Long time, no post

Holy crap. Its been awhile. A lot has happened. I moved out of my crappy living situation into a temporary space. The temp space is nice and cozy and right across the driveway from 2 of my friends. In fact, it was at one of these friends apartment where I first stayed when I got into town. Making a loop. I went and looked at the tannery apartments yesterday and was kind of disappointed. The three bedroom apartments have only one bedroom that has a door and a full 4 walls. Thats right, the other 2 rooms DONT EVEN HAVE DOORS! Is this normal? Not only do they not have doors, they only have 3/4 walls on one side so the whole rest of the apartment can see and hear what goes on in your bedroom. How can anyone have sex? Because all three of the bedrooms are along an inside wall they said they had to do it this way for ventilation and heating. You would think some architect somewhere could have done a better job than this. But I guess thats what I get for living in low income artist housing. Who cares if artists have privacy? My god. I guess we will be building some walls and putting some doors in. But then the bedrooms will have no natural light at all because they do not have windows. I think it is a social experiment to see how fast the government can make the artists in Santa Cruz go crazy. Wish I would have known this beforehand...

In other news, the weather has been gorgeous the past few days. I went to the beach today. In January. I put my feet in the ocean and they almost fell off, it was so cold. I went to see Howl's Moving Castle at the midnight movie last night. I liked it better the second time. I love his movies. They are amazing. I also like yerba mate, which is what I drank before the movie. And I like popcorn which is what I ate during the movie and what I will probably eat later.

I took Chris out to listen to some dubstep last week and he liked it. He even danced. Derrick sure did start a revolution with that dubstep. Although, I'm pretty sure it wasn't all him. I cannot wait to go out dancing in portland. I miss drum n' bass night terribly.

Speaking of Portland, I will be leaving on the Shaky Hands tour van this Saturday to head north. I should be in PDX by the 21st. It is going to be fantabulous.

Last night I learned that expensive Shamisens (crazy instrument, look it up if you dont know. Hopefully I spelled it right) are made out of cat or dog skin. Thats pretty gross. I kind of liked that instrument until learning that. Ignorance sure is bliss.

Be kind everyone. Peace.
