you to here. Los Angeles, the city of the stars.

Basically, you work in a cinematography studio, of a famous director who work with production of great movies in Hollywood.

So, you are doing your extension on UCLA, working for a shark of cinematography, living alone and in a good condition. Sometimes you think that you are living in a movie.

But times like these remember you that movies characters don’t have anxiety crises on a party in a mansion on Malibu.

You have these really good friends who take care of you since you moved, that kind of friends that seems like just came out from clueless. Big heart, as big as they bank account. You really love your friends, but they social relations kind of not match with yours.

When you go to party like this you always and up alone on the spot while they are dancing with the first person who pull them. It’s fine, drink for free talk with strangers, but sometimes you just wanted to be in home. Alone.

But home is not an option for Saturday’s evenings. So, you just step outside too look the beach while your heart come down.

When walking in the sand you found someone, this guy was all in black, speaking in a language you cannot speak, just running in circles trying to find something. You didn’t saw him in the party, maybe he was on the neighborhood, or maybe he was just looking for a knife to cut you in half.

Something made you stay, you even gave some steps forward to take a closer look on what was going on, stepping in something hard. When you looked down you saw a phone, it was on and the stranger’s face with other eight men was smiling to you.

Everything made sense when you saw Asian characteristics, so you pic up the phone e called for the man.

You tried to mimic something to him. But he was already holding you by the shoulders, holding you before take the phone from you. The Stranger was beautiful and smelled extremely good.

 “OH GOD, THANKS, YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE!”

 Oh, so the stranger DO speak English.

 He not only speaks English, he speaks a good ass English. Better than yours.

And you two speaked for hours that night.

“Well, my next video I will contact you to be part of the production.”

You don’t remember how the conversation started, but you remember that it ended on Lay rented House in the typical one night stand.

After that day you get yourself into a world that didn't have return. You was so curious about what is Lay in the highlights that now all your friends asking you why you are listen to this “japanese guys” but always end up jump with the bop song in your car.

6 months later and you get attached do Lay. Really you felt in love and hated the fact that you get in this situation for being such a stalker.

You never talked again after that night, even bouth having each other numbers.

Was just two weeks after you finished your extension that you received a call. A job opportunity.

You would be the photography director for Zhang Yixing music video.

You just didn't know that Zhang Yixing was Lay until he entered the room.

“I said that I would call” he said with a smile.

Was a really intensive week. You two worked really well together , and the fact that Yixing take his job so Seriously made you melt even more for his personality.

After that day you two never break contact again.

Yixing felt like he needed to have you around, but didn't knew exactly why.

You two started to be friends who hookup when was together.

And even when he was in China you two created this connection, you could talk for hours and when one of you has two say goodbye, neither of you knew but the smiles was kept for the rest of the day.

Your friends started to called him you “long-distance boyfriend” and his friends called you “the mysterious heart owner”. But you two insisted to live in denial.

So, one day when of your friends said “so, if he is not your boyfriend give the guy from your visual effects a chance.”

He was a handsome and really a great guy, everyone knew that he have a crush on you, he treated you as a princess and nothing was wrong to give him a chance. Only the fact that he wasn't yixing.

And in that moment you realised that you were screw up.

That night you and Yixing had a video call. And you thought to bring your friend idea to see his reaction. He just get a completely poker face and didn't asked for more details as he actually do.

After that days get really errant for the two of you. A movie and a album and a lot of records came between the two of you and you just talked the basic.

And then, one day you came to your house to a Yixing in your door.

And just looking at him made you feel how much you missed him. In no time you came run to him and without thinking you two shared the most meaningful kiss that you had in your life.

The next day, while you two was sharing breakfast in bed, you two had a really serious conversation, about liking each other and don't want to mess with each others life. But you two decided to give it a try.

The long distance relationship works so well with you two that a lot of people question about your love.

But you two know about the love that you share.

You started to experience a lot of things, new places, new countries, new languages, new feelings.

Yixing asking you to move to his loft in LA.

Long periods without each other.

8 months without touching or kissing.

But totally worth after you met again

When you finished your student life you lived with Lay for 6 months, but came back to LA because of work.

Those six months was what gave you two the confirmation that you two born to be together.

When you landed in LA you saw a post in Lay Instagram. Was one old picture of you two when you go to Korean meet his members.

