The SF Experience

I've always wanted to live in a huge city. I also hate huge city quirks --- like noises and small living spaces. But, I am starting to think the fun and convenience outweigh those little annoyances. I spent the weekend... or half the weekend enjoying the city lifestyle. Chris just moved to Glen Park and it is literally a short BART ride away from FUN. Haha.

Anyways, I had a relatively drunk-filled Friday and Saturday. I went to happy hour with some coworkers. That's always fun. I wished I stayed longer, but someone was hungry. Ahem. We were too lazy to do anything exciting after drinks and Mexican food. What a bummer. On Saturday, I met up with Jen and George and Lany for brunch (yes, my favoritest meal ever) in random cafe in Redwood City. It was nice that it was right off the waterfront, but the man behind the register was a crazy person.

George: "I'd like American cheese"
Crazy person: "American is people, not cheese"

That's an excerpt from a conversation with the crazy person. Haha. I had eggs benedict, but instead of ham or Canadian bacon, it came with CRAB. Yum. How much do you love crab? Not even close to how much I love it. Yummy. After lunch, I took Chris to Costco so that he could stock up on turkey burgers, Grey Goose, and Nutella. I am not joking that he bought all of those things (and more) in bulk. And he's the only one he's buying for.

At night, we took BART to Montgomery and made the long (or some think reasonably short) trek to North Beach. We had dinner at Figaro, which was nice Italian food with a side of terrible service. Then, we met up with Lany and Anna at a random dessert and coffee shop for chocolate cake and cappucinos before heading to Rogue Ale Brewhouse. I was very disappointed that they ran out of the hazelnut beer. And even more disappointed that all the drinks that the bartender recommended were terrible. Jen, Stef, and Jason joined us and after a little while, we decided to head over to Sip. We ended the night with at least 3 rounds in shots and a final hurray to Lany turning the big 25.

The best part of the night... was that all of us drank like no tomorrow and then Chris and I cabbed it back to Glen Park for $20. Money well spent.

Happy Father's Day today and bring on the week. GAAAH.
