i'm jettisoned to the center of the storm

ugh, i'm in denial that it's september, and that my summer is over...even though it feels like i barely had a summer since it was cold and foggy most of the time! lol.

anyways.

a couple weeks ago, elaine moved across the bay and into the city. we've had many adventures in the east bay, bur i'm so happy to have a fello SF resident now. :) yesterday, we went exploring...we realized that both of us had never seen the "painted ladies," aka the "full house houses," so we headed over to alamo square to take photos of them...



i want one of those houses! (actually the house in SF that *i* want to live in is this awesome purple and gold house in pacific heights. the colors are so rich, and it's so beautiful. i should take a photo of it when i see it next time).

afterwards, we headed to japantown and fell in love with this wall.


notice how i'm throwing up the asian tourist sign. what can i say...i WAS in japantown and i AM japanese, after all.

anyways. i'll try to get back into a more regular blogging routine this month...i realize that i have barely posted in the last 2 months.