That was written in English, Chinese and Korean “the love of my life”. And it made your heart race because, even have acknowledge the love he feels for you he never said that word.

And even when the world exploded asking for his head in a silver plate. Yixing seemed don't care. He knows they would get used to you somehow.

In fact, they did.

Tribeca Penthouse Once Rented by The Weeknd Now Listed for $27.5M

Will Heath/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images

A plush penthouse in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood rented by The Weeknd is now available to buy, the Real Deal reported. That is, if you have a spare $27.5 million. 

The building is a former a bookbindery built in 1884 by architect Charles Haight, which has been converted into high-end condos, including 45 loft-style homes and eight penthouses. Metroloft and Cetra Ruddy Architects worked together on the conversion, which involved refreshing the facade and updating the interiors. 

Safe haven for celebs

The original character of the property was preserved, and plenty of luxury amenities were added along the way. For celebs, a big incentive comes in the claims that the building is “paparazzi proof.” 

Privacy perks include a drive-in, drive-out garage with valet service, as well as a second lobby for residents to take private elevators. 

Celebs including Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Justin Timberlake,and Jessica Biel, and Jake Gyllenhaal have all reportedly snapped up condos in the private building.

A penthouse with a rooftop pool reportedly owned by Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton earned the title of most expensive new listing when it came on the market for $57 million last year. It’s still available, for a discounted $52 million.

The Weeknd had been renting the triplex since 2018 for $60,000 a month.

Perfect penthouse?

The expansive unit covers three floors, with 5,000 square feet of interior living space and over 1,000 square feet outdoors. It includes four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. 

Entered by a key-locked elevator shared with only two other units, the space features a marble-tiled foyer.

It leads into a sunny great room, with double-height ceilings, exposed beams, and south-facing windows. The focus of this living area is a marble surround fireplace. 

Along with a dining area, the main level also features an en suite bedroom and a windowed office. 

The open chef’s kitchen includes custom wood cabinetry and a large island topped with marble counters and space for seating.

High-end appliances include a Wolf range, dual ovens, a pot filler, a built-in Miele coffee maker, and a 70-bottle wine fridge.

On the second floor are more bedrooms and a den, which could be used as a bedroom.  On the top level, there’s a glass-enclosed game room that opens out to the private roof terrace. 

The outdoor space has more square footage than many New York City apartments and includes a kitchen area with a barbecue, sink, and fridge, as well as speakers, lighting, and a landscaped garden.  

Additional features include wide-plank oak flooring, in-wall iPads to control the central air conditioning, recessed lighting, electric shades, and a Sonos sound system throughout the house. 

Along with a full-time door attendant and concierge, residents of the building enjoy a landscaped courtyard, gym, 75-foot indoor lap pool, and 24/7 door attendants and concierge service.  

In acknowledgment of the current health crisis, the listing description notes that the entire building has recently undergone “extensive cleaning measures, and has implemented protocols to ensure sustained cleanliness.”

The Weeknd on the West Coast

While The Weeknd (born Abel Makkonen Tesfaye) is singing a farewell to his pied-à-terre in New York, he has a couple of housing options in Los Angeles.

The singer, who is known for hits such as “Can’t Feel My Face” and “The Hills,” splurged on a $20 million mansion in Hidden Hills in 2017. The nine-bedroom abode includes a recording studio, wine cellar, home theater, gym, and a pool. 

More recently, the singer picked up a $21 million posh penthouse in the Beverly West tower in Westwood, one of the highest-priced condo sales ever recorded in the L.A. area.  

The Weeknd has certainly “Earned It.”  The three-time Grammy winner is one of Canada’s most successful recording artists. He founded the record label XO, and has branched out into business ventures in fashion and esports. 

Tal Alexander, Oren Alexander, and Jared Schwadron of the Alexander Team at Douglas Elliman hold the Tribeca listing.

Downtown Residents Are Eating Up Eighth Street

Josh Gray-Emmer grew up in the Valley. When he found himself in a bad living situation with roommates, he packed up all his stuff and landed in an old friend's downtown loft on Spring Street the next day. He had no intention of staying; his boxes sat unpacked in the corner.

"There was absolutely no way I was going to stay downtown in the 'hood," Gray-Emmer tells L.A. Weekly from his current penthouse overlooking the historic core.

