So we went to this STUPID Chinese Buffet restaurant yesterday (OK, so it wasn't stupid, but it was overpriced and not very tasty). The highlight of the experience is the fortune cookie, naturally. Well, my fortune cookie actually called me fat.
"Here we go. Low fat, whole wheat green tea."
OUCH. Guess they don't want me to eat there anymore.

Unshiny Day at Patrick's Point Last Sunday
A photo of us, for any who may be interested. It was a gloomy-ish yet warm-ish day at Patrick's Point, a nice state park with lots of hiking trails and huge rocks on which to climb. It costs $6 to get into the park, but that gives me a better sense of security that jerky vagabonds won't be breaking my car windows while I sit on Wedding Rock and watch the wild ocean do its unpredictable thing below.
The purpose of this post is to show you Mike sans dreads, because "of course" people keep asking. He was wearing a beanie one second prior to the taking of this picture, so he is suffering from some major hat head, among other inflictions, namely cutting his own hair and not allowing his girlfriend to fix it for him. :-)

Favorite Gig
My favorite part of my job is when tons of musicians send us their CD's for free and we get to listen to them and decide if we want to book them at our festivals.
Soooooooooooooo fun!
Soooooooooooooo fun!

What's New
I've been missing from Blogland for a while. Busy busy and what-not. In the past three-ish weeks I have:
*quit my job
*started a different job
*unpacked a lot more boxes
*got rid of stuff I don't need
*cleaned a lot
*rode my bicycle a significant amount
*read a lot
*worked on growing my hair
*sang to music and danced around my house
*went for loooong walks at the marsh and by my house - it's been so strangely warm
*mostly worked a lot as job transitioning is really energy- and time-consuming
So, I am now the full-time permanent assistant director at the redwood coast jazz and blues festival production office (the same one I temped at last summer). Full time, permanent, negotiated to work with my life and my priorities, and this is one happy and fulfilled woman.
I'm reading a book that talks about the extreme importance of living in the moment, not a moment this afternoon, or one of your favorite moments from last year, but this one. And now this one, and now this one. And this one too. Get it? It sounds oversimplified and it is. Because humans need oversimpflication or else they forget. Or that's my soapbox, I guess. I don't mean it as a lecture but rather just a snippet of something I feel like I've learned recently. And probably learned it a year ago too. Silly humans.
So, hopefully I will get back on here and give more interesting updates but wanted y'all to know I'm doing better than I ever have been since I got here and feel like I'm starting to call this place home finally. FINALLY. And Mikey and I are making big plans and actually starting to implement them.
In other news, Mikey cut off all his dreads and he looks adorable with short hair. It changes how he looks drastically, and he didn't want me to even write this so I'd better leave it at that. (And no, it wasn't my idea, not even a little bit. It was all him.)
