It's been a while and I have been taking pictures like crazy of the places I have been so Be warned...this is a VERy photo intensive journal update!
The Lightning in a Bottle festival in Santa Barbara was such a beautiful event. I can't believe all the amazing music I heard in such a short time. Gamelon X, Bluetech,
Novatron, Bassnectar and Kid Beyond!!. You should really definately check out the Kid Beyond link, he can do incredible things with his voice!
And the trees at this festival!!!! It was such a different experience having all of these huge trees surrounding us and amidst us all. A differrent kind of playa experience and with so much more music. On the playa I miss so much because there is just so much art and music out there and then throw in all the people I know and love and only see on the playa and then throw in all the people I don't know yet but want to....there is a lot to experience.

My brother and I,
**All pictures taken by andnowmiguel and/or myself.
I went to the farmers market today and bought so many veggie and flower starts. I had actually planted my garden before I left for Peru but the soil must be pretty depleted because very little of what I planted actually grew. Also I know that seeds grow better if started indoors or in a greenhouse but I thought I would just try it out and see what happened. So anyway, next week I get to re-prep and enrich my soil and then plant again. I am also going to put up my pool next week. Yahoo
I was going to go see Pan's Labyrinth at the movie theater today but rented it instead and am going to watch it and sit by the fire that Miguel just made for me. That will be better. And anyway we went to this really cool little place in West Seattle called Husky's deli and got grilled panini sandwhiches to go...and pickles! And pickled okra! ...Which I shared with a pack of 7 or 8 super cute boys on their way home from a birthday party. They were probably like 12 or 13 years old, trying to figure out the city bus fare and how much change they would have and fighting over what kind of chips they would buy with the $1 left over. Such cuties, we ate okra together and talked about pickled pigs feet. nice Moving along... we also got 4 differrent kinds of hot sauce and gourmet brownie mix and gourmet asparagus soup mix. MMmmmm! I have been on such a food kick lately. I actually have always loved to cook but lately I have been pouring through my Santa Fe and Soup cook books for good recipes. That was a good deli.
ok! Hope the pictures uploaded ok and if you can't see them because they are too big, right click to see the full image.
Also, Miguel asked me to marry him. Life is crazy and now we're engaged! Only...we already got married by the pope on the playa who I always swore was naked but who I realized after finding a picture, was actually clothed! I guess I was imagining him naked like guys do with nuns. Or something.
