I am eating a grilled zucchini walnut muffin.
And listening to the Esquivel album Merry X-Mas From The Space-Age Bachelor Pad.
It's groovy. And y'all know i love muffins.
This holiday season is a bit bizarre, but then again last year was bizarre too.
Everyone in my family is in a horrible mood, depressed and dramatic.
At least we have a real christmas tree this year.
Last year we just had a little potted fern on a coffee table, that was pretty pathetic.
Valencia is physically a pretty town, with winding tree-lined boulevards all decorated with xmas lights.
It's just boring and full of semi-well-off soccer mom types in SUVs.
Compare to: Walnut Creek, Abacoa, CityPlace, Fruitvale Village, Bay Street.
It's nice being able to walk around without feeling like i'm might get shot.
Sorry, i don't care if this is all commercialised and yuppified.
I'm a yippie or yupster or whatever they call it, i like drinking chai lattes with almond milk and going to Old Navy for sales.
I enjoy having a car and not having people on the street trying to sell me drugs, or my favourite, purchase drugs from me.
Merry Whatever and Happy End-of-Year Day!
