Check It
Today is a week after I came here - Monday to Monday.
So far, I have started a novel and started two short stories. Nothing finished yet, but I'm feeling good about all of it. Happy Day.
I am happy to report that I have not yet been mugged, and I have walked every day. This has been a very good trip to catch up on sleep. Also, I have seen two movies - Hairspray, which was good, and Sunshine, which was enjoyable. I have read the Harry Potter book (the epilogue sucks; what the hell, j.k.rawling?), and I've started The Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson (I think) and have read Stardust again and have started Donnerjack again and am reading some book called The Witch.
San Francisco remains, as always, San Francisco. I ate ricearoni - it kinda sucked. I walked through Golden Gate Park - it was nice; I plan to walk long ways across it tomorrow. I had dinner with my aunt Kay's step daughter Lauren. She and her husband Parker were nice, and Parker told me neat things about the city. For example, the first building in San Fran (which I saw) was the fort over on Ocean Beach. It is very cold and windy there, and so the Spanish Missionaries built their mission quite a ways away in the valley that is the hottest part of San Francisco (what is now called "the Mission"). I have not yet romped through the streets of North Beach - I plan to do that on Wednesday, and now I kinda want to see the Presidio (big park at the top of the city - where the Golden Gate Bridge comes out of) and the Mission, both of which I'll probably try to see next week some time.
I am going to Los Angeles this weekend to see my father and my mother and my brother and Jersey Boys. It should be a fun little excursion.
Well, I guess that's it for now. Anybody have any questions? No? Okay.
Talk to you soon.
