I heart California

Last week it was so warm I was practically sleeping naked, and today it was so cold and rainy I considered missing class to stay in bed. Visiting LA this weekend was somewhat hectic but adventurous. It was a large group of people to coordinate and we ventured into so many galleries and museums, I was almost sick of art by the end! I didn't think this was possible. By far the best show was the California Biennial, but more on this in another post.

Crazy man singing at the hostel

Today I should have stayed away from all things technological. I got caught in the rainstorm walking from the subway in Oakland to my class, and my cell phone got drenched in the pocket of my raincoat, which I now know ISNT RAINPROOF. It didn't work for most of the day, but after having it in front of a fan all day in separate parts it seems to be dialing out. Max thinks it will work just fine in a few days when its 100% dry.

The laptop heated up on my desk to the point that I actually singed my fingers on the bottom.

And then I just plain forgot the iPod at home. (I am putting this in the defunct technology category by default because I would never admit I was just absent minded when I left the house)

One might say I'm a little on the grumpy side. I'm feeling the stress of grad school much more this semester, and there are endless appointments and projects to be conducted. I want to do an excellent job at everything, but there are only so many hours in the day. Luckily for me I was welcomed home tonight by a bowl of chicken noodle soup and dumplings. Mmmmm.... dumplings.
