I spent yesterday, all day, in my little room. It was quite an indulgence, spending the day doing small things that are forever being out off until later. I patched my jeans. I tidied. I can't even quite remember how it was I spent the time, but I know I was busy all day. Very satisfying.
Today I had my weekly day at the desk of the devil. In the spirit of fresh starts I cycled in to the office, having not been on my bike for quite some time. If I had been cycling more recently I might have known that the skirt I chose to wear today was too short for cycling. Especially with stockings and suspenders. So I had quite an uncomfortable journey and return, trying to keep my bike moving and not show everyone my lunch at the same time.
I'm off again this weekend. Firstly to visit my cousin whom I have not seen since I was 12. She now lives in a small and isolated town in the far north of England. I'm only there for one night, I think it will be spent in true English fashion, at the pub.
After that I'm going to Lockerbie in Scotland for a meditation retreat. I am a bloody great hippy. I'll probably be quite stoned at the end of it, not through smoking, but 2 days of meditation can leave you feeling a little woozy.

how are you??
while i await your reply i will entertain you with this bit of utterly useless trivia seeing as how you love the 101:
i have located the actual frontline of america's religious war - and i am here to tell you, my dear celeste, that it lies verily along the 101 itself, somewhere near canoga ave...
as it happens, my beloved kxlu, the unfortunate subject of a brief rant in my journal some weeks ago but truly the last independent venue for underground music in this accursed burg and as such the love of my life nonetheless, does valiantly clash at the frequency of 88.9 fm with some creepy right-wing christian station somewhere in the valley! as i travelled along the 101 thursday night i witnessed mortal struggle between kxlu's most excellent weekly jamaican show, and some preacher speaking on the "evil of the gaze" with regard to virgins - in those moments where the preacher had control of the frequency i knew for certaiin that i was behind enemy lines, vulnerable, perhaps entirely alone...
as a safety precaution i now keep my radio on at all times when travelling that particular stretch of border road. i expect to hear any day now, "brothers and sisters in christ, we have a sinner, a jew heading north along our periphery - intercept him at once and bring him hither that we may sever his horns and save his vile soul." i'm thinking of putting a jesus-fish on my car to confuse them...
