feverish
man, seems like i keep getting whatever bug passes my way. trying to drink lotsa water and get some rest tomorrow. but tonight, lotsa yippy little dogs, and apparently some explosive diarrhea. sigh. it might be time for a new line of werk.

saw the tuxedo last night with dees. well, i wasn't expecting much, and it didn't even live up to my meager standards. i wish they'd forego the odd attempts at plot, and just stick to well choreographed action. still, it was very nice to go out on a little date (dinner and a movie -- and at the cheesy sleazy meh-tree-on to boot!). good to have nice cozy time with my honey. i needed it.

otherwise, just trying to keep myself going. seems to be a year of big (and constant) change for me. think it's gradually coming to a close, or at least i hope so. looking to get myself into a new job, a permament HOME, and onto my "path" before i hit 33. pma, my martial arts school has been great -- got my practice nunchaku last class, and have been practicing at home (swing-clonk-swing-swing-clonk!) a little obsessively. mebbe someday i'll be good enough for sari and ken's warrior camp. actually, i'll just be happy if i continue doing it at whatever level.

and as usual, my sweetie pie houndy impressed me to no end by sitting in my kayak as we puttered around tomales bay. it was a little choppy, so she had more than a few waves break over her head. and she was pretty nervous -- crying quietly much of the time. but she was so good! she didn't get sick, she didn't dump us over (tho i think she thought about it), and she didn't freak out! what a good doggie. she even lay down in the boat for part of the ride, and was for the most part very sweet and calm. mainly, she wanted to stay close to dees's boat, and was estatic to get to shore. she's a beach babe, and i'm soooo proud of her!

OY!-sters
we saw, we ate, we conquered. 150 oysters down various hatches. remarkably, I forgot to bring my camera (I brought everything else including a wetsuit and a boogie board), so no photos. ah well, you had to be there...

this year, we convened at bolinas beach -- a stomach-wrenching ride outside of sf -- it was fun and gorgeous. we even got to watch the nearly full moon rise over the headlands. kehoe, pedro, and chula were the dog crew -- and all but kehoe were very well behaved. kehoe was estatic until dark, when she became very vigilant ("MY oyster party! MINE! MINE!").

we drove all over the most gorgeous terrain on saturday morning, so when we finally stopped in bolinas, kehoe was just thrilled to be out of the car. then, after much bounding, and leaping with all the dogs on the beach, we settled in for a bit of reading and hole digging / sand rolling (guess who did what). and THEN not only do a whole bunch of cool people (more people to play ball!) show up, but her very best friend, pedro comes trotting in and has a quick chew on her head. and to top it all of, what do we do all afternoon but eat and cook and eat.

actually, i guess i was happy for pretty much the same reasons my dog was happy.

fear full: been noticing more and more my fear of acting badly -- not that i am such a nice person, just that i'm more programmed than i realized. been holding onto this post out of some weird sense of inappropriate politeness. ahh. well, whatevah.

exhausted and major inertia girl tonight. must move, and roommate was quite mean about it. exhausted by it all. seems the breaking point for her was my not lending her my sleeping bag (which I was using), and my asking her to ask before eating my food. no, I'm not joking.

may I never become so self-absorbed and inconsiderate. need to learn/take from this, stay strong, and appreciate the good people in my life.

awhile ago, I got a fortune cookie that said: "You will make many changes before settling happily." I think it's about time. I'm craving a place where I am comfortable, a place that I can call home, a place where I don't have to swallow racism disguised as ignorance with every breath.

learning
been a bit of a learning curve lately. a good one. packed and moved out in two days, thanks to dees and my cool kickass martial arts class (yay!). there is something to be said for a group of tough babes (especially when one of the tough babes lives in sin with you) moving heavy stuff for you in lieu of hardcore class. wow, my life just sounded so much cooler than i realized it was...

keeping the whole people thing in mind when i get blah (now that we're back to fog), and glad to have good people near. not sure of anything else but how vital good people are. guess that's ok.

trying to decompress a little -- just stretching out from being a bit squelched the last few years. a good thing, just takes a little bit of pushing and intention, y'know?
