Blah. Still grumpy, but not like I was yesterday. This is more of a “need time” grumpy. On Monday, I plan to get out of town for a night or two, and that should disconnect me from my blahs.
I don’t know how much posting I’ll get done over the next few days, so say hi or something, and I’ll be back when I feel like it.
See, I’m a city girl with a nature girl inside, but sometimes, I just never get the fuck out of dodge, and it’s been a long time coming. I’m going city nuts, I think. Too many people, one place, for far too long. Getting out of town helps me recharge creatively, so I think I’ve let it go too long. Problem to be remedied soon. Stay tuned!
Meanwhile, I just added this photo, one I took a long while back. Here in Van, we’re surrounded by trees, ocean, mountains, and more, and along one of the busier stretches of beach, someone grafitied a few stones, and this is my favourite — Love is the unconditional desire to do good. Fine thoughts before a weekend. And incidently, after a gluttonous potato cake and good French Roast, my mood’s improving. Let’s have a round of applause for caffeine, folks.

I just happened to stumble on your blog last night and immediately passed it on to my girlfriend. I think we’re both likely to be frequent visitors from now on.
Moving away from the “Dear Penthouse…” tone, I closed the door on my former blog for similar reasons and can empathize. Given the barrage of blogs out there it’s hard to produce something that stands out from the rest. I know the whole process can sometimes feel like throwing letters over a wall and hoping for the best, but most of us never realize that those letters affect more people than we know of.
Anyway, just my 2 cents. Cheer up.
Have a fair to mediocre weekend and try not to kill anyone. :)
Only kidding.
I wrote that same thing in Christmas card once.
Anyway, I hope you get recharged the way you need.
Have a good one..
Haaaaaaaa
Oh, girl…I feel you.
I told somebody the other day that for my birthday I wanted to go horseback riding, and they looked at me like I’d lost my damn mind. I was like, just because I wear heels to work and love Brooklyn, don’t forget that I am an Earth sign raised in the boonies. A girl likes her space.
Good luck recharging, doll. Hope to cross paths with you soon.
xxoo

Mal — Happy to be read. Glad you like the schtick. See you on your travels, and thanks for the nice note. :)
Haa — Shouldn’t that be “mediocre to fair?” Such high expectations, but I’ll see what I can do. ;)
Cherry — Doesn’t concrete just overwhelm ya sometimes? I’ll pass on the horse-riding, though. I’ve been thrown once before and I can do without a repeat. Heh.
Right back atcha on the crossing-paths bit. :) xo.
Hey Steff,
I’ve been reading your blog for the past several months and I’m a big fan of you and your writing… Sometimes it’s just a relief to take a break from all the bozo stuff in the world and read stuff from a person that I feel like I can relate with, and actually theres enough of an emotional connection in that strange ethereal internet sort of way, that I’m writing this now.
Anyway, I just did a 2 day long drive alone to death valley from san francisco last weekend for some of the same reasons you are talking about… Getting off the grid is great!
Hugs, peace, and love from a fan and totally random stranger on the internet.
