I must be the worlds most unlucky motorcyclist when it comes to flat tires. To day I punctured another tire on the way to work. That makes four in a little over a year. I am becoming an expert in plugging tires. It seems weird that I would have so many flats on my bike and not have a lot on my car, after all there is more tire surface on the road when I am on four wheels. Lets see if I can mak...
I have a new crush. On this guy. Yes, it's true. I have the hots for the guy in the Nissan Versa commercial. Maybe it's the fact that he's so smart with his money (in these tough economic times, and at my age, this goes in the 'plus' column). Perhaps it's the hot music that gives him more of a 'latin lover' vibe instead of a 'short, suburban white guy' vibe. It could be the way he waves...
Okay, I HAD to gank this from handtalker. Norman Bates While you might seem mild-mannered on the outside, you are more than capable of lashing out when you feel like you have to. Is it because you’ve been hurt before? Anything but harmless, you’re probably the type who ends up getting what they want in the long run. And while you don’t usually mean to hurt people, mistakes happen from time t...
While killing time this evening, I decided to watch my copy of BBC SKYOne's production of The Hogfather from 2006, which is an adaptation of the Terry Pratchett novel of the same name. I'd forgotten how smitten I was by Michelle Dockery (seen left) who portrayed one of my literary crushes, Susan Sto Helit, the granddaughter of Death (who Ms. Dockery is portraying to the left). I've recently ...
Yup! Summer and its stinking, sticky heat is finally here, and I'm melting like butter on a hot toast. Speaking of toast, I'm keeping cool with a nice margarita made with Jose Cuervo tequila, so cheers! I never was a fan of cocktail drinks until our last visit to Canada (more of a red wine and beer afficionado.) We took a little trip with my parents and headed down to Lake George in New York. T...
I've said it a million times!!! Fall is absolutely my favorite time of the year. I love the thought of getting out the warmer clothes and having fun getting warm and cozy. Of course it's not quite COLD here yet but the anticipation is lots of fun!! I love to make jewelry and so lately I have been having fun matching my jewelry with what I'm wearing. Tonight I came up with some complete look...
Friday before last, Beth and I enjoyed a really great meal and some fabulous wine at Cav Wine Bar & Kitchen. There are a lot of (often mediocre) wine bars in the city but Cav stands out featuring more than 40 diverse wines by the 5 oz glass or 2 oz taste along with a limited but still eclectic New American and Middle Eastern-inspired small plates menu. For Beth and me who love to try differen...
Fresca has been on my "to eat @" list for a while now, ever since Ryan told me it was one of his favorites. There are three locations in the city and I checked out the one in Noe Valley with Anita a couple weeks back. The Noe Valley location had a really warm feel, rusty copper-colored walls around an open central kitchen. Service was solid; friendly, relaxed and never rushed, aligned with t...
The Ballet: Alice in Wonderland
In my continuing support for the Arts this week, I went with some friends to an "Inside the Director's Studio" evening at the Sacramento Ballet. The company is rehearsing to perform Alice in Wonderland in a week and a half, and they invite the community to watch some of the dances in the studio, and to learn more about how the production is put on. It's a really interesting behind-the-scenes l...
Today one of the roommate's and i realized it was grocery shopping time, and just to prove that we never get to shopping center very often, we hit up every store EXCEPT the supermarket! well, not until three hours later, we did. i suppose my motif was "strawberry fruit basket", in honor of today unseasonably warm October day. now, if only i'd have remembered to throw on some red lipstick... dar...
