these are in chronological order and i took them all tonight. that’s a big-ass waxing gibbous and tomorrow night is a full moon. do you hear that, alayna?

the bright ball of light to the right and sometimes above the moon is saturn. if you turn left a ways, you can see jupiter too:

neptune is a little to the right of jupiter but of course you can’t see it. oh well! you can’t really complain, and anyway i’m always happy to see jupiter

i’m lovin it

I went to a party at my friend Caroline’s house the other night. She’s the Goth Barista I befriended last year when I was trapped here in self-exile in Virginia. It was cool! Everyone was real nice. At one point we played this drinking game, and I can’t remember why, but it entailed us having to hug each other. And everyone said I have an “earthy” smell?? That sounds bad to me, but they said it was more like a forest / incense smell, which is OK. My friend who stayed with me in Oakland last month, she said something similar.

I don’t know I just think that’s interesting!!!

Anyway . . . I hope I see these people again before I leave. Yeah!

REMINDER TO MYSELF:

tomorrow, change the AMSTERDAM to BERLIN ticket from august to LONDON to BERLIN for BEX for mid-october

and get her name on that ticket!

and then all i gotta do is survive up until that point and we’ll both be very happy indeed

duh!

out of probably over a hundred pictures i have of laura and dante together, this is one of my favorites. i took this in my kitchen in my little hobbit hole apartment on the north oakland / berkeley border on a sunday morning a few years ago. laura used to come over just about every weekend and somehow i managed to get both of them side by side like that. anyway . . . i love it~

hey! i’m going to NEW YORK CITY next weekend, from friday until probably the following tuesday. if you’re around and wanna hang out: Let’s Do It. i’m staying with monty and maybe molly too. it’ll be the last time i can visit for a while so get it while it’s hot. OK??

i used to deny this, by the way, when my friends noted i seem to gravitate towards redheads. i was in denial ok?? but i’ve recently begun to accept this about myself!!

i mean: everyone’s got a Thing, or Things, whether they realize it or not. this is hardly a bad one. it’s downright wholesome in a way!

still, i have my detractors . . .
