“Fresh farmers market ingredients, herbs from the garden, and when we needed a lime or lemon for some tartness, I told him to go pick one from our tree in the yard! You really can’t beat that. ; )”

First storm I’ve been in in three years!
Spring Break 2012 with Krista G.
Monday: get here, drop stuff off, go on downtown loop: SF MOMA?, Ferry building, Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39. Cut down to Chinatown for dinner and North Beach for drinking and geeking out at Citylights Bookstore and Vesuvio—where the Beats published and hung out.
Tuesday: Bus to my school in the Marina and walk/run through Crissy field and its dogs :) and to the Golden Gate Bridge, across it, and back. Go home, shower, be lazy in the Castro and Mission, which is where I live.
Wednesday: Wednesday night is a weekly poetry slam in Berkeley that is really, really fun. It fills up fast though, so I was thinking we could just spend the day in Berkeley, checking out the university (they have a really cool art museum) and the area around it and then head to the bar to post up for the show! Josh will meet us there.
Thursday: Golden Gate Park—botanical gardens, tea garden, DeYoung Museum and/or Academy of Sciences, USF and Emily. Haight St? (Really, NBD, but I feel like you have to at least see it). Out in the mission with Josh and Oakland friends?
Friday: Get a car and on the way up, have breakfast at Cliffhouse? Go to Sutro baths (beautiful photo opp!). Go across the bridge and hike in the redwoods! And then, some friends might be having a barbecue up in Marin. Mucho sunshine! Possibly sleep in Oakland at Josh’s because he lives super close to the race.
Saturday: Race. I guess I’m registered, but I haven’t received any information about it. haha so I guess we just show up that morning and get the stuff. We will probably stay Friday night at Josh’s house because he lives a few blocks away from where the race starts. After the race, we can be be lazy somewhere or finish up anything we haven’t done. Try to run in sideways run, decide not to. Get race T-Shirts, take hot shower, go to Napa and wine taste!
Sunday: Probably preparing for school, from cool coffee shop to cool coffee shop. Cooking in Oakland for the week, getting Josh to take us to the airport. Crying because I don’t wanna go back.
Ok! I know that this is all very OCD and overwhelming, but I haven’t had time to enjoy San Francisco in so long, so I just wanted to make sure we do everything. Also, being carless necessitates planning things by area. Let me know if i missed anything.
See you tomorrow!!!!
After-work run to GGB and back :)
I’m really fucking happy. Really. :)

Fun weekend in SF with cousin Claire!
Does it mean
that I’m home in this City if I don’t think twice about wearing sweats out and about? Or do I just look homeless? Work on that.
“This is literature as sustenance. And it is commonplace in San Francisco, where the average annual per capita expenditure on books is perennially among the highest in the nation. Same goes for booze — according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, San Francisco is the only city that ranks in the top three for both (New York is ninth by both measures). Hence all the readings in bars.”

“Looking up, he announced that he was reading Henry Miller’s “Tropic of Cancer” in a single sitting. “I’m reading my way out of a breakup,” he explained. “I read books in cafes, then leave them behind when I’m done.”
