SF, hi.

A few days ago I went down to San Francisco for a bit of a visit. I was looking forward to walking around, eating good food (Mexicannnn!) and seeing and hanging out with friends.

I went via Seattle, it was so snowy that day. I saw so many kinds of weather in one day - the cold, clearness of Vancouver - the white snow blizzardness of Seattle - and the brisk sun of San Francisco.

Yo SF!

Walked around. Oh look, pink rabbit cactus.

Oh what am I looking at? Teeny tiny succulents.

A pretty Mexican Bakery.

This was the first thing that I saw when I went to the SFMOMA. I was in total awe. It felt so good because I had also just gotten in for free. The art museum visiting gods were on my side.

My favorite piece that day.

This is a part of the roof of Mission Chinese Food. If you want great service - go here. For real! I wanted this place to be really good - especially since I broke my vegetarianism for it - but it was alright. We ordered Chicken Rice and it kind of bugged me that they mixed the chicken into the rice (in small pieces too!) and that it was missing the most key part of Chicken Rice - the dipping sauce. I am all for blasphemous Asian food - but this wasn't satisfying enough.

The roof of a taqueria where I briefly fell asleep in.

So happy underneath a bush on a street.

This cat was funny.

Nice spaghetti packaging.

It was raining most of the time we were there. We took advantage of the one sunny break and sat at Dolores Park with some crackers, cheese and funny drinks (Cola Chai for me and a Lavender Drink for Jane). Many a cute dogs there.

Great novelty: Buying alcohol from a 24 hour Safeway.

Passed by this sad lion on my way out of SF and decided to share this moment with it.

Thanks SF! I had fun (I sure liked your abundance of taquerias, cheap drinks, many used bookstores, and food) and we'll be seeing each other soon again I hope!

the age of wonderment.

There was a dreamcatcher making night over at Jane's. So many! So pretty! And ahem, what an...interesting juxtaposition there is in this picture.

Mine above my bed.


Keeping all the bad ones out and the good ones through. Although I have been having super deep sleeps lately and can't remember any of my dreams.

Apparently dreamcatchers aren't supposed to last forever. Being made out of twigs and yarn, they dry up and fall apart. They're supposed to protect children from nightmares until they grow into "the age of wonderment".

That sounds nice. "The age of wonderment". Dear dreamcatchers above my bed: Please see me through until then! (Which I am guessing is now).

Glorious Pizza Party

So everyone who reads this blog probably already knows about Glorious Pizza Party and how it's a pizza blog that I do with Jane and that it's us having a pizza party every week. BUT! You should go over there again and take a look cauuuuuseeee, the banner Jane made (out of real tomato paste and flash!) is cool and also the background with the pizza and party hats is really cool too and they're both new and probably weren't there the last time you were.

And until you go over there, here's some pizzas we made:



GLORIOUS PIZZA PARTY!

A Most Curious Event

Poster design I did for Curious Oyster Catering Company for their upcoming event, A Most Curious Event at Olla Flowers. It sounds like it's going to be a really nice night, flowers everywhere, and oysters! Gawd, since becoming a vegetarian, I have really singled out the meats that I miss, and oysters is definitely one of them. I could eat dozens in one sitting and not feel disgusting. I'll probably cave at this event and eat a bunch - JOIN ME!

Ahem, the invites:


If you want to go, RSVP at curiousoystercatering@gmail.com!

Speaking of curious things, get a load of this punch that I bought to cut out the circles for the invites:

Whooaaaaa, isn't this thing the funniest/craziest? So massive for doing one task. But I gotta say, this thing, it has a LIFETIME WARRANTY and has the "Ease-of-use Commendation" by the Arthritis Foundation. This thing punches like a dream, I have never had so much satisfaction/fun from making circles out of paper.

!!

Someone give me a project that needs 2 inch circles, I've got just the thing.
