Back to Normal
I feel normal again. The weekend was pretty crazy. I confirmed yet again that everyone's family is crazy and annoying in their own unique way. Francisco's family has serious communication issues. My family is pretty good at communicating but we're all a little emotionally, uh, sensitive. No, it was fun. I got some LA sunshine. And hotels are always a luxurious matter. While I was gone I received about 15 phone calls pertaining to the cat, most of them annoying pranks. As soon as I've captured the cheat safely the posters are all coming down! Sheesh, don't people have anything better to do. Only one lady called with a serious lead. We now know where the cheat is but have not yet captured him. I feel confident in Francisco and my abilities to finish this today though. We've got cat carriers, food, and attractively-smelling bodies (to the cats). I might bring the sneak out in the other cat carrier to attract him with her meows, but that'll be a last resort because I've finally reached an understanding with her and don't want to destroy that. I think she's become my favorite cat this week because her loneliness has caused her to need me big time. My roomates told me that while I was gone, she didn't leave my bed except for bodily function breaks.
Ok, here's where I weigh the pros and cons of coming to New Zealand early:
Pros of staying in San Francisco until September:
*Just started really awesome tai chi class that lasts until mid-July.
*It's the summer! Campouts, hiking, 14 hour days
*Am really involved in Burningman prep
*Sister wants to come out in August and prepare for Burningman with me
*Save $900 by not taking extra flight back for Burningman
*Be able to save some money for NZ adventures
Pros of going soon after Francisco:
*Get to be with Francisco
*Get to see Ardents so that we don't hate each other long-distance. I'm so dumb sometimes!
*Get away from this boring job sooner
Right now I'm leaning towards staying here until after burningman just because summer's really the best time of year here. Road trips and campouts were how I got to know so many people in the bay area last year.
I'm really relieved things are back to normal. I don't know why my mind gets so agitated when too many things are happening, but I now know the cure: Tai Chi (and meditation in general).

Don't worry, we don't hate you. That would be impossible: you're too lovely. If I were you, I'd stay in SF until September, too, for all the reasons you articulated. On the other hand, if you come out now, Weta will probably pay for you to do so. Then you only have to buy one ticket anyway to go to Burningman, which you could do in early August and couch-surf until you come back.
Yay for localized hate! Come now! We can make burritos together, and GLARE at each other. There's plenty of tai chi around here I'm sure. Plus yoga! Wellingtonians are all a bunch of hippies.
Tell us more about the HOTEL. I heart hotels.
Sweet. Thanks guys.
The hotel had a hot tub and our room had 2 double beds, one for sleeping and one for other stuff. Good water pressure in the shower. Nothing amazing like your Duxton Suite but not too bad either. Just sleeping in a bed that someone else made makes me feel special.
Oh! I forgot about the Duxton! You should put that in your pro-going-to-NZ-now column: two weeks at the Duxton.
Now, where's my cat?
