i thought i told you so.


hello. well, ive been home for a couple of days now and its not as bad as i was expecting i guess. my transition to getting up early and going to work is fine actually, as i suppose not having anything to do the rest of the day doesnt really make me feel like im missing out on anything or make me tired for hanging out so late. i am eating well, but a lot less as i seem to fall asleep in the afternoon and miss meals then have a voracious appetite afterward. my room has still to be unpacked, and to be honest, it might end up staying that way. my mom and i dont see each other that much as usual, so thats exactly the same. she asked me about my trip the other day, asking things like "did your friend charge you money for staying at his house?" and "what did he get out of you coming to visit him?". to the latter i replied, "my company". only my mom would ask these kinds of things.

in an attempt to find stuff to do around my house and not be bored, ive been look up stuff to buy online. i dont really buy anything of course, but i look around a lot. camera stuff mostly... and i think ive figured out my whole camera set up now. also, ive been watching tv. like, uh... project runway. mostly because bravo shows reruns of every episode of the season everyday. whats funny is i dont find the show very interesting to be honest, at least not as interesting as antm. i suppose because it doesnt have as much in the department of sexy models and photography that ive come to grow and crave. but project runway does keep my attention. i suppose because they have to come up with ridiculous outfits and dresses from challenges that make no sense at all. like, heres a bunch of old car parts, now make a fancy dress and you have 1 day to do it. who would EVER have to do that really? but somehow, through creative spark they make crazy good outfits. fashion is weird. we were talking about that at work recently. i was asking the girls if they had any designer clothing and surprisingly, a lot them did. pieces mostly of course, but i was surprised. i mean, i dont own anything designer, well except those diesel jeans i found in bubblegum alley. but if i lived in a big city, would i dress like that? you know, to keep up with the trends? i really dont think so but we agreed that if you were to wear too fancy of clothes here, not only atascadero but the county in general, you would look more foolish and out of place than stylish and pretty.




oh i forgot to talk about my few days in san francisco. they were good... kinda random and quick few days, but it was good. i like visiting that city to be honest. i learn more places and stuff to do in the city every time that i go. i hung out on saturday with marleigh and her friends all around town. we took the bart from oakland and took buses around town mostly, going to love fest (well kinda), mission st, haight st and berekley. we went to this thrift store on mission st and i found a sx-70 alpha 1 se polaroid camera for $20. overpriced for sure for a thrift store (i got my first one for $3), but definitely worth it to me. i tried it with an empty pack yesterday and am glad to say that it works very nicely. it even has a leatherette and smells super old and it probably hasnt been used in years. because of love fest and hardly strictly bluegrass, the buses were really packed and we waited for a bus for 2 hours because they were all completely full and slowed down. the next day i took the bart and then got on a bus and both were completely full at one point and wouldnt let anyone else on. i felt foolish (and a bit cool haha...) carrying my luggage and bag all around the city and the festival, but it made for interesting conversation and allowed me to sit on something most of the time. haha... the festival was realy great for being a free event. i wish i had bought some sort of food while i was there though, because i do love food from vendors like at a fair. but being able to see classic bluegrass artists, like earl scruggs who would i never actually see ever, as well as somewhat bluegrass contemporaries, like iron and wine, and all for free... its all kinda awesome actually. so i didnt get to be front row center and was surrounded by tons of people... still, it was an experience. i ended up leaving a bit early with john and kyle in favor of going home to take a shower and unpack, but i enjoyed those two days in sf even if they were a bit rushed.

what else? well, i still want a polaroid pogo because it would definitely satisfy my ability to print instantly. well not really, because i have a feeling it would be kinda lame, so really i just want the second of third generation of it because then it will be better, as with most things polaroid, they perfect as they go on. but the idea is great and i especially like the small size and sticky paper. although now that i think about it, this could very well go down the route of the joycam or the izone camera. which wouldnt be that bad i guess because i liked both those cameras, but was too young when they came out to actually be able to afford film at all for them. oh and i bought a photobooth book yesterday on amazon for $2. for some reason, i am really into instant photos right now i guess. but anyways, the photobooth photos i was looking at online inspired me to try a couple of ideas next time i am near one, which will hopefully be soon.

life seems pretty boring here right now. work is fine i mean, but life is not that different from oklahoma except of course the big difference being that i had people to hang out with most of the time. or at least could play with kitties.

and i guess i wouldnt be alone writing in my journal right now either if i had something to do or someone to hang out with. hmmm... such is this i guess.
