Are you going...

....to San Francisco?

The Ninja took us on a 9-hour journey to the Northlands of San Franny himself.

Surf Motel: one out of ten. So, ten out of ten.

I'ma stand on this bed.

Our room: completed by a shower with no handle.

Gallery strolling on Geary.

Favorite.

Boy + Bike = <3

Bold.

Ninjas.

Lombard! We went down the crooked street and everyone was taking photos of us.

Agreed.

My favorite part of San Francisco! The Sea Lions at Pier 39!

Hey, Jude.

I rode a PANDA on a Merry-go-Round (my favorite activity of all-time), and it was epic.

DOMINATION!

We had an absolutely amazing adventure, with so many fantastic stories to make the 9-hour motorcycle trips completely worth-it.

A few things

1. Ryan and I went sea kayaking today! It was very fun. A gorgeous afternoon - we went all around the harbor and I felt like I was rowing a gondola through Venice: all the beach houses on the water, birds flying overhead, boats sailing and puttering around. It was fun to read all the names of the ships and to wave as we passed boats and other kayakers. Fun!

2. Life in California has been awesome and I feel so lucky to be here. Sometimes I get frustrated because I am broke and invisible, but I am learning to accept that this "transition" is not a transition - it's happening NOW and I am meant to enjoy the moments within it right now as well.

3. I have an audition for HAIR this coming Friday! The production is being put on by a small theatre company in Santa Barbara and the show will be at the Center Stage Theatre up there. I'm realllly excited and I hope I get a callback so that I can participate in the workshop and meet some new actors.... gahhh...

Monday mornings

If there is one thing I have learned about being a cashier, it is this:

You do not want to be the cashier between a customer and his purchase before 8am on a Monday morning. When the line is too long, or the price seems a bit high because the cashier forgot to discount your plant that is 50% off, please do not take out your Monday morning rage on your cashier.

Again: Being a cashier is not for the faint of heart. You must be strong.

Unless you are a barista giving that same customer his morning cup of coffee. That cashier is forgiven for anything, but a hardware store cashier...? It's over. He hates you forever.
