On girls and boys
I'm not allowed (nor would I want) to share identifying info about the kids i hang out with on Thursdays. (You know, other than the fact that they're kind of awesome.) But this particular time around I have to share with you all how baffled I am. There is one kid im working with (let's just say their name is Pat) and in all honesty I can't tell you if it's a tomboyish girl or a beautiful boy and it's sort of driving me in insane. It doesn't really matter, the kid is rad either way. It's just that my brain is so curious. And because I don't know, nor do i want to be the cause of any issues, for the last four weeks I have dropped all pronouns completely. Friends, this is actually really hard to do. No his her he she. You try it. And after today I'm 99% sure I know the answer, but it's that nagging 1% uncertainty that looms. I know I'm never going to find out, and my curiosity will go unanswered, and that my pals is what kills me.
Smitten by the weather
This evening jen and I jetted down to Hayes valley to partake in some ice cream. Jen loves the stuff and so I told her we'd hit up a new place each time she's in town (she's based out of new York).
First on the list was smitten, the make it with liquid nitrogen when you order, shipping container turned ice cream shop. We were going to go after dinner, but had a small wait for a table at domo. And since smitten closed at 9 we decided we should go for dessert first. We split three flavors: chocolate, olive oil, and salted caramel. Salted caramel was by far the best, although jen did say that the olive oil tasted like France.
Afterwards we grabbed sushi at domo where the first plate came with a flying ant. It's less yuck because it's like a fly and all the windows were open, but still yuck because it was on our sushi. They remade everything, but still not a food experience highlight. Sads. Good thing ice cream saved the day.
Ps. Bummed I forgot about straw, we'll have to eat there next time!
Pps. The weather today was just absolutely bananas amazing.
