another action packed weekend comes to a close. i just turned around and realized that the sun has set on another sunday. i have been so wrapped up in surfing, writing, and posting for the last few hours, that i didn't even notice that night has fallen. there is a new feature on vagabond today -- los caminantes. stellarfriends erich and sara have been trekking through south america over recent months and have been electronically documenting their experiences via emails sent to friends. now they have a little place on the web to extend their adventurous tales further out into the world. i thank them for contributing. i also thank my friend matt for linking them to stellargirl.

for the first time in many moons, but only one lunar eclipse, i have been really busy with work and social stuff. my time has become so much more precious which is a welcome change for me. i am sure i will find flaws in that before too long, but for now i am enjoying the swiftness of life in new york city. i'm waiting for the sun to come out and stay awhile and maybe bring the temperature up to what i expect out of may. i am longing for the days of flip flops and tank tops. a nice period of the year that will soon end with dreams of sweaters and fuzzy scarves. i am still glad the air is bringing with it new life and change.

now go on and have some vicarious adventures with los caminantes!

i have become such a stellargirl slacker. my world is topsy turvy as usual and i guess i either have nothing new to say or i have been reporting it elsewhere. you be the judge.

this past weekend, i finally went to see the Matthew Barney exhibit at the guggenheim. it was grander than i ever imagined it could be. the recommendation to see it was passed along to me by many people. i think it was well worth the experience and i have been encouraging others to go check it out. whether or not you like matthew barney, his ideas, or his art, it's still a fascinating journey. it's also very male-oriented, which was unusual to me a) because i am female and b) because it seems like so much art is so overtly feminine. at least what immediately comes to mind. but what do i know? my art history degree has lapsed a bit.

i also went to eat greek food this past weekend, which was so delicious and fun. i practiced as much of my greek as i could remember. the waiter was really cool, he taught me some new words, which of course, i forget already.

nothing else new really going on. spending my days thinking about what's next for me.. and how things will be changing again. maybe that act of not changing will be change enough. too early to tell.

keep on rockin'

ok ok, a lot of you have been bitching that i haven't been writing on here. sorry about that. i have been busy! believe it or not! i actually started temping last week, and i now have a project for the next month or so which is very exciting considering the abysmal state of my employment over the last several months. so that's where i have been.

in other news, i went out of town last weekend for a few days and came back contemplating the relationship of big city to small town. as in, which do i prefer? i long for one, and miss the other. hard to say really. for now, living in the big city is getting me by and allowing me to explore a lot about myself. for those of you who have been following, i haven't left yet -- even though i have threatened to several times.

which brings me to another point. i have discovered, and perhaps this is a result of living in a big city, that whenever i finalize a decision about moving or changing something, literally within a few days or even a few hours, some odd moderately catastrophic event comes along and causes me to completely change my mind, and be sure of it. city living is fun and exciting, but confusing as well because you have so many choices about everything. you are constantly being presented with decisions to make about where to live, what to eat, who to hang out, where to go, where to work, how to cut your hair. it's a mad, mad world. as a result of this, i think i might be working on giving myself fewer choices -- with the intent that maybe i will become more decisive. but then again, who am i kidding??

new music! check out egg boy's latest music review: Fleetwood Mac, Say You Will.

big happy birthdays are in order this weekend: albie of philadelphia light room fame had a birthday yesterday (i believe) and mike of openphoto, and coincidentally his twin brother andrew, celebrate their big day tomorrow. well, actually they are celebrating all day today from what i hear! happy birthday everybody!

and thanks for reading.
