Below is a sketch of the home I will be leaving when I head to San José. Since the end of September I’ve been living in a trailer on Young Cove, part of Steamboat Island directly across Eld Inlet from the college. I ended up moving here because over the summer I had endured a debilitating series of events that left me homeless for a few weeks and living in a garage for a month. The trailer itself is not much more pleasant. It leaks. It has ants. It has rats. It’s far from the college and very far from the rest of town. It has quite a nice view out the window, which I will try to sketch and post before I leave. The neighbors aren’t fond of music either, which has made it very difficult to practice.

Anyways, I’m moving out when I go south, and hopefully I’ll be able to arrange something by the time I’m back (the guy who I was going to get a place with bailed out). While in San José, I’ll be staying partly with my dad in the suburban neighborhood of Willow Glen, and partly with my mom in the Santa Cruz Mountains between the south bay and the coast (sketches to come).