"I immediately started looking for other houses in the Valley. I didn't unpack my boxes for seven months."

He slowly discovered that he could be himself downtown. He entertained friends at his loft parties and nobody would bug him.

"The most important thing that changed my mind about downtown Los Angeles was it was that true picket-fence community that I was looking for," Gray-Emmer says. "We left our loft doors open. We would borrow cups of sugar from each other. The things that you would expect from the suburbs, where the neighbors know each other and hang out together, I never experienced in the Valley. I only saw that on television." He finally unpacked, made himself at home and never looked back.

That was 17 years ago, and he hasn't left Spring Street. He started in a $1,600-a-month, 2,200-square-foot loft at Fourth and Spring, and now overlooks the city from his penthouse in a restored historic building between Sixth and Seventh streets.

But the living wasn't always easy, starting with grocery shopping.

"I remember when I first moved down here, I had to drive to Silver Lake to shop at the Ralphs and the Trader Joe's over there," he says. "So when the Ralphs finally came to downtown L.A., it became a tipping point that started to bring more people here. It was a significant differentiator to have a big grocery chain downtown. I think that people are still thinking of downtown Los Angeles as a destination, but there are 65,000 of us who live down here and we need to eat every day."

The next big vote of downtown confidence came when Whole Foods planted a store at Eighth and Grand Avenue, which triggered a boom of restaurants for local residents, including Sweetgreen, Paris Baguette, Shake Shack, Starbucks Reserve, Cassell's Burgers and Modern Times, to name a few. The location made sense because of the proximity to thousands of new residences there.

Tocaya Organica

A new Tocaya Organica downtown space opens in early 2019 and will be unique from the others across the city. It will be the first location with a separate and dedicated bar space and cocktail program. A stand-alone bar area is meant to cater to the single diner, those grabbing a quick after-work meal, happy hour guests. It will be the first Tocaya with TVs behind the bar showing news and sporting events to help provide a gathering spot for neighbors.

"We specifically chose our location at the Atelier because we loved the design aesthetic of the building," Tocaya co-founder Tosh Berman tells L.A. Weekly. "It represents a crown jewel in the residential landscape of the area. We have a corner location, offering us high visibility, and we're close to fitness and grocery concepts that coalesce well with Tocaya Organica.

"What we found missing downtown were great restaurants that were relatively quick and easy — no reservations, fast-casual ordering process, and affordable with high-quality food in a beautiful setting," Berman says.

Sweetgreen aims to blend in with the neighborhood as well. The new store is a representation of L.A.'s local artists and vendors, with furniture by Silver Lake's RAD Furniture and the patio lighting by Brendan Ravenhill Studio in Northeast L.A.

"Our 8th + Hill store champions those special items handmade by local artisans, celebrating and supporting the community," says Nicolas Jammet, Sweetgreen co-founder and chief concept officer.

"We're also proud of the large-scale mural being painted on the exterior of the building, which wraps down and continues through the interior of the store. We partnered with DTLA-based Art Share and local artist Katy Ann Gilmore for the defining piece."

Josh Gray-Emmer's DTLA Dinner Club

Brandon Tyler Williams/Oak Giant Photography

Gray-Emmer's company, BridGE DTLA, provides community engagement services for developers and connects neighbors with one another. For eight years he has hosted the DTLA Dinner Club, which helps bring the downtown community together on Wednesdays for free pop-up dinners featuring some of L.A.'s best chefs.

"You really have to match your price point to what the neighborhood can afford," Gray-Emmer says. "People who live downtown might have a larger amount of disposable income but a larger percentage of where that money goes is rent, or mortgage.

"I would like to see more affordable and diverse options that give me a filling meal for about 10 bucks. As a resident just walking up and down the block at 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening and I haven't had time to make dinner, I want to stop someplace and spend 10 bucks on a bite to eat. My options can be limited, so I'd like to see more places in that price range, and lots of downtown L.A. residents feel the same way. They'd be regular patrons at many spots if they were more affordable."

Like many downtowners, Gray-Emmer doesn't own a car. He walks to Whole Foods, Ralphs or Smart & Final, does his grocery shopping and then Ubers home for about $3 or $4. He says it's incredibly easy and more efficient and affordable than owning a car.

