Lol.

| I was in Berkeley on Thursday night seeing Joshua Redman perform. I won't write a full review at this time, but if you have not heard him play or heard of him, you should go take care of that right now. He's immensely innovative and explorative, but without being inaccessible.
I also saw the new Will Farrell movie, Semi-Pro. It's good if you're like me and love absurd, blatantly idiotic yet clever humor, but rent it or see a matinée.

| Hello, all.
At some point this week, I will have been living in Los Angeles for two months. So far, it's been cool. There's everything to do down here that I imagined there would be, including eating great food, making left turns at red lights, and seeing Juliette Lewis looking frumpy but friendly at one of my favorite places to eat at, M Café de Chaya.
The other cool thing is that, unlike in San José, I don't get offered gigs that make me go "Um, you're kidding, right?" or "Oh, you're paying me that much for the whole series? Eh... I usually get paid that per hour. Sorry."
I normally don't write negative or melodramatic stuff on here, but I know some people have been wondering about me and would like to know what's going on, so here goes. To be honest, I've been feeling ill since February 8th. I can't really describe the exact sensation, but I can approximate it as "hungover, but without the headache and without having drank anything". I feel like instead of looking out my eyes, I'm sitting IN my head looking out my eyes, all disconnected from the world slightly. I have lotsa energy and can process thoughts and concentrate well enough to drive a windy road (which I did do today over in Malibu to test myself and practice with the 350Z), but yeah... something's just... off. Even when I read music, there's like a slight delay between the ink on the page and my brain. There's also a funny taste in my mouth sometimes, like acidic, so I'm wondering if I have some sort of low-grade infection. I really hope that that's all it is.
I did see my usual health practitioners back in SJ, including my chiropractor. They provided... not much. My back sure feels nice, though.
I never would have thought that health would be the biggest obstacle that I would face when it came to building the life that I wanted. I had always thought that developing a skill and earning a spot in my industry of choice would be the big challenge. But ever since my, um, myocardial "event" back in 2006, I've never really been the same. Although I can function alright, I have no way to determine what "well" even feels like anymore. It's been so long. And now the challenge is to find enough moments in the day where my thoughts are not occupied with concerns of health so that I can get something done.
So for those who were wondering, there it is. Please note that there is no cause for concern at this time. I'm simply working through this as I always have and am taking really good care of myself now. In fact, I took a scenic drive today (which included that windy road known as Malibu Canyon Road) to get some relaxing sea air and raise endorphine levels. See the pics from today on my Facebook if you like.
I just started working on my next film project with L. Thach. This should be interesting: a faux reality show about a homeless girl.
Haha!
