A sprawling hillside cemetery park with so much to do, you could really spend all day here. It’s the most beautiful cemetery I’ve ever been to. It has a huge stained glass window rendition of The Last Supper, a museum of ever-changing art exhibitions, and an absolutely gorgeous view of Glendale. But the highlight for me is The Hall of Crucifixion. It was built to house a painting that’s approx the size of a football field depicting Christ moments before the crucifixion. The size and beauty of it all cannot be understated.

hanging out at cemeteries,… thankful to grow up in a city with the most beautiful cemetery of all, mountain view cemetery. when I was a child my mom was a photographer and we would spend all of our Sundays at a specific grave of a stranger who had a large carved angel on top of their gravestone and my mom would photograph it and I would sit under it for hours n hours

A lot of art is degenerate and we shouldn’t be afraid to say so.

You feel like Mother Theresa. But if you got them sick you feel like the woman from Phantom Thread.

I take a drive from my house into Griffith Park, entering via Vermont. I drive past the Greek, up the hill to the Observatory, down through Fern Dell, then I get onto Los Feliz and come back home. I do this whenever I’m happy, sad, ecstatic, suicidal, or am feeling the need to celebrate something. I will often stop at the 7-11 for a Celsius beforehand and drink it on the loop. Less frequently, I’ll put my car in neutral at the top of the hill and see how far I can get down without shifting into drive.
