The ocean

I remember this one grey day when I went to the ocean with Tyler and Matt... as I watched Tyler's silhouette dance across the waves, Matt brought pieces of crab shell and reassembled them around me until I had three whole crab skeletons sitting with me in the sand. I sat with my journal and wrote about the grey and the silhouettes and the crabs...

Thanksgiving

In Marin at Maureen and Dave's pretty little house on the ridge... :) A wonderful assortment of food, wine, new friends, and the best hosts you could ask for.

Rock me

They're playing Rock Me Amadeus at Burger Joint and it's totally making my day.

It's raining. We have these loaner umbrellas at the office, so I grabbed one as I left. I generally avoid umbrellas at all costs, but I didn't dress for the weather today so, in a effort to not be more cold than I already am, I decided staying dry was a good choice. The umbrella I grabbed is just about the biggest umbrella i've ever seen. I'm pretty sure the diameter matches my height.

Saturday fun

$1 wine tasting!

We got a bottle of EVIL (please read upside down) and Mark West, which is very close to Matt's stage name (Mark Winters).

Game night

At Brian's gorgeous apartment on twin peaks... I could completely get lost in the view from the balcony.

His apartment is filled with artwork and books - an incredible collection of inspiration, thought, and design.

A night full of delicious lental soup, french pressed coffee, wine, laughter, music, stories... Fun! Oh, and games. ;)

Obama

I tried to post this on Sunday, but I guess it didn't work.

Josh and I went to Everette and Jones for dinner and it was Obama crazy in there! Obama everywhere... :)

Oh yeah...

...and last night I met the famous V. Vale. He gave me some tips on Chinese food in North Beach. It's all about Chef Gia's (sp?) apparently. Ha! What a fun and fascinating man... :)

It's great to be in a place where you feel like art just moves all around you.

Out to lunch

I just found out there will likely be layoffs in our office. Whether my job is secure or not, this makes me really sad...

I'm taking a walk to get some air and to get some lunch. It feels like a perfect, clear, calm, autumn day outside.

Voting

It's a nice sunny day in Oakland. The line isn't too bad and people seem in good spirits.

Halloween night

Dinner with friends, then off to a great warehouse party! My costume didn't really work, I was supposed to be an anime character. :)
