Too old for this

I went out last night and it was pretty fun. But the entire time i'm thinking I did laundry today and my sheets are all fresh and clean and my bed is made and i could be at home all cozy between the covers watching a movie and curled up with my pets.......oh my pets i wonder how they are doing home alone this evening....what time is it i feel like we've been out for hours oh it's only 11pm?....really? ...i thought it was at least 2am....wow these bars are too crowded tonight.....ughh i hate people especially crowds of 21 yr old army guys....and even worse than 21 yr old silly army guys are the vapid 24 yr old wanna be army wives all bleached out and trashed dancing out of sync to the band....wow this music is just a little too loud...i love this band but it would be so much more enjoyable if they'd just turn the music down a little......omg are they even carding because those kids don't look old enough to be in a bar; oh my goodness i think i used to babysit that girl....man what time is it??....i need to get home because I have things to do tommorrow....and it dawns on me that i am really getting too old for this.........so i went home!

Apple Drunk

The funny thing about this ~to me~ is that I once had a deer, hopped up on fermented apples, jump on my car and shatter the wind shield. All we could do was laugh and be happy for insurance. So yes even wild animals like to get their drink on :)

Natalie Dee is awesome!

Milk & Cookies on Castro

I'm in San Francisco! I have been all week. The weather has been wonderful to me but the locals are crying that its cold :) I was the AGU conference all week where everyone who saw I was from Alaska just had to ask if I knew Sara Palin! so much fun ya right. But at least this was a very granola group of people so we all were in agreement that she was on scary woman. Anyways...

With the conference over I finally had a day to just enjoy the city. I went to Delores Park Cafe for breakfast, then to China town, then wandered around lost for awhile, then took a nap at my hotel, then had a fabulous dinner at the Soluna Lounge, then I rode the cable car to the Castro Theatre to watch Milk.



The Castro Theatre was the perfect place to watch Milk since much of the movie takes place on Castro in the 70's. It was a great movie that I highly recommend!! And if you ever have a chance to watch any movie at the Castro Theatre you should definitely go because it was beautiful! There was an organist who played and played then took a bow moments before the movie starts. The audience is enthusiastic and claps through out the move. And there is balcony seating!

After the movie I had the best warm cookies at a little kiosk bakery right outside the theatre. Castro is a beautiful clean developed area of sanfrancisco with lots of cute little shops, restaurants, and bars. It reminds me of a nicer version of the Hawthorne district in PDX which was one of my favorite neighborhoods in portland. I could definately live in San Francisco IF i was south of market around the Delores park, Castro mission district neighborhoods - as long as i could afford a place with a yard for Che. I'm missing my dog!

Tomorrow I'm off to LA by train. I don't think I've ever ridden Amtrak anywhere so this will be a new adventure! Happy Solstice!
