Deja Vus, and other stories.

I hadn't taken photos in about a month and I made up for it this past week.
Like this says I would be shocked to get my period this month. My Starbucks store is closing. Things will change drastically, I don't want to go to school I want to get a job and then have kids.

Big Sur made me miss my dreadlocks. I got a new journal, with the Book of Kells picture on it (I wrote a fine essay about it in art history)

Enjoy my pictures! I will be back soon tocheck up on everbody, I'm chasing my tail a little right now.

Yesterday I put on my wool pants under my pants and jackets and a scarf around my face and followed Billy to Marina Beach, I felt like getting out my zoom lens and with numb hands took pictures of him surf and birds and things.

Later we drove up to the Santa Cruz redwood forest to pick a surfboard Billy won on Ebay for $99, and what a cool little property that was! There was a girl hanging up laundry outside, light was filtering through the tall redwoods and there were dogs running around barking at us when we drove up, and there were a million weird head sculptures all over the place I wanted to take pictures but wanted to be respectful. Billy thought it was a real commune.

Since it was right down the street from the Mystery Spot, we stopped there to see what all the fuss is about. THere were a million people there! I thought it was this park you get to walk around but you have to be in herded group tours.



( IT'S NOT JUST A BUMPER STICKER! )

also, we talked about taking two weeks off in January to go on a road trip to Humbolt county just because we've never been. And, a week in spring if it's not too hot to go to the Owen's Valley, to see the Booming Dunes, the ancient Heiroglyphs, the Ancient Bristlecone pines, Mono Lake and the desert. Billy went there for school and said I would fall in love with it. He says if he had to ever live away from the ocean, it would be Owen's Valley.

Hot wind blew in the evenings. Dolphins popped up and looked us in the eyes. Billy and me slept together outside so we could fall asleep watching the stars. We kayaked, we snorkeled, we walked, I crew, I took pictures, we ate meat over oakwood every single night, we had beers and fritos and vodka infused fruit cocktais.

I got stung by a bee in my fingertip and it swelled up and was hard to wrap around the paddle kayaking, the dogs got off and ran away and then found again, Molly broke off her leash to get a dog who looked like a coyote, and bit Tommy, and broke out of the tent at 3 a.m. to chase a skunk who sprayed her and out tent and we poured Trudy's bloody mary mix over her and almost died of painful nausea and gagging, we had to throw away our pillows and luggage bags because it went through the tent. We spent half a day in town doing laundry and buying a choke chain. Molly was a crazy post traumatic stressed out depressed dog camping :/ I was horrible, burned throat and nasal like onions and rotten garlic and hair permanent mixed together and I got sick to my stomach, it didn't smell like skunk at all, just horrible.

After Rachel & Lodi left yesterday, I cleaned the kitchen. I wanted to drive down the coast in this stormy overcastness, see the Henry Miller library because I never have been in there and always wanted to and it could have burnt down and now it's on my list of things to do. I wanted to take spooky pictures of the fog and the burnt hills and charcoal trees, have a walk with Billy and Molly Sue to a private cove protected by the wind, have a nice bottle of wine with crackers and hummus. But Billy didn't feel like driving even though I said I'll drive, and so he called Dave to see if him and Susan want to hang out before they move to Vermont. But they were busy car shopping, so we decided to go for a walk at the old iceplant-covered, lead-filled deserted dunes where we explored the time the coyote stalked us. Inspected an abandoned close range shooting range, where bums sleep in winters and graffiti artists practice without criticism from anyone but coyotes. Then saw The Dark Knight. I liked it and needed to watch an adventure if I couldn't go on much of one myself. I need infared film for when I do go see the burnt forests of Big Sur, as the fire is now !00% contained. I had a bizarre dream that my sister was giving birth to her twins in our kitchen, and she couldn't get it out it was stuck, and It was a squid. I pulled on it by it's tentacle and was afraid I'd hurt it. When it came out she was holding two fish, slimy and flopping around, she had a big smile on her face. I was very scared to tell her that they weren't baby human boys but fish and I didn't want to let her down by breaking her dream.
