try my luck in california.


welp. it's been a month. a very short, quick, teeny, tiny, month. july does that. it always has.

san francisco is amazing. i fell in love. just like i thought i would. and although i have yet to find a job... i did get an internship at an art gallery. i'm house sitting next week... so thats sort of like a job. and i have been taking a bunch of photos. for myself. and for this thing. its called the soundwave series. and its awesome. i've been hanging out at the de young and the legion of honor every monday. because the museums are closed on mondays. and i get to explore them without anyone else around. and it reminds me of the imagination i used to have when i was little. i cut my hair a bit and dyed it dark, dark brown. i found a lovely apartment in the sunset. a hop, skip and jump away from the pacific in one direction and downtown in the other. and i live with the most beautiful people. two boys, a girl & me. a painter, a filmmaker, a writer & me. i also found some wonderful friends. we hang out at the park. a lot. we go to the movies. there are so many cool movie theaters. we go to city lights and read about the beats. we go to north beach and chinatown. we go to the mission and castro. we go on adventures. all the time. we go on day trips to the muir woods and sausalito. and we are going to go on a day trip to berkeley this saturday. we have dinner parties on sunday nights. and we play four square in my backyard. i have been having fun. i have been meeting new ideas and hanging out with new thoughts. the city has so much of that to offer. the city is much colder than i anticipated. in a good way. but in an unexpected way. if anyone wants to get these or these for me, i'm sure i would use them and love them very much. i have been listening to this band a lot, and them, and them, and them, and them, too. i have been reading old books. i have been writing letters everyday. going to this cute, little coffee shop and writing letters. everyday. i miss everyone from home very much. but i am looking forward to visits from the best of you. and creating this new world in this place i had never been to before reminds me of the imagination i used to have when i was little, too.

and that's my update.
