Moondance

ive been a little obsessed with.... things lately. like the moon. the ocean. that sorta stuff.

ever since watching the moon rise a few nights ago ive been bent on getting a better view of it... instead of watching rise over city lights. so i took layla for a walk the night after and watched rise from the stands at the baseball field at the highschool. unfortunately i tripped the motion light. oh well.

friday night my mom went out with co workers so i took the kids to the movies. Fantastic 4. it was.... ok. i was actually sort of disapointed with the action in the movie. i mean..... 80% of the movie is spent on trying to figure out how they can lose their powers. and, not to spoit it or anything, but the climactic fight was sort of lame..... they a;; just team up and do like one or 2 things and..... yeah. i hope theirs a sequal during which they can put more plot towards....... a plot. we ate at taco bell. not a bad evening.

saturday we finally got the cabinet doors and shelves finished. after i had to go and buy materials friday. speaking of which, my mom owes me money for that. so yeah, otherwise it was a largely uneventful day. i was very tired and i actually napped at some point.

saturday night i was drawn again by the moon. i took layla for a walk, hoping to see it rise again. it didnt. so i went for a drive where i knew it would be dark. camped there for a while. then i decided to drive east. i ended up taking lakeville (highway 116) all the way down to san rafael. i then camped there for a while where it overlooks the bay. still no damn moon. so.... i got on 37 and headed east. little did i know that the next exit after hitting the one lane pass over the bay..... was in vallejo. but by that time, i saw the moon rising. rising up over some distant lights in the east bay. it was so dark and orange. it was amazing. i pretty much watched it completely rise as i drove across the water. watching rise over water was pretty amazing too. then, once i got to mare island, i got off, turned around and drove home, the moon over my shoulder, constantly in my rearview mirror. now.... i wanna see a crescent do that.

sunday there was talk of possibly going into the city and going to the beach down there, but i was actually really wanting to go back to bodega. its closer and prolly nicer than down there. the weather was way nicer than when i went on my own. unfortunately, everyone else had the same idea. once we found a suitable beach that would take dogs (we had Layla and Chica with us) we unloaded and chilled out in the sand for a while. i played with some rocks and watched the tide play with some driftwood. i wanted to go back to the one beach i was at, but we just stayed at Portguese Beach, which was MUCH larger and slightly more crowded. it wasnt as relaxing and quiet as it was before, but fun none the less.

look theres the moon now, peeking through the tree outside into my bedroom window. i wonder who else is loking up at it.....
