only two more days! I'm almost ready for Burning man, I think. I just need to figure out how to wrap this keffiyeh I bought today ...
so fucking excited!
so fucking excited!
so, week 1 of my new job at the homeless shelter was challenging, but not too bad. There's some stress and emotionality (of the clients and the nature of the work), but mostly, due to working swing shift, it's more boredom than anything else. But I feel like I'm working with competent people, and though I'm getting a lot more OJT than I thought I...

Great meeting you at the Lovemakers show. Have fun at Burningman.
so, the good news is, I got a permanent job, which is the one I wanted, in my "field". So no more dependence on temp agencies!
the bad news is, they want to start me at Swing Shifts, Wed-Sunday. So basically, no weekends! aggh!
But the silver lining of that cloud is that it's only starting, once I've been there and proven myself I can...

pallas:

letigre:
it was nice to meet another east bay-er. 
so very hung over .... ugh...
but in a very good way, that hazy, content feeling that makes the pain feel like a trophy and a physical reminder of the last night's fun, reminding me that I really did drink that much and party that hard.
fun stuff indeed.
went to Requiem's place out in bumfuck-nowhere Napa County, for a wine tasting, a vegetarian...

Are you going to burning man? That's cool.
I live near people's park too and it is a little sketchy. that girl was shot right there on dwight and college this summer.
Yeah I found work but not enough of it.
LA is where I grew up and its ok but it won't be the city I settle down for good in.

Well, actually this week is really bad. I have a visitor here and am not really free at all.
Have you checked out the Albatross on San Pablo?

fuck. my car got broken into last night, and my CD player and a wallet with about 40 CD's were stolen.
so I made a police report, which I didn't want to do, mainly because I don't like cops, but I figure I have to if I want my insurance to cover a replacement...
goddam it. I guess it's just a good thing that my...

What does that mean?

He's a douchebag.
OK, well, the last two weeks have been going well enough. It took me that long just to get my internet service up and running, which is why I haven't updated yet.
But anyway, my first two weeks in Berkeley have been going pretty well. I'm in a great neighborhood, with an awesome little park half a block away, I'm eating really well, and feeling...

datsun:
and you! I had a good time visiting with you.
pallas:
ok you can ride with me to the event.
In Berkeley at last, and enjoying it greatly!
Spent the weekend moving stuff in and then getting more stuff, and squeezed in a trip to Santa Cruz to visit friends and see fireworks.
Now, to get a job, a date, and some new clothes (maybe not in that exact order).

How's my favorite city treating you?

it's just a Saturday night and I ain't got nobody ....

don't you just hate it when you're about to leave a place, party, town or whatever and only then do you start meeting cool people?!?
still, I'm looking forward to getting outta Fresno. It's looking like Berkeley for the summer, then Burning Man, then Portland in the fall. sweet!

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