"I did the math, and there's absolutely no way I get even close with Ubering wherever and whenever I want, to what a car would cost me with insurance, gas, car payment and downtown parking costs," he says.

"I'm really excited to see more diversity in restaurants downtown," Gray-Emmer adds. "We need more than just destination hot spots — which are incredible and very welcome, and we never get tired of — but it's good to see a new, diverse group of spots opening up that offers residents affordable fare where we can become regulars. I can't wait for Silverlake Ramen to open, and hope for a good Indian restaurant soon."

Why it’s becoming cool to live in your car—or a 150-sq. ft. apartment

Jessica Mendoza, The Christian Science Monitor, August 21, 2017

SEATTLE; AND LOS ANGELES--When Shawna Nelson leaves her office in Seattle’s suburbs, she does what 28-year-olds often do: dines with friends, goes out dancing, or sees a show. Sometimes she hits her swanky gym.

But at the end of the night Ms. Nelson always returns to Dora, the dusty Ford Explorer she calls home. In the back, where a row of seats should be, lies a foam mattress covered with fuzzy animal-print blankets. Nelson keeps a headlamp handy for when she wants to read before bed. Then, once she’s sure she won’t get ticketed or towed, she turns in for the night.

“I still strive to have some sort of routine,” says Nelson, who started living in her car about a year ago. “Would I rather spend $1,200 on an apartment that I’m probably not going to be at very much, or would I rather spend $1,200 a month on traveling?”

For her, it was an easy choice.

She’s not alone. As housing costs soar, US communities have faced ballooning homelessness, declining homeownership, and tensions over gentrification. But the rising expense of homes, when combined with the demographic, cultural, and technological trends of the past decade, has also prompted a more positive phenomenon: smaller, leaner living. This conscious shift, mainly among portions of the middle and upper classes, springs from a desire to live more fully with less.

For some it means choosing tiny homes and “micro-apartments”--typically less than 350 square feet--for the chance to live affordably in vibrant neighborhoods. For others, like Nelson, it means hitting the road in a truck or van, communing with nature and like-minded people along the way. Proponents range in ages and backgrounds, but they all share a renewed thirst for alternatives to traditional lifestyles like single-family homes, long cherished as a symbol of the American dream.

“I think fundamentally it comes down to a shift in perception about the pursuit of happiness--how it doesn’t require a consumerist lifestyle or collection of stuff,” says Jay Janette, a Seattle architect whose firm has designed a number of micro-housing developments in the city. “They’re not really living in their spaces, they’re living in their city.”

John Infranca, a law professor at Boston’s Suffolk University who specializes in urban law and policy, says the phenomenon is driven largely by Millennials, who have been the faces of both the affordable housing crisis and the shift to minimalism.

Research shows that the 18-to-35 cohort continues to rent at higher rates than previous generations: 74 percent lived in a rental property in 2016, compared to 62 percent of Gen Xers in 2000, according to the Pew Research Center. And while the Millennial desire to not buy homes tends to be overstated--studies suggest many want to own, but often can’t afford to--they do prioritize experiences over stuff.

They aren’t the only ones. Spending on experiences like food, travel, and recreation is up for all consumers, making up more than 20 percent of Americans’ consumption expenses in 2015. (In contrast, the share for spending on household goods and cars was in the single digits.) Baby-boomer parents, downsizing as they enter retirement, find that their grown children are uninterested in inheriting their hoards of Hummels and Thomas Kinkade paintings. The same “live with less” logic has begun to extend beyond stuff to the spaces these older adults occupy.

“There is some cultural demand for simpler living,” says Professor Infranca. “And by virtue of technology, we are able to live with a lot less.”

It’s a distinct moment for a culture that has long placed a premium on individual ownership and a ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ mentality, Mr. Janette and others say.

“I think the recession changed the playing field for a lot of people,” notes Sofia Borges, an architect, trend consultant, and lecturer at the University of Southern California. “Job security, homeownership--a lot of that went out the window and never really returned. When a change like that happens, you have to change your ideas a little bit too.”

That was certainly the case for Kim Henderson, who was a marketing manager making more than $80,000 a year before the recession. “I never again found a job like I had [before 2008],” says Ms. Henderson, now in her 50s. “When they were available, they went to younger people.”

