Thrill of all thrills...it is done! After a day of layout madness, and the stupid mistake of using sightly ivory cardstock (though very cool cardstock made entirely from orange peels! No paper!) which meant that I had to redo everything and put it on white paper, and some lovely time at the CopyCentral in Emmeryville, I am now the proud author of ( Read more... )

Ok, so now for a longer post regarding my adventures of the last few weeks ( Read more... )

Yikes.

I am returned from the foreign land. Back to one equally foreign but at least posessing WalMarts and other distinguishing signs. Here is me, on the bus, in Florida. Somewhere. All went well .

Back safe and sound, and want to sleep.

Why is it that when one travels, one finds all of the things that need to be done immediately before they leave? Things that will be due upon my return...which reminds me...phone bill...Good, done. I have everything placed by the door for packing in the morning for you see, I get to whisk everything away from my current squat in Mill Valley, books ( Read more... )

It is just clearing outside the window and I can see the light of the sun through the grey clouds. The grandfather clock ticks, and I haven't had my tea or meditation time yet. I roam my e-mail to find things I need to follow up on, and gleefully delete the things I have taken care of. Yipee for things crossed off one's list! I depart for Jamaica ( Read more... )

Sunday proved to be rainy. I however, was itching for an adventure, and so I called my friend N8 and he was game. After multiple calls in the morning to determine timing and public transportation coordination, we began our respective journeys; he from the East Bay, me from Marin. I took the ferry only to discover that the ferry costs an arm and a ( Read more... )

...I found myself in a room full of ten high school girls from...drum roll please...Marin Academy! I was the special guest for this first day of their mini-course on "Sense of Place". I introduced myself by asking them when they thought that I had graduated and they had a wide range of answers. Amazing really to see that people can percieve me as ( Read more... )

Through sleet and snow and rain we shopped on University Avenue. Through unhelpful indian shopkeepers, teens who suggested making their own, and high winds, we perservered and found a beautiful salwar that I love. The little old lady who hardly spoke any English took it in right then and there and it fits quite nicely. We stopped for lunch on ( Read more... )

Hooray is an understatement. I am finally back home again after what seemed to be a long and tiresome journey. We drove from Mammoth this morning after staying at a new friends house. Rain met us in Sacramento and now we are home in our house-sitting home. I can spread out and laay on the floor and get wireless ( Read more... )
