I’m visiting LA for the winter from Europe, and
curious where to go/what to do to meet film industry people as well and creatives - last time I was there, I just didn’t feel like it had the effortless/organic social groove the way many other cosmopolitan cities do, and I’d like to actually meet people and a sink into the city a bit more this time rather than drifting like an outsider ghost 😅 I guess I am looking for more specifics rather than “west hollywood vs arts district”.

Really appreciate any advice. Thank you 🙏

I had a pretty valuable package “arrive” today from Hermes. On their tracking website it says “delivered to a neighbor”. On the site I ordered from it says “signature signed”.

Absolutely NO info as to who they delivered it to. Problem is, as with many buildings in Germany, there are three buildings in this address. Tried knocking on the doors of 1st and 2nd floor neighbors of all
3 buildings, and no one said they have it. There is no note in my mailbox from Hermes either.

I’ve lived all over the world and have to say Berlin is the worst for mail… I just spent 3 hours doing everything I could do to chase down a package that no i don’t want delivered to a neighbors haus… what to do? 😭😭😭😭

Wondering if you have some suggestions for how I can get background extra work? Do you really have to scroll every day on actors access etc just to maybe get a gig as an extra? In the Uk there are sites and agencies specifically for background work, so I was wondering if more alternatives exist like that in LA. Thanks !

EDIT: Title is supposed to read “INFJ or INFP” 😭

There’s been a lot of speculation on whether David Lynch is and INFJ or INfp- curious what you think ?

I am also a director/filmmaker (infj) who, like him, builds very estranged and uncanny worlds, romanticizes liminal spaces, gets “flashes of creative inspiration”, and leads a life of much solitude, with a kind of monk like atmosphere. Him and I also both seem to gravitate toward LA for the same reason - not because of the social sphere, but rather something about the space and the land lends for a liminal dreamscape to creat out of (i actually didn’t know he felt the same way about LA until i told this to a friend and they told me lynch always used to talk about la in the same way).

However, I find my word is often even more laden with symbolize, archetypes, and speaks to global/psychological/societal patterns — everything serves a deliberate purpose, which is very INFJ. It’s possible his does as well, but I do sometimes wonder if everything in his work has a rhyme or reason, or if some things were more just- for the sake of the dream and bizarre.

What do you think ?

For anyone working in those industries ^^. How is Berlin treating you, and do you feel Berlin helps or hinders your progress in those careers ?

I’m starting to think there wasn’t a point to this. I feel worse. Things that haven’t improved after 3 months:

1. skin hasn’t improved
2. hormones and cycle hasn’t improved
3. energy levels haven’t improved
4. still got a bit sick when flying to europe
5. still a crazy night owl
6. still me
7. still mucousy/have post nasal drip (no idea why as i eat wel)
8. still feeling dry unless in a humid/oceany climate

things that have gotten worse:
brain fog
motivation
more breathless when i do exercise now
in my opinion i don’t look as good

Hey does anyone have any recommendations for spacious places to work on creative work ? on my computer. Somwhere that’s pretty/pleasant/inspiring, not overcrowded and over stimulated, has space and doesn’t smell like stale smoke?

outdoor seating would be ideal!

ideally in prenslauer, friedrichshain , mitte

danke!

…Copied the hell out of Madonna’s tour, for her eusexua tour 😱😱 I could already hear the madonna influence in her recent songs and some things from her performances, but holy moly when I saw the doc, it was too on the nose to deny. From the bed to the riding the dancers dommey style and beyond.

Edit: If you all want to defend a girl ripping her tour off another artist without mentioning it, go for it. I don’t stand by that. I think it’s incredibly lame and unnecessary. You all just sound like you’d blindly defend her if she killed a guy, honestly. Copying and inspiration are not synonymous and I stand by it.

This popped up on my algorithm and I got pulled in. Crazy transformations, and I somehow feel vicarious liberation for you all. Also I just dated a fully bald (with a beard) man in his 40s and we had great chemistry ;)

Where did he go???
