(no subject)
I am in San Francisco! Until tomorrow, that is.
I got to L.A. quite safely, and took the one hour ride out to Westfield Mall to meet Shing. It's a very nice mall! It's definitely built for hanging out, lots of chairs and cushiony seating areas... which kind of weirds me out because it's mostly outdoor? LA is also much cooler than Riverside, which is probably a factor.
In retrospect, I should have asked if I could have left my luggage bag in the train station because that fucker was hard to lug around.
Lunch with Shing was pretty nice! (She is preparing for Burning Man.) We chatted about how we moved to North America and our work and travelling back and forth, and what SEAsian SFF might move towards.
I got back to Union Station in good time, and
tempestedbird was already there! So we found each other (or she found me, really), and we had a really wonderful ride up to San Francisco. Between her, me, and her friend Laura, we kept up a really steady stream of chatter that was pretty great.
yeloson has let me stay on his couch for my whole visit. (Part of why this works out for me is that he has no cats.) We've spent a lot of time eating, walking, and watching stuff. (I have finally made someone sit through the pilot episodes of Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys with me! We have also watched the Captain Harlock movie and the pilot episodes of Transformers Prime.) Today we went to San Francisco and walked around Chinatown, had chocolate and tea.
I have the problem of not being able to connect to Twitter so that is one social network cut off from me for now but I will worry about that later.
So I guess I will write in again when I get to Korea!
