I'm not in love, but it's at least a crush. Her name is Sheila. She's a motel room.
This is how it's been today:
Woke up in a small town in the mountains.
Looked out at the ridges, watched the vultures turn on the updrafts, and the ravens stand as monitors on snags in the park.
There is a paucity of things in this land lately. It's all been overdone.
Got to Eureka, walked it. There's new construction there, along with yuppies and...

I keep stopping to look at things and take pictures, but I got out of Sac at about six and now I'm in Garberville. Sitting on a sidewalk getting hooked up wirlessly. How very modern of me.
The stars are out up here, as opposed to the valley.
It's always a litle sad to check into a motel by yourself, but it beats sleeping in...

Very nice...I love photography but I haven't had a chance to really pursuit it...I would love to travel around taking pics of the beautiful and the not so beautiful...
I live in Reno if you are ever near here and want to set up a photo session...

I think I would like staying in a motel by myself. I've actually been thinking of taking a vacation all by myself. Possibly to Las Vegas.
"the phenomena of nature are more splendid than the actual events of nature."
Gertrude Stein.
Know what I mean?
I had never seen Waiting For Godot before last sunday.
I don't think it was a very great production, but it was fair.
I have to admit I fell asleep toward the end.
Probably owing to smoking weed beforehand, then having a steak and egg lunch...

Right on!
Sometimes I become scattered and fractious. For instance, deciding whether to go over and buy a pound of coffee, or rent a car and drive to Seattle. Which is the better idea?
At any given time, either one, obviously. Timing is everything.
The best things about the newspaper class is the amount of joking around that happens there. The people are mostly pretty smart and...

I think driving is always the better idea. It's like being alone in a bathroom: perfect atmosphere for meditation and being alone with oneself. Yesterday my boyfriend and I almost broke up. I went out for gas and cigarettes, then just drove around for awhile, listening to Fiona Apple sing "Across the Universe" really loud while my cigarette hung out the window, just thinking thoughts, with nothing to stop me. I wonder how many lives aimless driving has saved. Though I did slit my wrists at a red light once. Sometimes traffic is just an inconvenience.

Today is page design day. It's actually the best reason I have for not being out there somewhere. It's a good skill to have.
so I hang around and do my page every week.
But there's no paper next week so this is my chance to go.
I think I'm going to rent a car. Trains are fun but they kind of limit your mobility,...

I hate meeting people when they are drunk...its hard to tell what they are really like.
Have a great trip looking forward to hearing about it.

I need to quit going to the Cavern.
In fact I might take a trip this weekend and leave all the conflicted people I know around here to stew among themselves.
You may remember the talkative girl I see down there sometimes. The one with the cat.
Tonight, she wrote me a poem on a napkin. Not a good poems, mind you, but a poem....

Yeah, but the problem is that it is hard for me to tear something to shreds when it's not really BAD, I just can't stand the style. You know, like ripping Shakespeare to shreds because you just don't like iambic pentameter.
Ok. bad example. But you know what I mean. Music is so subjective. Someone can be a great musician and just not get me going, or annoy the shit out of me. For example, I hate Radiohead. Everybody else in the goddamn world seems to think they're brilliant. It makes me want to stab myself. But that's obviously my opinion, not because they're actually bad. Whereas poets are quite often, in fact, terrible. It's why I no longer write poetry.

That song was pretty lame. I have a hard time with lyrics that don't just seem corny.
I hate corny.
Yet I want to write a song that gypsy girl can sing.
What could be nicer than hearing your own words wafting about the room, sung in the high registers?

I've been trying to write a song for gypsy girl to sing. So far, this is all I have managed.
I'm not completely satisifed with some of the lines, but I think you'll get the idea.
just a little pleasure as I pass
It's a long cold time when you pass it in your pain
and the slowest hour is one you live alone

Aww. My roomie just wrote a song for us to duet on.
If you leave orange juice in the fridge too long it produces a mildly acoholic concoction not unpleasant to drink.
Or maybe I should say, If you leave it long enough.
Eventually, I shall cover the walls of my cave-like abode entirely with art I've been making lately. Then it will no longer be apparent that the place needs a paint job.
I'll stand on...
