no home but where i lay my head
so i'm back in sf. while many friends here said that time spend home with family was difficult, i had a really good time in reno. i spent a ton of time editing this industrial video with owen in order to make some last minute cash, and the rest of the time was passed with owen, daveo, carter, maggie, drewish, slack, other friends, and of course my folks. found myself bike geeking out really hard at daveo's, carter is championship mechanic and has like 18 bikes in his garage, we debated the merits of brakeless track bikes and drank whiskey till way too late in the morning. the reno bars drew me back in, here in sf i was always content to drink malt liquor in the backyard, but reno necessitates choking in a smokey dingy old man bar, surrounded by people you probably went to h.s. with.
it started raining the day before i got back here, many thanks to owen for driving me both down to reno with my stuff and back up here so he could fly away to europe for a few weeks. sf is the same as it was, that is to say amazing, and though i fell sick on arriving, i'm better now, and taking a break from bike riding downtown to check out ipod holsters in the apple store. the messengers till give me the head nod, and i miss that job.
staying at nessa's, it's good, we watched 2 gangster films yesterday, and made quinoa, the earth grain. i'm not fired up for new years, had too much fun in reno, but i leave the country in 7 days, and it hasn't hardly hit me. soon enough.
this year is almost over, i have to say that since april it's been amazing, i'm done tons of things i wanted to do, i'm happier then ever, and i'm about to leave on an amazing trip. megan and i were talking about a while ago how when life is going so well, how you sometimes wonder when it will turn towards the bad end of the scale, but then you realize it's better not to think about it.
i'll be writing on this more once i'm on the other side of the equator.
