Coming to Los Angeles has been like diving deep, deep into my past. I'm dividing my time between sleeping on the couch at the apartment where I lived and worked seven years ago and at the friend's house where I staid each time I got ready to move to another place. I've been going through boxes that were stored for me a year and a half ago and weeding out the luggage I can no longer allow myself to carry. I phoned an old friend for the first time in years, a programmer who used to work with us, about working on a web project for a friend's non-profit organization. Then I went back even further in time, helping an interior designer with her concept boards and assisting her in managing her jobs. Which is what I briefly did for a large design firm when I first moved to this city in 1997. But the strangest blast from the past is something I pulled out of storage and started using again for the first time in fifteen years. I'm walking around wearing a jeans jacket to which I applied a bunch of patchwork when I was about fifteen years old. Fifteen!!!!! That feels like it was ages ago. It's like I went back to look at the beginnings of my adult life from a whole new perspective. Back to square fifteen...
