Dude! Sweet! DUDE! SWEET!

Ahem.

You know how all of a sudden your cat will go ballistic, puff out his tail, start poinging sideways and attacking random atoms that have the misfortune to be in his way?

That's my brain every once in a while when I realize I live in California.

I mean, I know I live in California, as evidenced by the whole 415 thing, as well as the running-past-the-ocean thing, as well as the not-Fringing I'm doing. But there's the knowing, and then there's the grokking, and clearly my comprehension is like unto molasses, because I still get surprised by the simple fact of my geography.

Ah, well. At least it makes my head an interesting place to be.

Don't worry about it; me, I'v been in the States for eleven years and occasionally it still makes me boggle.

I've been out here for almost 10 years, and I still do the same thing.

I have those moments too. Every now and then, something about the way the light hits the buildings, or the crowds, or just the noise of the city will hit me and I'll realize I live in New York. And I love it here.

Me too. 7 years, New York.
