T-10 days

My blast from the past the other night was amazing.  People I love have grown and morphed into beautiful things, all different and all exactly what they should be.

Reviewing and evaluating personal belongings is unbelievably and excruciatingly tedious.  I am making a bit of progress each day, and one way or another will be ready to drive away from Los Angeles in 10 days.  "Nothing makes a person more productive than the last minute."

Thank god for the last minute then!

Last night was the 2nd Glow Festival at the Santa Monica Pier.  The 2008 Glow, in my opinion was quite a bit more fun.  Today is the Abbott Kinney Festival in Venice.  There will never stop being a gigantic list of Things To Do.

Back to work.

2nd New Post

I finished work yesterday.  It was kinda emotional for me.  I started to tear up a little, which surprised me and pleased me.  A year and a half at the Fairmont Miramar.  I certainly learned a lot there and am very grateful for the opportunity I had with the company.  I would be happy to go back to work for them one day if thats the way the cookie crumbles.

I guess technically it has begun;  Maria's Adventure Act I, Scene I.  Today was my first day of "vacation".  So I started to throw things away, and sift through the accumulation of stuff from the last 6 years of my Californian life.  Its a little overwhelming.  After a couple hours of that I enjoyed some champagne with friends at Venice beach and a nice nap.  It has been far too long since I took a nap on the edge of the North American continent that sits just a 15 minute walk from my apartment.  It's shameful.  Oh well, I did it today and it was wonderful.

Tonight I go to the House of Blues to see my very first roommate in California play in her band of which I am listed as an influence.  Jill Avilez and the Love Absurd.  I think I haven't seen her in at least a year.  Also shameful.  Oh well, tonight I will see her and it will be wonderful!

So it starts with goodbye I suppose.  Interesting.

New Post

Right now I am starting this blog.  More than one person suggested I do so.  I will try to write frequently.  We will see how that goes.

I am employed for 2 more days.  Then I am on vacation in Los Angeles for 2 weeks, and then I will drive away and roam this here earth for a while.  I'll have to tell you all about it, later.

Kbye.
