Voodoo Child v. 16: it doesn't have to be eternal to be immortal.

I went out this morning to sit out by the pool. I like sitting about with no one there, and personally I enjoy the solitude of it all. Just got back, and I'd thought I'd update you with the news from life at the pool.  

I had to go back to the City yesterday, and I realized how much i really missed being home. Face it, people, there are far more fun things to do in the City than there are anywhere. Go ahead and talk mess, but you know it. Who personally cares that Trader Joes is across the street or there's a pool in your complex. I would much rather have mom and pops and yes it does come down to if my Safeway has the 'ethnic' food i crave. Anyways, enough about this silly ass suburb life.

I am having car issues, and had to get them looked at. I also hung out at a bistro for some good honest french food, and went to tea with my co-workers. Got to see my folks, and I was happy to see them because in all likelihood I won't see them for another week. I won't get into the separation anxiety, but those of you who know me understand. I went shopping at a little boutique too, more on that later. Oh and stopped in at a pub, yes I said pub and yes i had a drinky.

I managed to get nice and dark in the last few days. Honestly it's only 1.5 hours in the sun, mostly around 11AM, so it's pretty hot out.  I stopped off at Nancyboy in Hayes Valley, a shop I totally adore. If you love your boy (or girl) get out there and buy him/her some fun skincare items! I LOVE their home scents, and i am happy to score some SWEET soothing after-sun balm for my now chocolatey ubat. I picked up some shave cream for Husbandido and salt scrub for me. Seriously get there if you can because they only have that one shop, and they have the online store too, but you've got to smell it, so stop in. Met Jack, one of the owners, I assume, and he's a doll. Eric, his partner, writes the blog on the site, and he SLAYS me. Okay enough free publicity, and the after sun balm RULES.

You know what else I'm doing out there? Watching television. i hardly ever watch REAL television, but I have been cracked out on Shear Genius, Rob and Big, and DW Euromaxx. Yay. And Lost? I don't even know where to start. I have to start working on the Europe album soon, so I'll hopefully finish that as well. I've chalked up two books READ since I went on vacay: Kitchen Confidential (I finished what I started yay), and Ghettonation. Both are really good, thought provoking, and if any of you have read it recently, let's chat!

Anyways, I only check work email twice, and I have been chastised for it, but hell, I only respond in two sentences, so it's nothing serious ;-) Okay, off to do...stuff. Whatever that is.
