Haven't posted for a while...

I've been really busy so I haven't been posting. This is just a nice journal-type list of things I've been doing.

Friday: Voice lesson, went to a bonfire at a secluded area of beach near Malibu. It was small, dingy and cold, with insects everywhere, and we roasted chicken.

Saturday: "Rediscover Your Childhood Day" was not a great success as only a few people showed up. Nevertheless, we managed a water baloon fight in the scalding heat, then decided to go exploring up Bilbots (the hill the park we were at is on), which is all constuction and oil pumping equipment and buildings. From the top you can see the whole of LA to the barriers at the edges which fade into smog, but the buildings up there have not been touched in such a long time that it resembles a ghost town. Really a very special place. Afterwards, watching SouthPark and Flight of the Conchords at Jessica's and a sleepover with Robbie.

Sunday: After Robbie went home biked to Rez's house (about 40 minutes through upscale Culver to "the ghetto") where we played a bit of Guitar Hero. Then back to my house for a Butoh meeting. Performing (even as a quasi-rehersal when no-one is watching) in your own home is a bizzare experience. Everything becomes strange, objects that normally pass under the radar as scenery become tools, shapes stand out. It is highly uncomfortable.
