Santos L. Barbara

alternateorg on August 16, 2003

So, my recent trip to California went well. I got the contract and the work should last for quite a while. Everyone say yay. Got to see the place where Tai’s eCafe used to reside (named, coincidentally, The eCafe). Everything in Santa Barbara went as planned. LA on the other hand was another story. To quote Deathcab For Cutie:


the vessel keeps pumping us through this entropic place
in the belly of the beast that is californ-i-a,

i drank from a faucet and i kept my receipts

for when they weigh me on my way out

(here nothing is free).

and i can’t see why you’d want to live here.



I don’t normally see California this way, but damn is LA un-fucking-standable. The San- cities are much nicer (San Diego, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, San Francisco).
