sophia’s travel by night

my friends n i went to the Troubadours (a small but cozy venue in west hollywood) to c the sold out performance of Arcade Fire. wow! they were awesome! loved it. loved it. 2 other performers also opened for them, Owen Pallet (who's new album is called Final Fantasy) n some other guy we didn't like at all.

tonite, we, basically the dining club friends, went over to pasadena play house and saw ths play "Anna in the Tropics" it's a very small cast/ crew, but wow, it was a very good play, we all enjoyed it very much. this is a very cute space too, built in the spanish settlement style. the bar is outside in the courtyard (altho it was really chilly tonite)... at the end of the show, ther's a cigar roller rolling cigars, me n jimmy both got 1 for free! ther's also musicians playing cuban style music. i think this is the opening nite, not quite sure.

wow! i cannot believe that having sunshine here is soooooooooooo important. everyone i talked to is so thoroughly affected by the last 2 weeks of rain. so happy today! even if it isn't warm at least the sun is shining!!!!! here's a beautiful tree, look at the clear blue sky, not a cloud in sight (for now). in yoga practice today, we'r reminded of how lucky we r to b living, having wht we hv, here n now. i'm reminded of our luckiness that ther is not flood nor mudslide nor tsunami to deal with. n i c in color!

does this rain ever stop? it's been rainy n gray since... FOREVER! i kno i'm spoiled about this rain, but i live in southern CAL! it's supposed to b warm n sunny, not wet all the time! my brain is moldy w/rain. i can't even stand the sound of the rain anymore either! wow, this is crazy! ok, so last week, b4 i head out to the CES show in Las Vegas, it cleared like for a little bit, n the sky near my parents' house in newport looked beautiful... then, well, LVS was... rain/snow/gray, wet, cold for all of the weekend, i mean, it rained the four hours drive home too! it snowed on friday! i didn't kno LVS gets cold in the winter! wow! it is still raining right now, as i'm writing this. it's driving me nuts! so, i thought i'd share some of this wet foggy weather foto too... on liter note, here's a gallery where i saw some interesting snoopy paintings, so i snuck a foto in b4 the sales came by to tell me NO FOTOS! in a rather mean way. m...
