Back to life

I love holidays. Don't have to worry about work, school, deadlines.. But holidays have to end. And it's back to life. Let me bask in my last hours of holidays..

The older i get, the more emotional i get. Thought people get hardened by life. I never used to cry in movies.. but now i'm getting teary at albatross stories. Not to mention the tears shed for stolen clothes. Perhaps i'm just not used to having attention when bad things happen.. and crying is not an expression of sadness but an expression of thanks for all the concern? weirdo

Highlights of the holidays
  1. hiding out in cafes in cold drizzly weather (if anything, i'm not against Starbucks any more
  2. Pike's clam chowder
  3. Avatar
  4. train ride to Vancouver
  5. bus ride in the rainy night back to Seattle (feeling warm and protected in the bus, playing Spikey and talking abt life)
  6. Koi palace dim sum
  7. quaint downtowns (Napa, SB)
  8. Monterey Bay Aquarium (the bkgd music + the sea creatures never fail to attract me)
  9. beautiful coastline, fierce waves, foamy seas (Monterey, 17-mile dr, Big Sur, I would go there any time)
  10. different photo ideas from different people at the same spots
  11. John Mayer trio (extremely talented 3 people, 5 rows away from me)
  12. warm comfy beds
  13. Guitar Hero
  14. CS's sour apple pie
  15. nice guitar
  16. Balboa Park on a sunny Sat afternoon watching planes land and people take wedding photos
  17. being around friends, all the time

Forgettable moments

  1. discovering that the car's missing
  2. hotel room getting broken into and luggage rummaged through
  3. Hearst castle
  4. LA jams
