Down by the bay Part III:
The day begins with lunch (Chirashi!) @ Sushi Tomi!
And sea animals at night
Cheesing it in front of the Cali Academy of Sciences
Down by the Bay Part II:
Gregoire’s infamous potato puffs and seasonal menu, their lamb was so-so but their salmon on puff pastry (not shown) was devoured before a picture could be had
And then cupcakes!
and then gelato… at this point my stomach was about to burst..
But there’s still dinner! Dinner was a slice of pizza split between us at the Cheeseboard! With IBC rootbeer… yum

Down by the Bay...
Day 1: First brunch at Zazies! Omelette du jour was so good, esp the bacon inside!
And a whole lot of vintage shopping later, we were hungry for Burmese food @ Burmese Superstar!!
And a lychee mojito!
End the night with a game of trivia at the Bitter End bar!
and a sam adams
Hot hot heat
Coffee ice cream and a mountain of sprinkles, mmm

Wok Tales
A wave of nostalgia washed over me in the midst of eating steamed spinach and fried rice; a shabby unintended replication on my part, of a special lunch my grandfather prepared during my childhood.

(apropos of nothing, I stumbled upon this while doing some research on Lance Armstrong - don’t ask - tonight. Found it thought-provoking.)
Alzheimers-
so i went out to my kitchen
saw the trash was emptied and thought “gee what a nice roommate she threw out the trash twice in one week… almost makes up for the fact she didn’t put a new roll of toilet paper on the roller” and then… i walked back into my room and remembered… I was the one that threw out the trash.

I’m thinking that this is a season for flings and freedom. I have an ex-boyfriend in California I still love, an old hookup I lust for each morning in between states of sleep, and more than one boy in Boston to look forward to come fall. Relationships are too fatiguing for a late-riser.
I want fluff off the tops of cake and nothing...

16 and Pregnant- Entertainment
Trying to write the code for a program that will spectacularly end the quarter… and I am completely mesmerized at this show and horrified a little. Children giving birth to children.

Choking. I’m choking
on words! When will there be sentences?
May I?
So I could dignify myself
with a response when you ask
me, my name.
I have a world of a constellation
between my eyes
so I am choking—
telling to tell you
so fast
the brightness of such stars
embedded in the words
that are escaping haphazardly
from my mouth: a stutter, wayward.
Damn.
Shamefully...

– I like this quote, but I’m a little irritated to see it going around Tumblr without correct attribution. The link from “word” above does not link to the source of this quote. In fact, this is part of a piece by Lena Chen called “The Patriarchy Wants A Lesson On Privilege 101”, found here at her blog...

Crying isn’t a cathartic release when you realize nothing you say or do will change the situation; it just becomes a gesture of helplessness.
