The bootlegger couldn't come.

Just read an article on Salon.com that Live Journal still exists?

Feel Lucky and Ed Connelly!

Somewhere in Itaaaaalia; maybe Greece although since I haven't been to Greece--not even for a fortnight!--I can't guarantee I'd love it. Lavender and grapes and olive trees and crumbly buildings and warm stiffling hot summers.... In fact I think I will. Let's go. Help me get this cat into a box...

Hugely wonderful question for me right now; one of my most memorable and life changing friendships came from revisiting an old phreek after years estranged. We forged a new friendship that broke a lot of boundaries for me and it was good. For about six months. Then he returned to his propensity to being A Phreek and it fell the hell back apart.

No regrets on that one. But it's clear that once people are wired a certain way, thus they stay. They can visit other ways of behaving but eventually they'll wander back to their baseline. I'm wired to be fabulous and perfect, so you can see the propensity for discord.

Sam died just now.

When they spoke of the non-responsiveness and lack of renal ability I tried to not imagine the worst.

I just seems that such wicked, evil cuteness, and such Greg love would be allowed and even furthered by the planet.

I've been probably more tolerant of FB than most, but the latest change renders it all but useless. You can only see a few feeds, randomly selected and all hours old. It's probably an attempt to cut their server drain, which, I can only imagine must be staggering.

I mean, we got a guy dying in the hospital but you can't find out if he's OK by checking FaceBook anymore.

An article the other day (I forget where) says that FB's customer satisfaction ranks somewhere below the US IRS. Another OTHER article said it started out as a campus directory for Harvard and became populated with over 350 Million Humans. Just another example of how the biggest most successful thing wasn't necessarily designed to become so.

Anyway, I felt like rambling. So I did.

'Bout that time again. I live in Palm Springs, right? Adjusting. In many ways I don't like it, but I'm seeing where the good points are and am spending more time with those. It's still in the "so WARM" phase--not oppressive, but considerable. Like being in a warm blanket, so long as you're out of the sun.

I chose Palm Springs because I wanted: Cheap, Hot with lots of Homosexuals. Needed to be a little more specific about the homosexual part, but there ya go.

Yesterday took a Crash Pad, Commuter Apartment in Burlingame. This is so I have a place to go if I can't get back out on a plane. Or if I fly so early the next day there's no way to get to SFO except the night before. 16 people share this place, mostly girls, and at first meeting some I felt very awkward but we have all flown together before and had wine last night.

Chicago-Toronto today, Mumsie and I are taking a wee cruise next Saturday.

Today I'm making official what most of you already know: I'm selling my house and moving away.

I've been absolutely wedded to this house. And it's been good. But I accepted an offer last night and am divorcing the old girl.

I needed somewhere to go and it's so expensive here. So I picked Palm Springs--for a while. A year, I think. It's much more affordable down there and it's warm and boring and I know tons of people.

I'll still be commuting up to SFO to do my stewardessing, so I'll be up here in the city all the time. Which is a great way to get used to change. Straddling two towns and we'll see which one I find myself wanting to spend more time in.

On March 22nd I'm loading up the truck with core items and driving down to PS to look for an apartment. Then I bring the truck back and go down in the car with the cats. Car and cats live there, truck lives here at SFO and becomes my commuter car.

All the bitching and whingeing about my house will vanish from before your sight. Will I complain just as much but about other things instead?

Am accused of not posting here.

Could it be, in any way, directly relevant to the fact that I have not been posting here?

No. Wait. That can't be it.

I sometimes miss LJ. And I often miss some of the people here with the exception of lj user- blah blah but so anyway. Embedded is a useless youtube but of a modrinn container ship in heavy seas. at Ti 0:13 watch the internal torquing.

Who, among us, doesn't appreciate a little internal torquing?
