Dear Penelope,

in addition to the letter, please find the enclosed pictures: you'll note that the presence of the man was elevated from weird guy, to creepy guy, to possible stalker/pedophile and or nude enthusiast. as he kept pacing within 20ft of us, going up toward his bag or down toward the shore, engaging in pumping up and down motions that looked like pushups and various half hearted stretching moves, and was certainly not wearing anything under the towel. he clearly won out over the gladiator model we saw with her buttcheek implants, and 10pack abs, the 4 bikini models and the couple who was stoned and making out intermittently when they could muster the strength, and the chick with the guitar, oh and that group of guys wearing speedos and the asian family. i can't say that i'll come back to this beach. possibly only if i'm ready to absorb and write about the freakish energy surrounding this stretch of sand. excellent views be damned. further down you will see how excellent the view can be.
they did eventually move out of my way so i could get the perfect picture, but still:
anyway, it was a good day. i read the entire omnibus1 of buffythevampireslayer GN, and added that glow back to my already amazingly tan skin. i capped the night off at the malibu ralphs grocery store, where i got fresh carved beef tritip and fresh berries. callie got some tiny package of cuscos for dinner but i can't talk about that in relation to how really wonderful my food was. oh also i got the perfect dress. breaking my creditcard rule of the last few weeks. it was worth it right? i mean if its not i will totally take it back. but can you imagine curly hair- either a bold or subdued necklace and a colorful wrap? i'm just saying. tra la la la la.
right now i'm watching 24. which i've avoided for a long time but thought i'd give it a try. damned catchy suspensful plots. my head is sort of full with other things and with this on i can't manage a sentence. i'm hypnotized. so i'll just enclose the necklaces below. though my favorite quote from hour 5 is: "i've tried so hard to keep the wall up between my work and my family. and now the wall is coming down and i don't know what to do." *snarf*gag* oh and the wife says, "thank god you're here. don't leave me. don't ever leave me again." "i wont."... ha. or: " you know what we should do when this is all over, take that trip up the coast to canada like we always talked about."... haha. god i hope the writing gets better. i might be reading a book whenever i smell dialogue coming on the screen. anywhozille.

this is danica, she's looking skeptical bcs i'm sizing the length and not really showing her what the whole awesomeness is looking like.
this is autumns:
this is julies:this is wendys: i promised her more flowers in the future.

Hmm. My face kind of says it all in that one picture, huh? Maybe he was wearing a Speedo? (We can only hope.)

Really? The people traumatized you that much? It's just not very long of a beach for everyone to spread out though.

The couscous was delicious. ;) And nutritious.

Wait, did you make the necklaces? I thought you didn't do jewelry?

The dress is fabulous, as are the beach photos! Of the man! Hahahaha! Loves it. Um, so as far as my necklace goes, which obviously you'll make for me, I'm going to need something nickel-free, soooo...preferably something like that last one, with the ribbon? That would be great, thanks. Though they're all rad.

The 24 quotes made me laugh out loud. When will they mention something about Jack basking in the sun like an animal, is what I want to know.

have i seen you wear that fantastical amazing garden party 50's robins egg blue dress? its fab, keep it at all costs!
also, love my flower and i think the silk ribbon was too much for it, so i'm returning it to its pool blue satin ribbon. : D
