"if you're going to san francisco... wear flowers in your hair..."
so i just came back from another trip to sf. i think i must fly more than anyone else who doesn't fly for business. next week i'm going to nyc. and then i'm going to go to bermuda from nyc. yes, i'm definitely spoiled. i've quit my job and am now spending my time, relaxing and enjoying the sights of the world.
in any case, this weekend's trip to sf was very interesting, if not tiring. i ran around the entire time, looking at apartments, seeing friends, and was able to get a better grasp of the city and the people with whom i might live. when i got in on friday, i went to maggie's place and walked around inner sunset looking for apartments. roger came into town and met me for dinner at kitaro sushi, and then we met up with yulan and dennis for dessert at a cute little place near 19th and moraga.
on saturday, i did more apartment hunting, and then maggie, marla, and amy and i went shoe shopping and shopping through macy's. jason and nikhil met up with us, and when it finally stopped raining (yay!!!) i went down to inner sunset and had dinner with davidz at house on 9th and irving, and then we had dessert at tart to tart. we then called up gwen and chatted for a few hours at canvas. i then went home and promptly passed out =).
sunday, more apartment hunting, then i went back to maggie's, and then had dinner at tempura house. then i met up with gwen and nitin for adaptation. *that* is an interesting movie. i liked the first 2/3 of the movie and then the last 1/3 was really cliched and a bit too predictable. it totally didn't jibe with the creativity of the first 2/3.
monday, did more shopping with maggie on haight and got crepes. she got this kickin' pair of boots from shoe biz... they had this really funky heel that thinned out and then got thicker at the base. it's amazing the stuff she can pull off. i guess i just don't have the bold attitude to wear really creative things like that. then i took the caltrain down to see chris snow and got to talk to vinod the entire way down on the phone. that rocked. i love that boy. chris made me dinner, we talked about life, and then we watched hero. his roomate andy made us martinis, and i got drunk. passed out =0.
tuesday morning, chris and i met cohene for breakfast at stacks and then i got on the plane... the ride back was insane. it took forever because our plane got stuck at minneapolis while a thunderstorm raged over us. it was a long wait, but there is something so powerful and calming about thunderstorms, and i watched as the lightning crashed about us. i almost liked being stuck there, because i got a fantastic view of the ominous, gray clouds and the thin, flashes of lightning that would light up the sky.
anyhow, i got home last night, called marsha and talked to her for an hour. passed out at 1:30 and got up at 11:30. i am the goddess of laziness =).
this is a boring entry. i'm a little too tired right now to be reflective about the weekend, so maybe i'll elaborate more at a later time. it was a very good trip; i learned a lot more about myself once again.
