on the road: one night, one day.
Mar. 1st, 2006 01:27 pma beginning: i'm down in the south bay, a gorgeous cool spring day with sun and clear air. came down last night, had a bottle of Blackened Voodoo with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
l_stboy and sat around being chill with him & C, watching Grey's Anatomy. the car's clean on the inside, camping gear is loaded, and i'm repacking the last of my bags so that they make some sort of organizational sense. i've had coffee, and grapes and blackberries and toast for breakfast. in a very short while, we'll head out and hit the road, down to Monterey, maybe through Big Sur, down to Hearst Castle, and then from there on down to LA. my hair is much shorter than it was on saturday morning, the underside is shaved, and i have funny little chin-length bangs where fyfer trimmed off the overbleached bits -- i like it. i've got dark-red and dark-blue hairdye with me, and i'm hoping to have a chance to dye my hair in LA.
also a beginning: when i was loading the car last night, i set the hula girl on the back end of the roof of the car. and, due to it being dark and me being all full of fretfulness and stress...forgot her. i remembered 15 miles down the freeway, but she was gone, and my housemate couldn't find her anywhere near the house. it's a lesson in ephemerality and letting things go, i suppose, and while i'm very sad that that little bit of art isn't coming with me on Matilda's dash, it seems an appropriate enough lesson to be reminded of right now. so we'll be keeping an eye out for another swivel-hips hula girl, or whatever else seems like good mojo for the road. and...i do have a monkey, and a plywood violin. *grin* Manhattan's a long ways away, but i'll get there before too long.
scheming:l_stboy asked the other night, "So, how do you feel about Vegas?" i grumbled a bit, and he added, "We could swing through Vegas on the way to the Grand Canyon and catch one of the Cirque shows there," which sounded much more appealing. *grin* he's off getting us a pair of tickets for a 10:30pm show on Saturday, right now. so it'll be LA tonight, Vegas on Saturday. hell yeah.
