Settling in…

Well, it’s great to be back. Although… I (re-)learned the hard way tonight that being in California doesn’t not guarantee warmth. Shorts + May evenings in San Francisco do not mix well!

I spent much of yesterday in Martinez (where is that, you ask? i didn’t know either.) laying down tracks for Julia Lau, a local singer-songwriter. I had never met Julia nor Ed, but we got along very well. I really like this non-classical thing, and hope to get to play more of it in the future. Er… when I’m back and “settled,” that is. :)

After the recording session, I raced down to Santa Clara to have dinner with “Master Blogger” Chester [event], Cindy [event] + Chris, Adam + Rae, and Dardy [event]. Like Chester, I abhor the labelling of my site as a “blog,” and would gladly accept just about any other label, so our gathering was certainly not a “blogmeet”, or whatever. I swear. Dardy was the only one in the group that I “met” online first, although Chester was a close second. I’m fairly certain that we met on Halloween in Slavdom in 1998, but my memory is a bit fuzzy. His site is great, by the way. I love the pervasive use of profanity; he slings it in a strangely appropriate way, and it definitely makes reading his blog web journal more enjoyable.

Hey. Cindy is selling two reef tanks: a 30-gal, and a 40-gal. Check out her site and leave a comment somewhere if you are interested.

Wendy, Lilli and I ate at Blue Plate tonight, which was pretty good. It wasn’t excellent, but the ambiance was fun. After being in NY for so long, it’s a little weird to be in restaurants that aren’t crammed full of people. I dropped both of them off at around 11pm and drove downtown to meet up with Angie, who IM’ed me randomly this afternoon with a quick, “are you in SF?” Turns out that she’s in town for a few days. It was really nice to see her, even though the photo I took of us makes my face look like it’s swelling with fat. Yippee.

Finally, there are some photos of Victor in the mix. He came to see me off when I was leaving New York on Friday. [see some photos]

    Back on the head looking fat again .. I still don’t get how a head can look fat, maybe if you sleep in you dive hood you can compress it.

    (And this post says New York .. just being pedantic there.)

    hey, i don’t just like you for your web journal! always great to see you. it’s been too long.

    1. I also hate the term “journalist” in the sense of “one who keeps a journal.” It’s perhaps slightly less fey than “diarist,” but at least as lame.
    2. I was almost positive that I met you at Slavdom, but now I remember that the conversation I had with some Chinese guy at Slavdom was with some Chinese guy from St. Louis. But my friend Adam definitely met you at Slavdom and you definitely knew Steph, so I have decided that I know you as a friend of friends.
    3. With the high likelihood that an overheating hard drive burned away the vast bulk of my digital photo archives, it’s very difficult to refrain from dropping the f-bomb as every other word I utter…indeed, as a long, vehement string of meaningless profanity. I’m off to find the CEOs of Macally and Western Digital to find out which is responsible for my tragedy, and even if only one is responsible, I’m still going to make them fight to the death, gladiator-style.

    And as someone who measures the volume of his head in cubic feet, I must insist that you quit nit-picking on your noggin, which is well within the standard deviation range for average head size.

    Interesting… I traded a few emails with Julia Lau a while back about doing some recording, but it never developed into anything. Small world.

    Oh, and welcome back. :)
