Out Ramblin'

... antique mall on the way back to the car and we were done. 3 miles for the day and I felt enlivened and refreshed. One more stop on the way home at the train stop. I walked 2 blocks up to use the necessary at a fast food place and discovered a Budhist Temple on a side street. India influences from the giant statuary in the courtyard. Worth furth investigation for the artwork alone. A good day.

In Thailand!

... he teaches me how to do a good luck prayer.  So im like wow this guy is sooo nice!  He then makes me sit own and take off my bag and talk to him for like an hour and he tells meall about this Budhist day they are having on January 19th etc.  Then he starts talking my ear off about suits and formal wear and how i need them if i am going to be a teacher?  Haha..i was like ok i get the point, so he ...

Sorry, my mind is actually driping through my fucking earholes.

...and I had no ingrediants. None. I needed miso paste and freaking tofu. I had no miso paste and freaking tofu. Yeah, I realised that before I went to school.

It was one of those perfect nights! I ditched work around 3.30pm. And I went to the opera. Elisir d'amore at SF opera was magnificent!!! It was light, silly, touching, funny, kind, just like Donizetti and G-d intended. Huge thanks to Chris and budhist_milf !!! Wonderful opera, supberb! Unfortunately, having some space for belcanto singers to have fun, the presented voices could hardly ...

some new things

... my life, I have a job that I like, so I've basically engineered many circumstances in my life to my liking.  I like quiet and I'm an introvert, so I think that's a big part of why i am a Budhist librarian that meditates a lot.  I live in a lot of silence and that makes me happy.  I had goals to complete a certain level of eduation, and I attained those goals.  I do what I want to do, and I don't ...

... the weekend fuck its monday damn monday to hell I think I want to be in politics when I graduate college, So Im throwing this question out there: would any of you think less of me if I pursued politics, I promise I wouldnt be a sleazy politico, I'd be a grassroots, lesbian loving, budhist, birkenstock wearing liberal, but would you guys look down on a proffession that so many consider trashy?

Bangkok: People

...I think the experience has permanently crippled my soul. Eternally depressed my coffee, if you will. So, anyway, I've just spent the last week celebrating Chinese New Year, including burning incense at Budhist temples. It was very interesting. It's a little different at each temple. At the first temple, we each took nine sticks of incense, bowed three times at the first incense....well, actually...
