…my trip to Los Angeles is coming to a close. Last night Megasoul and I met up with Amanda for dinner and I thought “Isn’t it nice that although I may be moving to a new city, I already have lots and lots of dear friends here?” It was a treat. I was happy. I still am.

I’m also still trying to figure out the whole locale thing. Yesterday, before my interview, I drove around downtown Long Beach, and it was quite nice. 1920s-era apartment buildings, funky art scene, nice beach, clean air…and public transportation! Lots of it! Amazing. Unfortunately, I think that since I am half of a pair, Andreas would have a pretty gnarly commute from Long Beach. I must think on this further.

For now, I’m heading back to Seattle. I start that gig at the paper tomorrow, and I got an email from my editor at Nerve expressing interest in a longer version of the Globalgasm article. All seems well in the world.
