lately

I have been in front of a computer so much during the day, I just don't want to see it when I get home. Also, I have spent a lot of time in the last week or so trying to finish a super long book club book. This means I don't blog very much since blogging at work is theoretically frowned upon. There is a back log of activities, thoughts, events I could write about.. but I won't.

In lieu of a list of what I have been up to, I will instead link you to a specific blog post Crosby sent me that is particularly illuminating and that pretty much sums it all up. Happy Friday!

Where I was yesterday.

Where I was today.

(a)musing: small things

• Went to a site in Montara, Ca this morning. It was foggy and cold and I have never seen so many banana slugs in my life. This one was in love with a primrose.
• Flickr apparently doesn't allow you to mass download your own photos. This is ridiculous. There are a ton of pirate type programs you can download to help you do it, but I have had bad luck with that before. My flickr account has all the pictures I lost when my hard drive crashed (no, not backed up, yes, facepalm). I ordered two CDs from QOOP, a service partnered with Flickr that will do it for you. It cost me $35. Waste of money? No. I'll save that much by not renewing Flickr this year. Download any pics you want now.
• I am going to clean my apartment from top to bottom this weekend. I considered paying someone to do it (I have only done that once; it was glorious), but since I just spent $35 on photos and August was a heavy retail therapy month, I'll be scrubbing away myself.
• I leave for vacation soon. To say I am excited would be the understatement of this new decade.
• I watched all of LOST. I thought it was fantastic and beautiful.

Friend.

I miss seeing her everyday.

In this city

Summer was today in San Francisco. People are outside. A runner went by me when I was watching the sunset at Fort Point. He said it's a nice day. I said it's beautiful. Tourists on the bridge did not realize their good fortune. Everyone had their windows open; I could hear Mad Men playing and smell pork cooking when I walked from my car. My apartment was 80 degrees. I love it.

Me.

I went and saw a movie this weekend. It was rad.
