i had a lovely, mostly vegan dinner tonight at the saturn cafe, a vegetarian restaurant in santa cruz. vegan burger with avocado on it, salad with lemon garlic viniagrette, and a pint of stella. afterward i had a scoop of non-vegan chocolate ice cream that was divine. they played heart, "crazy on you," among many other cool songs. it was an eclectic mix of music.
i'm thinking of going strict vegetarian again. i'll have to think about that. it would mean giving up both sushi and my daily fish oil capsules.
i walked around the town a little bit, before dinner. it was nice. i didn't get to do that, the last time i was here. and i have to point out yet again how *awesome* the uc-santa cruz campus is. makes me wish i'd been hot shit enough to get into their history of consciousness grad program (or even to dare submitting an application, which i didn't).
i thought i would feel lonely, being here all by myself, but i actually quite like it. the big trees on campus soothe me deeply--oddly, they do so by making me feel small, short-lived, and insignificant. it makes me relax...the cosmos will do what it will do, and i'm not even as much as a bit of flotsam on its tides. might as well flow with it, see what happens; struggling against it will do no good. and whatever it is, even if it hurts, even if it disfigures me or kills me quick, is sure to be interesting.
