Berkeley

So, Bonnie and I met during our 4 week stay in Paris, France a couple years back. While we were there we used to invade Le Marais and go to this Falafel stand that was absolute heaven. I really do miss those falafels + Amourino gelato! She promised me she'd take me to this falafel place in her neighborhood in Berkeley. Saturday, I finally took the Bart and headed across the bay bridge for the first time. Here are a couple of photos from the trip and her pretty room.

Florence & The Machine

Be sure to blast the music from loud speakers.

Sunny

The sun came out today! One of my roommate's and I made the trek to Whole Foods to stock up. Remind me to wear comfortable shoes next time? But more importantly, remind me it's better to pay two dollars for the bus than attempt to walk 3 miles with groceries. I bought Soyrizo, since I had never tried it, and it was pretty good. Cooked some black beans and rice, now i just need my tortillas-Yes, I'm a mexi! Okay, now back to shoe shopping and watching So You Think You Can Dance on DVR. Please click on the following and watch  the most beautiful dance I've ever seen.

The City

"It's an odd thing, but anyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco. It must be a delightful city and possess all the attractions of the next world"
            - Oscar Wilde

"No city invites the heart to come to life as San Francisco does. Arrival in San Francisco is an experience in living"
     - William Saroyan

"The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco."            - Mark Twain

Dates with Blondie

Bonnie Sweet is one of my favorite people to explore the city with. Great things await for her in Italia-her future home.

A Song for Sunday:

Pose.

Reunion with Jee Bee

Lunch and a pitcher of Sangria @ Cha Cha Cha with a dear old friend. Shop, shop, shopping on Haight Street and then the Robyn concert. Wonderful day!

Robyn

Even though we didn't get to see robyn at mezzanine, she (thankfully!) played a free show at Amoeba's music and me and my friends got to be up front. She is so adorable- i love her. The quality of the video is pretty bad on my iphone but oh well! :) By the way, the guy standing next to me in the video was HIGH-larious.

Curly Sue

Curly Sue's trying to get used to the weather/wind. It's really just too damn cold! The nicest day we've had was this past sunday and luckily I had a chance to be out and about enjoying the sun. This second photo is of the kitchen in my current temporary apartment. I station myself there because I don't have a desk yet. My roomie, Theresa, has a cat and for those who know me well, know that I am NOT a cat person. Dog lover! But sometimes she sneaks into my room. This time she was actually nice to me so we took a photo on my cam. She totally loved it-can you tell?

A Song for Sunday

...Because I can't stop playing it after listening to it while out dancing. Love love.
