blow, man, blow
i just thought i'd mention that if you don't hear from me again it's because the wind is blowing so hard here i'm shocked the house hasn't lifted up into the air and gone spinning off to fucking oz or something.
wait?
oz?
hey! i guess i may not need to bother with packing after all!
i'm really sorry if our house lands on your sister.
last time i can recall feeling this much power in the wind was when i lived in hawai'i in '96. wanko moonstool and i rented this room up in the manoa valley outside of honolulu and at night the wind would race down the valley towards the sea. we had louvered windows and they were pretty much always open so the wind just swept through the house. it also rained every day there, but only on the other side of the street.
ah, those were the days.
now the wind is coming from antarctica. it isn't nearly as pleasant.
three more days and then we're in australia. i, for one, am excited. especially after watching the castle. i can't wait to get my hair cut like dale kerrigan. and appreciate the serenity.

fortunately for our marriage, you don't have enough hair to "style" it a la dale kerrigan.
Those were indeed the days. It's getting cold here, too, which means we've started closing most of the windows at night. You should come to L.A., you'd like it here.
