Make an advent calendar (#35)
Posted on March 21, 2011 by KK in 100 things.I’m honestly not sure why I wanted an advent calendar so badly – bad enough that it ended up on my list. I say it’s because I wasn’t allowed to have one when I was a kid, which I don’t think is true. I’m sure if I had really put my heart into getting one, […]

California Academy of Sciences
Posted on March 15, 2011 by KK in San Francisco.Quite the museum. It has a rainforest, an aquarium, a planetarium, a living roof, and also regular museum type things. If you come visit (WHEN you come visit) we’ll take you to see it. Also, it’s right up the street from one of our favorite bars, bonus. True story. Seahorse. This is how the Bay […]

Schlep is a fun word to say.
Posted on March 1, 2011 by KK in work.Dan and I have the same job. Which requires living on campus. We work at different universities (he is at Cal Maritime, I am still at UC Berkeley).

Welcome.
