i am missing NYC more than ever today, after a particularly horrible experience out in SF last night.

i'm not sure how much longer i can stand it here in the bay area...i'm not feeling at home here yet and i'm not sure if i ever will. i can't stop comparing the two cities to one another, and that's really like comparing apples to...raisins. or something. either way, the comparisons are an exercise in futility.

having to stay here for a year or more seems like having an eternity in hell to me...unfortunately i think i'm stuck here for a while.

here's hoping the coming months will give me some sort of reason to change my mind.

...but i'm not going to hold my breath.

the contents of my brain.

what's inspiring me, what's occupying me:

i could give a crap if dresses over jeans are "in" or "out". such things are irrelevant to me. i love the easy, relaxed, wrinkled look worn by this japanese gal. everything is perfect: the voluminousness of her dress, the tears on her jeans, the beachy, faded vintage necklace, everything.

a scarf i'm working on at the moment. feather and fan stitch in a very *now* charcoal-hued wool. i can't stop working on it. i want to make this this in a myriad of colors.

***

some old sketches. more ruffles. you can see my notes about inspirations stenciled to the side: afro-centrism (the beauty of people of african origin and their style), the 18th century, the sixties and seventies, and the ruffles themselves. these frocks might be interesting in busy, african fabric, i'm thinking. i'm STILL waiting on my sewing machine and tools...*sigh*

***

thinking about how i'm actually in california. sometimes i feel as if i moved to another planet, or at least another country. still trying to figure out what i want to do and how i want to do it, and how that will work in this golden state. where i stand and how i'll fit in or stand out.

email issues! eeek!

i've been having major email issues.on the off chance that you actually tried to email me in the past couple days (and you actually happen to be reading this), and your email bounced back to you, please resend your email.

thanks.
