Still writing and happy to be in LA in THE APARTMENT THE SIZE OF MY ASS
I have my six week deadline. My money runs out at the end of March -I have until then to finish the Great American novel. Fucking hell!!!!!!!!
Okay, okay -one page at a time...
I am locking myself inside until March. I expect my hair to have grown down to my ass, my nails to be as long as a lesbian who doesn't date, and my apartment to be a fucking awful mess. But hey, what we do for art. Fucking hell! This is how I've been living since October anyway...all for art. Show me the fucking money!!! Hopefully in May I'll be having a blast in England. Get the pints in! Burp!

The Holiday (regaining ones soul) in the APARTMENT THE SIZE OF MY ASS
"I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you. It doesn't matter how many haircuts you get, or gyms you join or how many glasses of chardonnay you have with your girlfriends. You still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could of misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can convince yourself that he will see the light and show up on your door. And after all that, however long it takes, little pieces of your soul will finally come back and all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life you have wasted, that will eventually fade."

Cool times in the APARTMENT THE SIZE OF MY ASS
I'm having a blast. My apartment is looking pukka, mate. I got this amazing big fuck off leather lounger. Smells great. I'm putting my photo's up on the wall.
I've been exploring, taking pictures, doing yoga, doing cafes at the weekends. That's what they are all about.
I'm up to SF this weekend. Mickey mouse college but I'll have fun and movies with pals.
I've been writing my script today. I'm knackered now. I will work on my novel tomorrow. I have homework to do so I'm doing less procrastination.
I spoke to my my amazing mum. She's a very strong woman. All that counts in life is family and real friends. Nothing else matters -shit lovers, shit friends, shit jobs, shit strangers, shit 'hoods, shit fame, shit fortune. All that counts is the people who love you...for you.
I'm having a blast, doing what I love -writing, reading, exploring, eating out, yoga and meditation, watching movies, cooking, filling my apartment with funky stuff, thrift stores, meeting new people. I'm happy to be in LA -lovely weather. I'm home. I'm excited about my apartment.
I met my guitar man neighbor last week. He plays a mean guitar. I swapped cookies for his tunes.
Doing some photography tomorrow -signs.
Plaid are playing at the end of the week. Grrrrt.
I have rented a ton of old movies to cuddle up to. Happyness is a cuddle in front of the TV. It's the small things. Now that I have this amazing chair....whoa...

Okay, but this is REALLY me in the APARTMENT THE SIZE OF MY ASS
Whatever, about the partying. I escaped London and 24/7 partying, to get on with my life. I couldn't give a crap about superficial people. I am real. My art is my own. Superficial people can fuck off. I am in my own world and I love my family and my friends and my cats. I make my own life and keep it real. I am me. Deal with it. This is me:
Javier Marias

"People think I am a very good observer, but i am rather absentminded and distracted. I am rather the kind of person who, if you turned around and asked me the color of your eyes, I would not know. Though maybe I can do it afterward -I can recover things I didn't realize I had notized." What I present to the reader comes from my experience and from what I have invented, but it has all been filted by literature."

I walk through America, rather absentminded and distracted. I observe and I take it in because I write about it or take photographs of it. Some people mock me and think I am a ditz, when this is far from the truth. I take a back seat. I am me. I watch, I listen, I take note. Love me for me. I am not type A. I was type A in London. I don't want that any more. I am a romantic, I am a dreamer. This is my life and this is me. Deal!

Nice to have money coming in THE APARTMENT THE SIZE OF MY ASS
The money is in. Happy fucking New Year. I can live again. Farmers market and yoga tomorrow.
Sending more of my work for competitions. Word from my college -still no word from the DOE. But I'm going on the 19th.
It's soooooooooooo nice to be ME again. I'm pyched and working hard. Lots of writing -scripts, novels, etc.
I'm worn out from running.
I just treat my chats to yummy food and toys. Just bought packaging for my baked goods. Sending you all stuff. Yummy.
I need to eat.
I put off going out tonight. I'll meet up with pals next week, watch a movie, etc.
Cookie monster!!!

Busy Bee in THE APARTMENT THE SIZE OF MY ASS
It's January, and I did promise peops that I would go out for drinks, coffee, movies, etc., but I'm on a role right now. I think that has a lot to do with the new year mind set. I promise to go out next weekend with the new LA peops. This weekend I have competitions to apply for and my yoga. The weather is shite though.
I only have to April to get this shit done. Actually, I have end of January deadlines for novel competitions and scripts. Getting up early really helps.
I was privy to my neighborhood bird of prey -outside my window -eating a sparrow. The squirrels wouldn't shut up last night. I guess they were pissed off they were out in the rain.
I don't think the weather is impriving this weekend so I may not do photo's of Silver Lake until next week.
I still have lots of truffles, ice-cream, chocolate cake, and cookies to get through.
I must have my tea.

Cheers.

No Sleep in THE APARTMENT THE SIZE OF MY ASS
That's two days with not much sleep. I'm not stressed...well maybe a little heart broken...rather I'm excited...I have all these ideas...again. It's nice to be focused...once more.
I just treat myself to a pair of shoes.
I'm off to Trader Joes to treat myself to some lamb chops.
Hopefully I'll meet up with some pals over the next couple of weeks and really rock.
Got to write, ta ta

NEW WWW.GINGERGOURMET.BIZ in the APARTMENT THE SIZE OF MY ASS
I now have a new domain name...well, it's the same but I changed it to biz. It will be around seven weeks before I have my business licence in LA. Getting certified in CA and all else. I've been doing business since 2003. I was out of whack, due to medical reasons, for a couple of years, and came back to business 2006-2007. 2008 is going to be fucking wild.
Watch this space of GINGER GOURMET...and everything else, ginger.
I'll be making pasties tomorrow...LA style. I wonder if they will be as good as my Berkeley style...
Food, wine, cheese, bread, love, travel, kissing, baths, playing with the animals, friends, family, cooking, running, writing, reading, sitting in a cafe, taking photographs, laughing, connecting, music, movies, shoes and clothes, happiness, sunshine, humor...
Bloody British!! That's me, you shits. Nobody gets the northern humor...fuck weeds. Have a nice day!
Cheers,
Ginger
