Trip to Fort Bragg was incredible! Ocean was wonderful. Food was plentiful. Entertainment was great fun. All in all was super relaxing. The drive back through Mendicino County on the 128 was some of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. Seriously. I don't think I've ever been in California when it was so lush.

What the olympics mean for me ( Read more... )

Having all this security stuff going on for the Olympics makes me feel sorta crazy. We have been experiencing a bunch of helicopter fly bys and they make me super agitated and teary. I signed up to be a legal observer and I'm not sure it was the best move for my mental health. I have alot of work gigs this month and an appointment to survey the ( Read more... )

I decided not to take the room with my best friend in Oakland. I couldn't imagine how to roll up my life here in time to move it there and I am embroiled in stuff here. New friendships, new playmates, and I met with someone who is doing samples of giclees of some of my artworks and we will be meeting again at the end of the week to go over plans to ( Read more... )
