the return of pomelocat.

sabs — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 22:45:01 -0700

i got my hairdid yesterday, and once again laura worked her magic. originally she thought we'd go choppier bangs, but in the end i made her round them out. what i can i say, i can't seem to get enough of that pomelocat.

Starting the weekend right

sabs — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 23:10:05 -0700

After a wild work week I decided to join the gals for a bit of the
happy hour. Most of the office took off way early to soak up the sun.
I couldn't get out that early, but once my side of the office was
empty, I decided to split too (sorry development team!). To my
surprise Molly, Karli, Shannon, Lauren, and Becky were still hanging
out at metropol. So dk (who left when I did) and I joined them. It was
a nice way to start the weekend indeed.

Hope you all have a good one!

hello? are you there? no? yes? okay. tomorrow? tuesday? wait, do what now?

the past week has felt like an odd game of telephone. every time i think i know what's going on, someone says that's not what was said. actually they don't say that's not what was said, they just say something slightly different. it's like we're all on the same page, but reading from a different paragraph. i think we've just about got it sorted out, but well you never can tell.

all i know is that's making me frustrated. i hate it when things are difficult when they clearly don't need to be.

in other news, the shopstyle team apparently had a huge success last night. they're a rocking team, so i'm glad to hear the whole event went down as planned! randall even represented by stealing my stolen hat. go team shopstyle!

ps. this is what randall thinks i'm like when i get home talking about work he doesn't care about. also, he had my dinner held hostage on the grill and homegirl here was hungry. and talking about herself as a homegirl in third person. obviously.

i was supposed to have today off

sabs — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 23:41:41 -0700

instead, i found myself in the office sorting out items and dealing with ridiculousness. it's not exactly the day i had imagined. but well, whatcha gonna do?

in other news, both harry potter lego and fat princess pirates and ninjas came out today. nerds.

Material girl

sabs — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 23:05:06 -0700

I ventured into the garage to raid the fabric stash, but sadly nothing
down there worked for the project I have in mind. Some people would go
to the store for more supplies. Some people would leave all this in a
pile and never get around to doing anything. Guess which option I'll
take?

Ps. Did you feel the earthquake this morning?

catch a happy birthday samshrew wave

sabs — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:33:55 -0700

today was an action-packed, not to mention snack-packed, day full of samshrew birthday fun. first off samshrew, chris, and sushi dog picked randall and i up for a jaunt across the bay. the east bay spca is putting on these special events all summer long, and today was a free kayaking with your puppins day. randall and i sadly don't have a puppins, so we paid our dues and rented a kayak.

afterwards (and before) we gorged on tasty treats from the jack london farmer's market (the fish tacos there = awesome). and then we headed back to the city where chris picked up a cake from his pals at Sugar Beat Sweets. we got stuck in a little bit of pride traffic (fun fact, i witnessed a cop break up a fight, and then take down a dude who wouldn't cooperate -- come on, he took a swing at the cop!), but eventually ended up at samshrew & chris's house.

we had many hours to kill (dinner reservations weren't until 8), so we snacked, played a round of life -- randall won, also it's pretty different to the version i had when i was growing up -- drank wine, and ate birthday cake. for the record, it was a vegan cake, was vanilla with strawberry, and even randall -- who is skeptical of anything vegan and normally only eats chocolate cake -- asked for a full slice. translation: it was tasty.

finally, after goofing about for a while more, we hopped into the car, miraculously found parking in the castro on pride weekend, and headed to frances for dinner. folks, i made these reservations weeks (maybe months) ago. it is the hot new must-eat at place in the city and after eating there, i can totally see why. the food was delicious, the service friendly and on top of it, and they even seated us 15 minutes early. plus, they knew it was samshrew's birthday, so they brought us out the most fantastic housemade salted chocolate cookies with humphry slocombe ice cream sandwiches in the end. oh and did i mention? they serve the house wine by the ounce. they bring a small pitcher that has ounce markings on the side, and they only charge you for what you drink. simply amazing. i can't wait to go back.

happy birthday samshrew!

sunday drivers and crooked streets.

sabs — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 23:17:27 -0700

last night, we found ourselves one block from the infamous Lombard Street, and Randall mentioned that he'd never driven down it before. Naturally we made up for that and drove down it right then (it was past 11 and the line was gone). Once we were done, Randall told me that while Lombard was more picturesque, he was positive that Vermont felt windier. I tried to make him take me then so we could see, but he said we should wait until the morning, especially because he didn't think all this windiness went with all the wine i had been drinking.

So we went today, and according to wikipedia (which, as you know, is never debatable) Vermont is indeed more "crooked." You can see for yourself:

the annoyance of the words.

sabs — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 23:10:34 -0700

here's an outtake from tomorrow's actually nevermind project. sometimes i forget about the words and end up having to take pictures at home. it's a huge shame, mostly because they end up being self-portraits, randall, or random trinkets from my house. it's particularly annoying this time, because yesterday i had a really good photo at my feet, but i forgot about the words. i always forget about the words.

in other news man things seem busytown.

Guess who (probably) has jury duty?

sabs — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 17:20:06 -0700

One hint: it's not me. Mostly I thought this would be a funny way to
notify Randall of the jury letter that arrived today. Something tells
me he's not going to appreciate it, especially since he probably
doesn't read this site and you will all know before him. But it's been
a slow day of gardening, cooking, and grooming, and who wants to read
about that?

Randall likes voting though, so he probably won't mind paying the
price. Also he loves law and order so he'll probably secretly love
being on a jury.

So hey Randall, i think you might have jury duty. A scary official
looking court letter with jury room info on the outside arrived for
you today. Just fy(and everyone else's)i!

hrmmm.

sabs — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 23:17:00 -0700

i hate making decisions, they make my brow (which omfg needs some grooming) wrinkle up into something awful.

in other news, my skin looks plastic in a weird way.

ps. thanks for drinks melis, sorry your bag broke.
pps. dk, i can't believe the ggb toll story.