Today Henderson makes about $37,000 a year as an executive assistant to a bar owner and lives in the Bristol Hotel, a mixed-use apartment building in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Her studio, which she shares with her small dog Olive, is 175 square feet--the equivalent of about four king-size beds. The walls are covered in framed artwork that Henderson collected from thrift shops and friends. An apartment-sized fridge and a fold-out couch are her largest possessions.

“It’s the same exact lifestyle [I used to live], just with less things”--and more money in her pocket, she says.

Henderson pays $685 a month including electricity--a bargain for Los Angeles, where studios average $1,500. She can save money and still have enough disposable income to eat out and travel, she says. But at least as important is the sense of liberation. “There’s an energy you get from purging,” Henderson says. “You don’t need six towels. You don’t need a ton of dishes. You pick the things out that you really want to keep in the ‘useful’ category.”

The sentiment is in keeping with a growing culture of minimalism. Marie Kondo’s “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” which urges people to keep only those things that “spark joy,” has sold 1.5 million copies in the US alone. Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, also known as The Minimalists, have also helped take the notion mainstream with a podcast, website, bestselling books, and documentaries.

There are other forces at play, too. Digital access to resources makes living lean more feasible, says Infranca at Suffolk. Henderson, for instance, doesn’t own a car, relying instead on ride-sharing services or her own two feet to get around. And because she lives downtown she’s closer to the amenities and establishments she loves.

“It’s a value proposition,” says David Neiman, whose Seattle design firm focuses on small-efficiency dwelling units, which start at 150 square feet. “I could live for the same price in a central location in housing that’s clean, has internet, and I can walk to work and exciting things. Or I can live farther away, have more space, and it’s in a secondary neighborhood and I have to drive.”

Instead of renting a micro-unit in an urban center, filmmakers Alexis Stephens and Christian Parsons decided two years ago to build their own 130-square foot house and load it onto the bed of a U-Haul. They then set off across the country in a bid to live more simply and sustainably, travel, and invest in their own place--all while documenting the experience.

The Tiny House Expedition has since become a thriving enterprise. Ms. Stephens and Mr. Parsons have interviewed tiny house advocates and dwellers across 30,000 miles and 29 states. At a sustainability festival outside Seattle in July, they sold T-shirts and copies of the book “Turning Tiny,” a collection of essays they contributed to. They gave tours of their home. And they answered questions about building and living in a tiny house, touting its potential as an affordable, sustainable, and high-quality alternative lifestyle.

“People are empowering themselves to build housing options that work for them that are not available in the market,” Stephens says.

Tiny homes can range from about 100 to 300 square feet and cost between $25,000 to $100,000, give or take. Stephens and Parsons built theirs using reclaimed material for about $20,000, and it comes with a loft for a queen-sized bed, a compost toilet, walls that double as storage, and shelves that turn into tables. For those with more lavish tastes, vendors like Seattle Tiny Homes offer customizable houses--complete with a shower and a washer and dryer--for about $85,000.

“You aren’t downgrading from a traditional home,” says founder Sharon Read. “It can have everything you want and nothing you don’t want.”

Those who would rather not lug around a whole house while they travel, however, have turned to another alternative: #vanlife. The term was coined in 2011 by Foster Huntington, a former Ralph Lauren designer who gave up his life in New York City to surf the California coast, living and traveling in a 1987 Volkswagen Syncro. His photos, which he posted on Instagram and later compiled in a $65 book titled, “Home Is Where You Park It,” launched what The New Yorker dubbed a “Bohemian social-media movement.”

The hashtag has since been used more than a million times on Instagram. “Vanlifers” drive everything from cargo vans to SUVs, though the Volkswagen Vanagon remains the classic choice.

“It’s definitely found a renewed zeitgeist,” says Jad Josey, general manager at GoWesty, a Southern California-based vendor of Volkswagen van parts. “The fact that you can be really compact and mobile and almost 100 percent self-sufficient in a Vanagon is really attractive to people.”

People like freelance photographer Aidan Klimenko, who has been living off and on in vans and SUVs for three years, traversing the US and South America.

“The idea of working so hard to pay rent--which ultimately, that’s just money down the drain--is such a hard concept for me,” says Mr. Klimenko. Vanlife, he adds, “is access to the outdoors and it’s movement. I’m addicted to traveling. I’m addicted to being in new places and meeting new people and waking up outside.”

