i woke up and reached down to pick up my computer off the floor. and here i sit in bed, typing away.
new place. computer in bed. perfect.
here’s the view from my bed right now.
and here’s the view from my dresser to my bed.
that piece of art behind the bed is my dad’s. i have a few of his pieces in my place now, which i’m very excited about. amy no longer has the market cornered on dad’s artwork.
before the drama of the tornado, other things happened during the weekend which is quickly rocketing into the past. randy and W. (wilberforce) and i went to Little Saigon for dinner on friday night and randy and i got two of the shittiest fortunes ever. i hate fortunes that just declare something like “you are a nice person.” i want a FORTUNE, i want to KNOW WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME.
but these two particular fortunes were really more retarded than usual. randy’s read “power dazzles the beholder as well as the wearer.”
i mean, is somebody going to read that and think, wow, people will love my power as much as i do? or will they read it and think, i shouldn’t try to dazzle folks too much with all the power i have?
retarded.
mine was EVEN WORSE, though. it was “a man who dares to waste an hour of time hasn’t discovered the value of life.”
OH MY GOD. what kind of subversive chinese propaganda is this, exactly? i long for the precious moments i have to loaf around, i do my best creative thinking when doing very little, and life is infinitely more valuable when i’m RELAXING.
really retarded.
W., who has been on a new and glorious path of life-changing and life-affirming joy, of course got a lovely and sweet fortune.
all right, i’m going to get out of bed now even though i really wouldn’t mind staying here for at least another hour.
i’m leaving for la on monday. W. had made plans to join me there, but now he might not be able to. christine was going to hang out there for a while too but she’s not. so if nobody who i care about is there with me, i’m going to spend PLENTY of time just loafing and hanging out. i’m going to go to the beach as much as possible, as well. i wonder if brendan and jerri have a big beach towel?
you could look at their fabulous place where they live right across from the staples center, but christine keeps forgetting to put the link to their website up here again. but maybe jerri will send me a photo of their place and i could just upload it right here. i could write to her and ask her to to this, but since my friends pretty much don’t write to me anymore so much,they just read this and respond every once in a while, this is probably the best way to get a message to jerri.
and actually, i’ll be posting plenty of photos of their fabulous place once i get there. i plan on spending plenty of time in bed writing. with brooklyn, the dog, who really likes to nap.
my kind of dog.
ok then, i hope your week is going well,
wednesday grace.
