Weekend Up-grate
Friday, after I got off work, I went home, got all my shit ready, kissed Zili goodbye and went to Carnigie to see if anyone wanted to go with me. Nobody did, so I went to Oroville by myself. It was good. Even though I haven't been there in over two years, I remembered perfectly how to get to my family's camp. I took Beaux to extremes he's only dreamt about. On I5 we were going... I don't know how fast. His spedometer only goes to 85 and judging by the incriments of 5mph, it looked like the dial stopped moving around 100... I think I was going about 120. Kick ass.
I got up to camp a little after 8:30 and watched the rest of the sunset as I looked at the amazing job my dad did at planting a nice little vineyard up there. Then I built a fire, ate a bit, wrote a bit, looked at the stars and went to bed. I decided that I quite enjoy and truly needed alone time.
Saturday morning I was woken by the sun. Glorious! I got to Feather Falls a little after 9, hiked in, bathed in the melted snow and marvelled at the 6th largest waterfall in our country, ate a bit and hiked out. The 7-mile trip took 3 hours. Wicked. It was, then, scantly past noon so I decided to head back home. 'Twas good. I went to Piper's.
Yesterday I got up and stared at my wall of art. I started thinking about how I'd price the art if I sold it. Then I went up to the gallery in the St. Helena Outlets... I think it's just called "Artists of the Valley." It is by far the best gallery in the upper valley. I can't speak for Napa as I haven't been to all the galleries in Napa. They took the old DKNY outlet and converted it into my new favorite gallery, next to SFMOMA that is. Excellent use of the space. I talked to the woman working there and I got an application to join the Napa Valley Artist's Association. When I complete the registration, my work can be shown at their galleries in Napa and St. Helena! I'm going to be an artist in a gallery!!! Then I went to Santa Rosa and got my old phone up and running with my same number. I still have no clue where my Nokia went, but it doesn't matter because I'm starting to get my shit together!
It's bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
--oh, then I went to two garage sales and got glass candle holders and mason jars for the kids at BGC to use puffpaint on... which we did today.
I'm so fucking awesome when I quit smoking weed for a while!
Fuck yeah!
Fuck yeah!
Shit yeah!