Still, the movement to live smaller may not be as extensive as social media makes it seem, some housing analysts say. Zoning regulations--especially in dense urban areas--often restrict the number and size of buildable units, slowing growth among micro-apartments and tiny homes. Constructing or living in a tiny home or micro-unit can still pose a legal risk in some cities.

And by and large, Americans continue to value size. The average new home built in the US in 2015 was a record 2,687 square feet--1,000 square feet larger than in 1973, according to the American Enterprise Institute in Washington.

Living mobile isn’t all grand adventures and scenic views, either. Van dwellers say they’ve had to contend with engine trouble, the cold and the heat, and unpleasant public restrooms. And Henderson in Los Angeles says she once lived in an affordable micro-housing development that had a pervasive drug-dealing problem.

Still, those who have embraced leaner living say what they might lose in creature comforts, they gain in perspective and experience. In crisscrossing the country, Stephens and Parsons opened themselves up to the kindness of strangers. “It’s a nice reminder that as Americans we have so much more in common than we realize,” Stephens says. They also spend more time connecting with others, instead of closeting themselves at home.

“Whether you’re choosing a van, a school bus, a tiny house, or a micro-apartment, you get a lot of the same benefits,” she says. “We need more housing options, period, in America. We’ve boxed ourselves in a very monolithic housing culture. We’re showing it’s OK to venture outside of that.”

Chris Martin on Breaking the Rules of Painting in the 1980s

Of all the celestial bodies in our Milky Way, Chris Martin loves Saturn best. Staring down at the floor of his Williamsburg studio—a former florist’s freezer that he’s occupied since the mid-1980s—we inspected the computer printouts of the planet that he’d glued onto an unfinished painting before us. Sure, he admires its spectral rings, but Martin’s fascination with Saturn can be, like many other things, traced back to the death of his musical obsession, Amy Winehouse.

Martin recalled the series of paintings he began in 2007 featuring images of the late pop star superimposed with talismanic signs from various cultures. Her induction, by overdose, into the dreaded 27 Club in 2011 left Martin with a twinge of superstitious resignation: “Obviously my paintings didn’t protect her,” he sighed.

Winehouse’s tragic death led Martin to fixate on the number 27. Horoscope readers (including the artist) recognize a moment astrologers call the “Saturn return”—when the planet, during its orbit around the sun, comes back to meet one’s natal Saturn, a process that traditionally starts at, yes, age 27. The Saturn return is, for many, considered a moment of reckoning—or in this case, a neat syllogism for the fated, cyclical tide of youthful promise cut short.

Martin’s current show of old work, “The Eighties,” at David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles through April 27th, prompted the prolific—and, today, commercially and critically successful—artist to reflect on his own Halcyon days in Brooklyn during that decade. Then in his twenties and early thirties, he was scrapping around the same neighborhood, still figuring himself out.

Preparing for the show—which presents rarely (if ever) exhibited works Martin created years before his first art-world accolades—had its emotional pitfalls. “I guess I’m a middle-aged artist now,” he bemoaned. “The difficult part of looking at the ’80s and the old work is that it’s old, apparently, which must mean that I am old.”

Martin is 65 now. Yet in personality and verve, he’s a young man, an exceptionally unfenced person who continues to thrive and find inspiration in the stimulating artist communities in Brooklyn and the vivacity of younger peers in the area, some of whom work in his studio as assistants.

“Excavating” these long-lost experiments from the crowded storage racks in his studio prompted Martin to confront the difficult-to-pin-down ethos of what makes a “Chris Martin painting.” This was a particularly complicated task, considering the breadth of his largely abstract work, which references spiritual influences like Buddhism and the cosmos, as well as pop culture and music. He also incorporates an unusual range of materials (glitter, spray paint, newspapers) into his paintings, including whatever he finds around his workspace.

Contemplating these older works, some of which are characteristically monumental in size, others uncharacteristically tiny, clarified an arc of his career, and conjured for Martin the obsessions and interests that consumed him then (street art, prophetic dreams, performance) and those that have carried on through the years (spiritualism, the Catskills, music).

It was in the 1980s, however, that many—if not the most essential—aspects of his current approach were born. Forced to contend with the rigid, dominant modes of art at the time (namely Conceptualism and Minimalism), Martin emerged on the opposite end of the ’80s as an open-minded maximalist. In the previous decade, purists like Donald Judd and Richard Serra had declared painting flat dead, and had “this kind of railroad track idea that they had made the work that needed to be made, according to some art-historical inevitability.”

