yesterday i was on three airplanes and today i'm in between three mountains. a lot of near misses (such a misnomer... i think mitch hedburg did a bit on this?) yesterday, with late flights and having to go through security an unexpected second time (so unexpected that i hadn't emptied my aluminum water bottle and THANK CHRIST the guy was nice and dumped my water out instead of making me go dump it myself and go back through security, i owe that guy my life) and stepping onto a tram just as the doors closed behind me in an effort to get across san francisco international and being one of the last to board a tiny plane to get to medford, or.

i'm staying in a room with multiple unicorn decorations (books, figurines, etc. there are more throughout the house, but not in a crazy unicorn person, aka me, way.). the horse that i'm taking care of is a gorgeous white lipizzaner, essentially a unicorn without the horn. the pajama pants i brought have unicorns and white pegasuses on them. i'd also like to state for the record that on my upper left arm proudly sits a goddamn unicorn tattoo. so, i dunno, you tell me.

it's the little things.

so anyways this place is incredible. i will post pictures soon, for my benefit and the benefit of, i dunno, two others.

snow's been falling all day today and yesterday, it's fucking gorgeous.

my life is fucking gorgeous. i can't believe i get to stay here for SIX MONTHS. it's only been a day and a half and i've already had my mind blown by the vegan raw food, the homemade kombucha, SHELVES UPON SHELVES of books! i am even excited to shovel horse shit.

heaven.
