My musicican friends
A decently paying job that allows me to spend money on my art projects

hmmm...thinking seriously about graduate school.

perfect program.
perfect school.
unperfect location.

i'd have to move. to a different state. i *heart* california and have no desire to live anywhere else. this is my home.

yes. i could always come back.
but things don't always turn out that way.

very scarey. surreal

what do you think? what kind of big sacrifices have you made to be on...

Ultimately I think if you really excited about the program, you will love it. Colorado is a beautiful place, and it's only a couple of years, right? I say go for it, but I know you will miss the Bay Area!!!

my w(h)ine was not getting better with age, so...

i'm feeling (thinking?) a little better. still mulling it all over, but not avalanching anymore. i think one of the biggest issues is that within the last 6 months, friends have moved away and dynamics with relationships have changed, so i'm finding myself more isolated. isolation bad. isolation make the little hamster in tigerlily's head run...

yea! I like when the world around you can show you something about yourself you've forgotten or at least give you a warm fuzzy when you are feeling down smile

I hear ya on the hamster. I've recently opened the windows a bit and I'm hoping my brain doesn't get all worked up. at least not in a bad way. I'm hoping some things that were not visible through the smoke are able to come back to the surface and play w/ me blush

i like those rocks too. there was someone that always did them by the alameda ferry. It gave it an otherworldy feel, since they seemed to be there of their own accord or at least defying gravity. shocked (thanks for the memory I had forgotten them)

pet leo for me

I spent the weekend working on the house...specifically putting up a wooden fence with my Dad....it's good to spend some quality time with the old man. Other than that, I'm being a sci-fi geek and celebrating the 40th anniversary of Doctor Who and working on my website (which will be launched in January)...

(i was lost,...

Italia, que bella. My favorite place in the world. AND Venice. La Serenissima. The Serene Republic. The most profoundly melancholy yet beautiful place on earth. The ghosts of glories past still wander the alleys and canals. I feel the need to buy a ticket.
