Writing now from a 19th level deck of the Westin Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood Florida. Looking over the edge to the Atlantic Ocean. Just finished my third HorseFeather. I never want to leave Florida. I am 100% sympathetic now to all the people who live in dangerous areas like this. Hurricaines may come and go...but the weather here is worth the risk! I'm a bit naucious from all the sun these past 2 days...or perhaps its the remainders of my hangover from last night. The next drink should right that ship. Its terribly humid and thunderstorms are passing near us.
Sitting next to me on the balcony is Mark. We met last night in West Plam Beach. We drove to this hotel as his father works here for some sort of business consultant and therefore gets free rooms whenever he fancies them. Nothing made me as happy as smoking a fag with the windows down and the air rushing over us. Stereo blasting Radiohead's OK Computer!
Mark invited me to spend a day playing with Reason (a sound/beat producing program). We got here at 11am today. Made a few samples on his Powerbook - then started getting fried foods and whiskey delievered to the room. I may go down to the beach if the weather calms - or to the incredible pool that has a pool with a clear bottom that cascades down into the second tropical pool. Luxury!
Mark - for the record, as he wants me to write a bit about him - is 25, his parents are from Denmark, but have lived in Miami his whole life. He is very tall, sandy blond with green eyes, very handsome, and also quite gentle in temperment. (He just smiled at that) I think this instant chemistry will become a friendship that will link our travels again.
