Buuurrr! and the burner solution

It's true, LA has made me such a wimpy little baby when it comes to weather, but I've always hated the wind! Today i had an epic battle with the Santa Anna winds opening my apartment windows. Having an old apartment is like having an old car, there's a lot of maintenance involved! I thought i would just be able to move into this cute little building built in the 1920's and set up a cute little place and leave everything else to the maintenance people. I was sorely mistaken.. Maintenance people don't care that your toilet doesn't work after two months of repeatedly trying to fix it, they don't care that the previous tenant painted over the windows with black paint, they don't care that the heater doesn't work, and most of all, they don't care that the windows don't latch all the way... I mean, it's never that windy in LA to blow open the window repeatedly making it impossible to heat up the apartment right?

I love my apartment, no really, I'm really proud of all the work I've done on it. I'm no handy man, but I really do try!

wow man it's a MOON BOW


I went to Moon Tribe for the first time last weekend, it was really cool! Good people, i felt pretty safe. I got to meet some new people and i saw a ring around the moon for the first time. It was rad to share that with Andrew, it was like the world was smiling down on me that weekend. Then i saw a ring around the sun for the first time on the way home. It was really a nice to get out of LA and go on a vacation, but it took a lot out of me. I've been so moody and my energy has been drained all week. I feel like a bitch.

Moon Tribe is rad! i think i almost like it as much as burning man. There's a lot less going on, but i get the same good feeling from it. I feel like i'm a part of something, i get this awesome feeling of togetherness with people. Maybe because we are all out in a harsh environment experiencing the same stuff.
