i am dumb...

can't believe its been 2 weeks since my last post. i promised myself that i would keep this up, and i went on vacation and got all lax. though half of it wasn't my fault. i wasn't near internet for half of the time, even though i brought my computer. oh well, onward ho.

california was awesome, as always. i had such an amazing time with everyone. it was a very relaxing trip. my whole summer has kind of been that way. quiet and calm. its interesting not having crazy stuff happening all the time to keep me on my toes. i've actually found myself bored most days. i'm really anxious for school to start so i can start tapping into myself a bit again. i feel i remained, um, "neutral" for the last 2 months. like i was more existing than living. california helped jump start me a bit again.

i spent the first couple of days in walnut creek with my old roomate Marhanda. we had an amazing time. her place was unbelieveable. i actually found out that she has the studio and a wonderful back yard and garden, complete with a pool, for only 600 is a month. Fantastic! the first day we went for a 2 mile walk around the neighborhood. it was so nice being outside in the green and cool weather. then we had a good healthy oatmeal applesauce pancake breakfast (get all that?). she had a long interview at a firm that afternoon, and i spent the day outside writing in my journal. it was amazing.

the next day she went into work, and i just worked on booking train tickets for Sacramento and such. when she got back in the afternoon we got ready and went into the city. (San Fran). went to pier 39 and the fishermans warf, then to ghiradelli square. we ate fish and chips at chowders and i bought the most amazing yellow peach the size of a fist at the fruit market. it was the best peach i had eaten in over 10 years. by the time i was done with it i had peach juice all over my face. couldn't help it really...

i pretty much did the same thing i do every time i go there. a lot of the touristy stuff. we also went up to lombard street and drove around union square. next time i go i'm taking an architectural tour of the city, shopping at the stores on powell, riding a trolly car (still haven't done that), and well, pretty much buying an apartment complete with georgian windows overlooking the bay. yep, that's what i said. i can dream...
