Road Trip Update : Part Tres

Hacker House for wayward girls,
There is sunshine.
I dig it.
Ms. Hummina has likened my journey out here to be like Dora in Finding Nemo.
“Just keep swimming, just keep swimming”
“Just keep driving, just keep driving”.
It’s entirely possible.
Because it really wasn’t until today that I looked at an overall map of the US and saw how significant the drive actually was.
I suppose the big thing to learn from this experience is…
If you don’t think something’s that hard to do, then you are less likely to think that you can’t actually pull it off.
So shazam, something I need to remind myself of more often.
Even if I know something *is* hard to do, then perhaps I need to remind myself to keep things within *do-able* chunks to make them seem less daunting.
ie: From SF to Tucson was a 4 gasup trip. A trip within a single-gasup seems very do-able. Facile, even. Doing 4 gasups in a single evening seem.. well.. misleadingly easy.
Today’s been a chillout day. Manicure/pedicure & dinner (BBQ!) with my friend Henna (a ridiculously rocking electric cellist) who I had the opportunity to meet through Annie Lin whom I met at Fray Cafe SXSW 2004 and had heard wonderful things about from another blogging friend Scott Andrew whom I met at SXSW the first time I went in 2002. Funny how the world comes around again doesn’t it?
Hurray!
