Deleted Scene

Wild West Shootout

On Saturday, Tom and I were asked to participate in a photo shoot at Paramount Ranch (which is awesome) along with these lovely people pictured. From what I've seen so far, the results look amazing and reflect the incredible talent of the team who set up the shoot. There are more photos at the photographer's website. Thank you, Jason, for including us! More photos to come, I'm sure.

AH.

Listen. I know you guys love Adamant Heroes, but I really can't condone defacing public sidewalks. I'm very flattered, though. Might I suggest a tattoo instead?

Happy Birthday, Kake!

Happiest of birthday wishes to a dear old friend!

So Into Jasmine They Call Me Aladdin

The scent of this jasmine has been wafting through our open window every night and I am loving it so, so, so much.

Point Bonita, at last!

As promised, here are some pictures from our outing to Point Bonita Lighthouse (near Sausalito) a couple of weekends ago. It was one of the most beautiful places I've been in a long time and I can't wait to go back.

This is the bridge you cross to get to the lighthouse. They only allow 2 people at a time on the bridge, and you can tell why when you're there. It looks pretty worn and rusted. The volunteer there said that they're planning to close the bridge for renovation this summer.

We hiked up to a spot overlooking the lighthouse and had a picnic. You can't tell from the picture, but about 4 feet in front of Tom was a +/- 200 foot drop off. It was like being at the edge of the world.

The view from the picnic.

I wish I had been able to capture the scope of the lovely panoramic view of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. It was really something.

Greetings From Sausalito, CA!

This weekend, Tom and I went to Sausalito on the way home from Point Bonita Lighthouse (more on that later). Apparently I had been there before when I was a teenager but it wasn't even remotely familiar to me when I looked it up. Now, having returned, I know why. It's not a particularly remarkable place. Yes, it's coastal (but what isn't around here?) and posh and quaint, but I didn't see much beyond that. It reminded me of dozens of other beach cities and communities I've been to like Laguna Beach and Coronado Island, specifically. All nice, all beautiful, but all with little to do but window shop and buy overpriced ice cream and trinkets. As I see it, if you're in the Bay Area and looking for something to do with a day, whatever you'd choose to see and do in San Francisco is much worthier of your time, energy, and money. Take that, Sausalito!

Too true, too true.

This is fantastic.

Pi!

Hope you all had a lovely Pi Day yesterday. Tom and I made an Apple Pi Pie and shared it with some dear friends Cara, Phil and, later, Pat. I have concluded that Pi Day is a lot more fun when you add an "e."

Please disregard the serious case of creepyface that possessed me. Tom seems to be able to handle himself in the presence of pie.

Me, posing super natural-like with the Pi Pie. Thank you for the pictures, Cara!

I've got nobody to hug. I'm such an ugly bug.

Those worms at 1:09 kill me! I've never had that much fun dancing in my whole life... and I have two legs!

Feeling Fine

This place will always hold a special spot in my heart.

Coast to Coast

My old friend Danny came to visit from New York this weekend and we had the loveliest weather imaginable, which lent itself perfectly to an afternoon in Cordornices Park playing bocce ball and taking unflattering photos.

This is the only photo we got of Danny. He's a ball bug. The guy in those other pictures is my landlord Frank.

9 Month Disease

A.J.: Birth control can put you at risk of blood clots.

Tom: Yeah, but not being on it can put you at risk of womb clot.

Apple Pie

With spring around the corner, I think it's time for me to start making one of these per week again.
