what it ain't?
today i drove all through napa for work. i think that's the only thing about this summer project that i like: seeing new shit. i've been to napa once before, earlier this summer, on a wine-tasting with my sister. i've also driven through it a few times. but i've never gone downtown and actually SEEN the place. it's really nice. kinda like a walnut creeky kinda deal, in terms of the storefronts [downtown napa looks a lot like broadway plaza], but somehow seemed a lot more laidback. like people were less pretentious about their money or something...i dunno, maybe i'm reading into it. but it seems to me that the more isolated your city o' riches is, the less bitchy it is. a place like walnut creek is definitely gonna be bitchy, because it has multimillionaire danville bitches to compete with. [isn't it funny how i've always thought of walnut creek as, like, this ridiculously nice, affluent town, and yet people from danville look at it the same way i look at downtown richmond?]
in other news....christyal and i are in the middle of the big househunt. i won't talk about any of our prospects, because i don't want to jinx anything, but damn...shit is crazy. we've looked at everything from a ghetto little apartment on beach hill to a fatty cottage studio on 2 acres of land in the aptos area.
i have no fucking clue where we're going to live next year.
it's sort of exciting having nobody but christyal to check opinions with...it's something like how i imagine picking out a place by oneself is. not much conflict, because both of us ostensibly want the same thing: a place in the santa cruz area where we have room and feel safe. aptos? soquel? felton? bonny doon? i'm down for any and all of it.
i'm just wasting time...i'm waiting for my boss to finish his private phone call he's on so i can go bitch to him about one of his peers in the bank who seems to be ignoring my emails.
patrick's recommended download of the day: mistah f.a.b. f/ the headbustaz: dumb in my backpack. i think only people who are from the bay would hear this and know that these guys aren't playin and that they're actually hard-ass gangstas. but don't worry, if you don't get it, i don't blame you: most thugs from the rest of the country don't floss dora the explorer and spiderman backpacks.
joy of the day: being done with napa. now i only have san ramon, danville, alameda, and oakland to do, and then i'm fucking FINITO with this sheeeeeeeeit.
choice of the day: i'm not waiting for rauly any longer. i'm fuckin going home.
