SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON!
Mostly I'll just say that since my show, things have been good. Except for one Christmas Eve when someone smashed out my car window and stole my purse bastardsassholethievingfucks. BUT, I've since calmed down about the issue and have steadily been emotionally replacing the things that were taken. For example, for the journal that was in the purse, I've decided to sum up the 6 months that were written about into bullet format and write about only the positive experiences. It was a good exercise.
Here is the emailed summary to a friend:
I'll give you the short version of my holiday, the extra-fun details will be supplied when we have beverages in our hands and I can be explicit about my activities... 24th drove from LA to stockton, parked at yoga studio to buy mom's present, car window was smashed and purse stolen, body starts to shut down with sickness, battle with the credit card companies and extreme anger turns to sadness (they got my red glasses, my jewelry and my journal from the past six months! BASTARDSTHIEVES!!), get drunken with old highschool friends, drive to SF, eat sushi, take best friend back to LA with me, go to a show at El Cid, followed by the Skream party downtown until the very wee hours, do nothing but watch onDemand, drink lots of wine, stay up all night with friend watching the purple lights flicker around the carpet of my apartment*, drive to tijuana, throw a raging new years party.
Whew!
*in-person explanation necessary.
