“Meet Andie Grace, aka ActionGrl, the latest in our series of Beautiful Pregnant Women. Her partner, a great man who answers to the name Thumper, took this shot on AG’s birthday in the deep, dusty Nevada desert. I’ve watched Andie, often from afar, as she’s glided through various life stages, tribes, trials, and transformations with more grace and beauty than sometimes even I can bear. Bassist. Filmmaker. Media maven. The girl you wished was living next door. Girl of Action. Mom to Be. Virgo. Her six-word memoir? “Wasn’t born a redhead; fixed that.” Catch her if you can.”
Sure Larry, whatever you say. And all I’m saying is: takes a special kind of smooth to mack on all them preggers ladies and get away with it, just another reason to pour props for Mr. Smith!

so we’re shacking up, and now comes the fun part: integrating our various stuff into a composite that works.

this should be interesting; as I explained it to a friend earlier, she can’t come over for about a month–it will take that long to have resolved the creative differences in aesthetic that result when you marry swedish architect minimalism seasoned with world travel weaving festish with DIY craft queen who lived a little too close to the Goodwill for her own good.

ahem.

On the plus side, the kitchen is sorted, and since we have two decks, washer/dryer in unit, dishwasher, water purification thingy built in, and an entire floor just for _stuff_, I’ll not complain.

Though that Morphine/Chuthulu poster will be the death of me..

After much nashing of teeth, many hours spent wandering through grotty dark lynolium-encrusted stairs and dark fettid halls, AG and I not surprisingly returned to the first place we’d found, a referral from Molly and Petrina, at the end of Kansas street at 20th. Potrero Hill. Lovely view. This is where the new life will begin. It’s a gorgeous space, not perfect, but a good platform to build on. We move at month’s end, if not sooner. This chapter is ended, please turn the page, and begin again. Embrace. Leap. Explore. Live. Without preconceived ideas of outcome. This is the opportunity, the challenge. There’s a voice to be found there, let’s see if I can’t find it.