Many painters of Martin’s generation “made the same painting over and over again,” he said. “The feeling was that if you believed in painting a circle, that you would paint circles, because you knew what you believed in. If you made good paintings of circles, how could you paint a duck? If you believed in circles, you wouldn’t believe in ducks.” After some trial and error, the inquisitive-minded young Martin, of course, pursued his own route entirely.

In his early years, Martin explained, he was heavily invested in a kind of “masterpiece syndrome.” He wanted to make great works of art, but “the thing about wanting to make a masterpiece is that you’re very conscious of wanting to put everything into one painting,” he said. He certainly tried—several works from the late 1970s and early ’80s are caked in inches of paint.

Yet he also dabbled in painting as performance art, with works that seem truly cringeworthy today. For an initiative called Hit and Run Theater, audiences were asked to meet Martin and his cohort of collaborators on a subway platform or in an abandoned lot. Martin would make paintings in front of the crowds, and, despite being a “terrible singer,” croon and recite poetry. The transient nature of these works—and the intensity of their preparation—led Martin to realize that he was meant to focus only on painting.

During the early part of the 1980s, it was his discovery of German conceptual artists—especially the abject humor and wild reference points of Sigmar Polke—that liberated Martin to abandon this syndrome and “open myself to where the painting would go, and also open myself to a different identity,” he said. Distinctions between abstraction and figuration, high and low, became increasingly meaningless. “The temple of art has to be ironic if you have something popular that comes into it,” he railed, “and I hate that. That’s such a terrible lack of spirit.”

Gradually, Martin’s high-minded separation between “art” and “not-art” started thinning. He took in the explosion of street art and came to admire Jean-Michel Basquiat (another member of the 27 Club). He envied Basquiat’s ability to take whatever he was interested in and incorporate it straight into his work.

Martin began to see everything around him as fair game for his art. His studio floor was covered with newspapers he used to sop up paint, and aluminum foil he used to cover buckets. “It was covered with all this junk,” he recalled, “and I started thinking, well, ‘Why does this go in the trash and it doesn’t go on a painting?’”

In the later part of the decade, Martin made several oil and acrylic paintings on tin foil. “The actual act of spreading oil paint on this smooth metal surface was thrilling and different,” he remembered fondly. “I could wipe it off. It was really fun and also a little bit scary, but very exciting.” To hear Martin discuss the excitement of trying out a new material, a new technique, even 40 years later, is to listen to someone who still believes in play.

When he first began to approach his works with this kind of openness, Martin explained, it allowed him to accept “things that don’t make any sense.” Perhaps he was looking for orange paint but couldn’t find it; he simply used red instead. He began to allow what others might have considered mistakes to be a vital part of his art. If unwanted paint accidentally dripped on his canvas, the work was not ruined—it was just different. “You give yourself over to the process,” he said. “Then if you can suspend the judgment and say, ‘I don’t know what I just did,’ you can go somewhere new.”

It was precisely his location in the outer reaches of Brooklyn, away from the commercial art world, that enabled Martin to take this experimental approach. The 1980s Brooklyn scene seems to have been the perfect playground for the artist. “I had a lot of people in and out of the studio, and I went to their studios, and we went to weird clubs, and we hung up paintings on the street,” he remembered. “There’s a certain freedom when your audience is your peers,” he added.

One peer whose influence on Martin is perhaps still underrecognized is the painter Katherine Bradford, a fellow mad colorist with whom he rented—for a mere $650 a month—a loft building in Williamsburg between 1980 and 1984. During their time working side-by-side, they served as sounding boards for each other’s work, even stepping in to finish the other’s painting at times. “If either one of us had a painting that was going badly,” Martin said, “we would leave it outside the other person’s studio door” to work on. The pair are still friends, and though they no longer collaborate, they continue to hold studio visits.

The fraternal nature of this nascent artist community fueled Martin’s creative ambition in a neighborhood that was not too long ago considered peripheral to the mainstream New York art world. It was also this early group of “settlers” in the historically working-class Polish, Italian, and Hispanic area of Williamsburg that helped transform the area into the vital—and deeply gentrified—art hub that it is today. “I remember when Kasia’s, the local restaurant on Bedford Avenue, got a salad,” Martin said. There were so many artists requesting a salad on the menu, that when the restaurant finally added one, “it was called the ‘art salad,’ just lettuce and tomatoes, probably,” he laughed.

