Tuesday

Dear D,
Your tenant name is by far the most pronounceable one on that list. Congratulations on the apartment!
I've had a strange day so far. I had a dream in the morning that my throat was closing and I couldn't breathe. The panic woke me up and I found both of my arms on my face. I'm really not sure how that happened.
After one, teasing day of sunshine the gloom and mist are back to make my mornings impossible to get up in (unless my arms are trying to asphyxiate me) and churn the ocean into a brown soup. I've been reading Wave of Destruction by Erich Krauss to learn more about how the tsunami affected my surroundings, but it's making it hard for me to sleep at night when I can hear the waves crashing on the beach a few hundred yards from my bed.
Speaking of tsunamis, Hollywood is filming another disaster movie, The Impossible, about the 2004 tsunami in this area. The indoor set is 5 minutes down the street from me and it's dangerous because a) all their trucks, buses and trailers block one whole lane and b) I nearly drive off the road craning my head around trying to get a glimpse of Ewan McGregor or Naomi Watts. Still no sighting. Some girls I know have been cast as extras, which means getting covered in fake mud and fake blood and acting injured (sleeping) in crowded hospital corridors.
It's pretty interesting.
...ack, I have so many photos to upload!
Love,
L
