Going homeless

I went homeless the other day after I got evicted from an apartment in Oceanside and landed in Los angeles, in a guest room of a friend who was on vacation in Europe.Always a Bedouin by nature, I was caught off guard by my homeless state of affairs, but decided that better things lie ahead. First, I spent 15 years in San Diego where I worked as an I.T.consultant and technical editor, mostly for defense contracts, and for both small and large companies still weathering the recession storms of the past ten years. So, it is now 2015, and I've collected four full rooms of stuff, and whittled it down to two 5 by 5 storage units at Extraspace storage in Oceanside and I was really proud of myself except I am still not too sure what is in those rubber maid storage boxes and I'm a little tired of living with or out of rubber maid storage boxes, so muchso,
that I plan to contact the rubber maid storage people and suggest they make coffins.

So, in going homeless, I realized I simply did not care where I landed as long as it was somewhere in "L.A."
and so here I am.  Lost Angeles, Hotel California, nowhere. I'm excited!

Firstly, they outlawed plastic bags used in EVERY store for bagging items, so if you don't have your own 'bag' you may get none.

Aghast, since I routinely use these for garbage, I was scrambling for  reusable shopping bags and found two in my possession but I'm just not happy.

Okay, I will cope with this environmental restriction, but it's a conundrum.

but wait!

I watch Al Jazeera
mostly because they give all the subversive news of the world, especially America, and have a more global perspective AND actual footage. Almost like CNN used to be.

So, today, I heard a story out of Illinois
Argonne Labs

the next thing that happened to me in Lost Angeles:
And, then, I'm 'lost' all the time since I never invested in a GPS, so I will have to reconfigure that one.

But, otherwise, I'm excited about my new job and my apartment or hollywood bungalow.

Its an attack on Hollywood since the Chinese are taking over, but I'm really not too concerned with the cultural adjustment, but I'm done with being 'poor' and decided to pursue my passion, which is
Show_Bot, another robot comedy starring Suzi Shane, showrunner.
Don't ask.  It is a very involved business plan but $10k would get it up and running, and the script pilot is in development. See Scryptography.blogspot.com.

And, also, there is a drought and so water restrictions will also ensue.

I decided to bring on the downpour, as shamanic wolfwoman and make it rain.  My raindance involves,
some drumming, some chanting, alot of meditation, and mostly prayer.

And, it works.  Today it rains.

I love L.A.
So, it is now April 9, and after an IRS attack on the internet, all is well for me, since I was unable to file.
Everybody thinks that if they don't file (or pay) by April 15th, the IRS will come and sieze your assets on April 16th, but au contraire.
The site cannot handle the traffic, so nobody will get through anyway.
I now, routinely, file my taxes on April 17th, and the IRS never says anything about it.
Just relax...the government is not evil.
but to some people, computers and the Internet, definitely are.
Computers are slow, stupid robots.
And, don't get frustrated.
it is just mentally retarded computers are in control.

And, another thing.
I went on Facebook and discovered an old friend who apparently joined a cult.
I'm not concerned, but I am fascinated.
The cult is a religion based on money
and I have often joked and wrote about this - even to the point of starting my imaginary
CASH COW CONSULTING
practice
but she is for REAL>
its fine.
whatever.
People are finally beginning to realize that money comes from god.
which god, I'm not sure.
oh, by the way - still homeless,
Day 9
and counting
and
yet, staying comfortably with a family member who's head exploded when he tried to pay his taxes today.
Cheers
Nora
