FOUND: rosamundes

There is a reason why everyone tells me to go to Rosamundes....while I'm in SF, I now get it. Their lunch special was special. The sausages, plentiful and satisfying. It's Wurstkuche's predecessor.


$3 Fat tire or a $1 Pbr For lunch.


Now I must confess that Wurstkuche made a better copy, but this place suits me just fine while I'm in SF. It's blocks from my brother's place and next to the BART.


I ate everything.


No seriously, Everything.

LOST: iPhone case

Anonymous requested that my cell case, well, get Lost.

I agree with anonymous that the photos are subpar as a result of the bubble effect, though I have grown so attached. Seeing as though it is made of wood, I guess I should at least feel guilt free when I dispose of it in the campfire I will be building next week in Michigan.


I will still be sad to see it go up in flames, in the meantime, bubbles will abound.

FOUND: Dolores and her Park

Spent two afternoons solid in the park. Ate two solid pints of bi-rite.




Need to get better at group-self portraits.







It felt like vacation, nothing to do but soak up the sun with friends, drink hipster beer, eat gourmet 'scream , and watch old shirtless burnt out hippies gyrate their bodies to Shakira. Bliss.

FOUND: village pizzeria SF

I was tempted. I resisted.

Wonder if it lives up to the LA branch. Hey, they deliver, I might just be finding out tonight post drinks.

FOUND: cupcakes in a cone

Milk. What will they think of next, I don't know but I will continue to be there to try it.


This bakery is dangerously within walking distance from my home.

FOUND:swensens

Icecreaming my mouth... Post meal delight.



Mint chip, with a geriatric cone, and done!

FOUND: trolly time

When in SF, one of the tourist essentials: ride a trolly or cable car... I hadn't been since I was seven, so it was a must do this time around.


I saddled into an interior seat, as the money seats were all taken.


The biggest mistake I made was that I was packed in a bench seat next to a molester.
Yup, a molester. Just my luck.

At first I thought it was my seatmate's bag grazing my upper leg, as 1/2 of it was draped on my lap.

Nope, not a bag.
Not a bag at all.


I looked up and reached for what was my saving grace, the call bell. I got off the trolly and vowed I would never get back on one again. Chester, the trolly molester, I know who you are and I'm coming after you. This time with a tazer.

FOUND: SF roadtrip

Brooks was the conductor.


We saw fire trucks


And Garlic trucks


I got bored and had fun with a sticker I found in Brooks' mini.


I took an artistic shot



I took self portraits


I took Brooks portraits



We got there in one piece, my orchid plant got there in two pieces. That's another story.

LOST: Uncle Frank

Sadly I just got word that Uncle Frank from Jimmy Kimmel passed away. He will be missed from my favorite show. He was an Uncle to us all. The world will be a lot less funny without him around.

FOUND: Long way

THERE IS A LONG WAY TO LOVE...

FOUND: Winnie the piñata

On my second to last day at work, I saw a Winnie the Pooh piñata for $5 at a charity shop and had to have it. I had no occasion for it yet, but I figured occasions surface all the time.


So I brought Winnie home, gave him a tour and realized I had already grown so attached to him that it seemed like filling him with candy and beating the shit out of him would be wrong. It would be like I was doing it to my brother.

Is it weird I'm now considering going to the piñata district in downtown to buy a spare piñata? Or maybe I should wait, Winnie could be a bad houseguest, you never know...

FOUND: buffalo wild wings

I ventured into the wild west that is in Burbank with my coworkers to enjoy the wing'd offerings at Buffalo Wild Wings.


The handy wipes are handy and readily at hand for your dirty hand needs.


So many sauces, best to try them all..


We generated quite a mess.


Char was my tour guide through the whole experience, I couldn't have done it without her expertise.


Everyone was pleased with our final supper/lunch restaurant selection.... My lips are still slightly numb but it was clearly worth it.

FOUND: name labels

You know someone is a real friend when they spend time making labels with your name of it.

Jean is that friend! Bless her buttons.


I was so excited to label the shit out of my office drinking receptacles.

I used one for my water bottle and the other for my morning coffee/afternoon tea/nightly hot toddy mug.

FOUND: perch

Perched above the downtown skyline. Perch. Looks like this bird has found a new nesting place.

FOUND: urbano

Katie and I ate pizza in an urban part of downtown, more specifically at Urbano.

She indulged me and agreed to enter a virtually empty restaurant (a sure sign of it's quality) that carried a mediocre yelp review (a surer sign of it's quality). I was open to disappointment, and it didn't disappoint.

It was surprisingly satisfying, though when you split a wood fired pizza and a burrata salad, paired with two beers, it's pretty hard to fail in my book.


The service was perfection, as we were one of ten people in the restaurant, we were well taken care of. I was ravenous, so i was keen on how quickly we were delivered food.


We had generous "taster" Pours of beers we had never had before...


And the pizza, it was pretty damn delectable, quite frankly didn't really want to share after I bit in. I admit, I took all the largest slices and my sister was kind enough to turn a blind eye to my aggressively hungry hands.


A sobrassata and pepper pie.

Ahhh. Sometimes Yelp is wrong.

FOUND: sunflower power

Pool parties will never get old to me, mostly because I was one of the few in my neighborhood who grew up without a pool. One might falsely assume I only befriended people who had access to their own personal clorinated waters... That assumption might only be slightly false.

Let's be honest, all I ever wanted was to have a pool party for my birthday. Things haven't changed much, All I want now is just that. Others peoples parties work for now, but I smell an ojai birthday party on the horizon. Piñata, pin the tail, bouncy castle, and a pool, all my birthday dreams coming true, 29 years later.


Meg, baker extraordinaire, whipped this vanilla on vanilla sunflower cake together.


I left my suit in ojai, so I went swimming in my dress. Why not go formal in the pool.

FOUND: stop stressing

Driving down my block this morning I was overcome with stress... Totally irrational stress considering I only have a week left of work on a show I love working on. Well I glanced up at my streets stop sign that told me to: Stop Stressing.



Advice received. I'm feeling better already.

FOUND: a seat with a view

The best thing to do in Ojai, sit together with a solid bottle(s) of white wine (from my parents collection, as my one bottle at my apt doesn't really a collection make).



Brooks came down all the way from SF, just to sit.


The best places are the ones that require the least amount of effort to enjoy.

FOUND: boules

Bennetts like to boule.


During the day



Into the night