Yet some of his exploits back then resonate with the DIY approach and unconventional exhibitions that still characterize the neighborhood. In one very 21st-century anecdote, Martin recalled curating an exhibition in a local pizza shop, with works by friends like Fred Tomaselli, Thomas Nozkowski, Bill Jensen, Bradford, Peter Acheson, Phong Bui, Rick Briggs, and Joyce Pensato. He remembers it fondly: “It was a great show, I’ve got to say.”

By the late 1980s, at the height of the AIDS crisis, Martin developed an interest in “outsider” art. He pursued a career in art therapy, in part to meet people without formal artistic training, but who, nevertheless, “were able to make paintings—great paintings—that were very direct,” he said. The experience was “a wake-up call.” Martin realized that what his work needed “was openness and a belief in doing the thing.”

During his art therapy sessions, Martin discovered the myriad joys of glitter—a material that enlivens many of his most recent paintings. He loves “everything that everybody likes about” glitter, especially that “it’s a great mess.” (His studio is a beautiful, splintering color field of lost glitter shards—in the paintings; in rugs on the floor—on every surface.) Being an art therapist also led Martin to recognize that everyone, artists and non-artists alike, faces the same fear when approaching a work. “They don’t want to embarrass themselves by making a bad painting,” he realized. Ultimately, he said, “one finds courage by acknowledging exactly all those fears.”

Martin always enters his studio without preconception, and with a mission to enjoy himself. If he finds himself not having fun in the studio, feeling bored, or struggling with a physical task, he steps back and asks himself: “Okay, Chris, what is going to be more fun? What’s going to be more exciting? What gives me joy to do?” Doing this, he explained, is an important way to gauge “whether you can be paying attention and be really there, really alive.”

This process of self-discovery has never left Martin, and is perhaps the key ingredient to his success—commercially, but more importantly, as an artist continually engaged with and committed to pushing his work forward. Asked what advice he’d offer to the younger, 1980s version of Chris Martin, he replied: “I guess if I went back to my old self, I’d just give myself a hug and say, ‘Relax, kid, it’s gonna be alright.’”

How I podcast: Bullseye’s Jesse Thorn

The beauty of podcasting is that anyone can do it. It’s a rare medium that’s nearly as easy to make as it is to consume. And as such, no two people do it exactly the same way. There are a wealth of hardware and software solutions open to potential podcasters, so setups run the gamut from NPR studios to USB Skype rigs.

We’ve asked some of our favorite podcast hosts and producers to highlight their workflows — the equipment and software they use to get the job done. The list so far includes:

Ben Lindbergh of Effectively Wild My own podcast, RiYL

For week three, I’ve asked my longtime friend and professional podcaster, Jesse Thorn, to share his thoughts. “America’s Radio Sweetheart” is the host of several long-running shows, including NPR’s Bullseye and the comedy podcast, Jordan Jesse Go. He’s also the owner and proprietor of Los Angeles-based podcasting network Maximum Fun, which hosts a ridiculous number of shows, including Judge John Hodgman, My Brother, My Brother and Me and Oh No, Ross and Carrie.

He’s highlighted his unique setup with a requisite side order of Hyphy.

I bought this recording booth on Craigslist. For years, I recorded in my house, and walls lined with books and lots of soft furniture were enough to make my recordings sound passable, but then my wife told me to get an office. The intern in our living room kept waking up the baby.

The office is in a concrete loft building, very unforgiving for sound, so I ended up in a guy’s backyard in Harvard Heights, in central LA [checking out this booth]. He was a huge Samoan dude who’d run a Pacific Islander R&B label until his business partner went on tour as Justin Bieber’s vocal coach. I bought it for three grand, hired a guy with a van to bring it to the office and set it up, and we were in business.

Guests often comment on the booth — the spectrum runs from, “this is a little low-rent” to “what am I, in one of the Saw movies?” Honestly I think that helps keep our conversations human. It’s not quite soundproof; one of our producers is a particularly loud laugher and he ends up on the tape a lot. But honestly I kind of love it.
