truck-a-luckin

fires. now officially affecting my life. the town i went to highschool in is being evacuated and my mom and my cat are right in the middle of it all. a bit worried to say the least. i know a lot more people who have already been evacuated and friends whos homes have actually burnt down. a slightly positive note on the situation, all of LA today had an orange glow and i really wanted to go get some pictures of it but unfortunately had to work....and ended up having to work wayyyy longer than planned because everyone was sick. oh well. made the moolah i guess. i hope i can get out tomorrow before work to get some photos.

ive been working on a painting that so far i seem to like and that makes me a happy girl. a bit of drama on the social front but still truckin along with a smile. seems like everyone in my house is sick so ive been drinking gallons of kombucha and emercen-C and kind of hermitting but whats new.

so this probably sounds like me being a total conspiracy theorist but for those of you who have seen zeitgeist...remember when they bring up the idea that the government has been creating diversions for society so they forget about paying attention to the 'other things' going on? i cant help but wonder now about certain things that are happening in the world and whether or not they could be 'diversions'. for example...the global warming thing and who knows...these fires? (i really sound crazy, but hey, this is my blog so i guess im free to write about those little specs o' wonder floating around in my brain.) of course global warming has been an issue for a really really long time. the government has known about it for a huge span of that time and just now decides to address it. its fucking great. really. definitely important. however, now with everyone in society scrambling to use less energy and switch to hybrid cars and eat healthier (still awesome), i think there is a big black hole growing. its growing where we once paid a lot more attention to the shady things our government had been doing. diversions. i am not as educated on the subject as i wish to be, but i know im not the only one in the world thinking about all this.
