  Really, we can quit anytime we want to.

  Posted on October 16, 2008 by Dan in kitties, wine.

  Lily is adorable. What is she sitting in you ask? Our anniversary present to ourselves. That’s actually 2 wine racks, every slot in which were accounted for when they arrived. See below. So, with our ridiculous wine habit, we had long ago outgrown our IKEA wine rack* that we bought when we first moved. All […]

  FRUSTRATION. And Portland.

  Posted on October 14, 2008 by Dan in friends, travel, wine.

  I’m supposed to be online grading journals, but the website is really slow. I feel like I’m waiting for each page to load like I have dial-up internet (remember when you used to sign on with AOL and you had the dial-up and connect sounds memorized? Ah, the olden days) So, perhaps I will fill […]

• Balance

  Posted on October 9, 2008 by Dan in random.

  I know I’ve been talking a lot about reading, and how I want to read 50 books this year (I’m 42 books in!) but I want to reassure you that Dan and I are also rotting our brains with plenty of TV. Sweet Jebus, I was realizing today how many shows we’ve been taping lately. […]

  Thinking of Titles Late at Night is Awful.

  Posted on October 8, 2008 by Dan in San Francisco.

  I was clicking around to a lot of the blogs I regularly read tonight and found myself getting frustrated that a majority of them haven’t been updated lately. OH THE IRONY. Lots of fun things have been happening since my flurry of posts a few weeks ago. There was an enormous book sale, which totally […]

  Other California goings on…

  Posted on September 26, 2008 by Dan in Berkeley, Cal, stupid people.

  I am on a posting ROLL people! I hope you’re as impressed with me as I am with myself. So what do I actually have to talk about… *I’m 38 books into my goal of reading 50 books this year. It’s feeling very accomplishable at this point. Plus, books are moving out of the house […]

  Because urban hikes have feelings too…

  Posted on September 26, 2008 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.

  Well, I realized that after last night’s entry, I completely neglected a hike we had done in June, the same day we had gone to the SF Pride Parade. As opposed to the hike of doom, this hike was nice and short, and not nearly as traumatizing. However, our circumstances were again not ideal, as […]

  Bernal Heights City Walk

  Posted on September 25, 2008 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.

  A few weekends ago (before the arrival of the CC en masse) we had grand plans for our weekend, which included venturing to a new brunch place that Dan had actually heard of. This was a big deal, because usually I’m the one doing the researching of places I want to try, or explore or […]

• Am in a Funk

  Posted on September 19, 2008 by Dan in random, work.

  …because I didn’t get enough sleep last night. Mainly because I had to wake up at 5:30 to take Dan to the airport this morning so he could take a business trip to St. Louis. That was fine, until I got back, tried to go back to sleep and my cats…pretty much refused to let […]

  Lists. How I love thee.

  Posted on September 15, 2008 by Dan in family, friends, lists, wine.

  Things that were amazing: 1. Having so many of our friends here for ridiculous amounts of good times. It was nice to be able to really be around people we love in a place we love (for those of you who are slow, that place is here in Berkeley) 2. Getting to take said people […]
