How are things on the West Coast?

You pull into the city, tired from the day's drive, and somehow find your way quickly to the hotel. You check in and take the elevator to your floor, sliding the plastic key through the lock to let yourself in. Bags get dropped just inside the door before you walk to the center of the room, glancing around. You walk to the sliding glass door, open it, and step out onto the balcony, relishing the cool, salty air that sprays up from the bay, less than a single city block away and dotted with sail boats, the downtown city center just a few block in the other direction. You remember the glaring neon sign reading "Sake Bar" that you saw on the way to the hotel, and you think about the nights to come as you look out at the sunset.

May have noticed a lack of posts lately (or maybe I'm just flattering myself), been busy playing Animal Crossing: City Folk and reading comic books. Much hot tuneage to come in the near future (or maybe I'll disappear again for a couple weeks, it's a toss-up). Also, attempted to register on hypem, so I'll see how that goes.
