RJ and I went out to Ardmore, PA Saturday just to get out of town and see trees and whatever else it is the suburbs have. I looked up yard sales on Craigslist and we found one that promised all sorts of books (the ad: Hundreds of books: English, Italian, French; paperback & hardbound; academic to escape lit. Dishes, knick-knacks, shawls, coats, comic books, Nikon camera & lens, tools).
We wandered through a pleasant little neighborhood of nice old homes and slightly run-down big houses that had obviously been chopped up into apartments, probably for students. I kept pointing out pretty trees (lousy hippie!). Anyway, we found the yard sale. A nice older couple had it on their front lawn. The man announced everything was now half price ("Oh, should I make a sign for that??" "Nah, I'll just announce it!" CUTE.) The woman offered us blueberry tea and gingerbread (adorable!). I bought some books and a necklace. The lady was happy that I was the one buying the necklace because she thought I would enjoy it, and probably because we'd had a pleasant conversation about the tea. RJ bought some books, too.
I love yard sales like that. |

I like where I live, but I am grateful that I did not grow up here. Spending all day playing on the hot sidewalk or in the street because my parents are too lazy to take me to a park a few blocks away, or watching thuggy kids light fireworks in tiny backyards...yuck.
I'm grateful for and proud of my small town Michigan summers! I was a lucky kid. |

I just saw Peter Serafinowicz on Walnut Street in Center City, Phila., PA, USA. He is tall.
Oh, you know. This guy. |

The lady at the Wine and Spirits Shoppe informed me that Maxwell's new song is great and it is her song. |

I just renewed my LJ account for another year so you turkeys better start posting more so I get my $$ worth. Screw Twitter, viva la livejournal!

I was only in California a few days but I just emailed Mickie and then checked the time to count ahead 3 hours and figure out what time it is where she is. She's only 2 miles away! haha.
Our vacation was fantastic. Missy and Karl are great hosts. We saw a lot of stuff (I'll post photos to flickr later today, if you are interested) and ate tons of great food (fatty fat fat). It's a blessing and a curse to hang out with your BFF because now I am sad and miss her SO MUCH.
Back to real life. Back to living on different coasts. BIG SIGH.
One west coast fashion thing I saw and hated: a miniskirt over pants.
One west coast fashion thing I saw and liked: hipsters (boo) in jeans that fit instead of skinny jeans. |

I'm at Missy and Karl's house in Oakland, typing this on one of those cute tiny laptops. We're here through Sunday, hanging out with a couple of the best people in the world, enjoying nice weather, and taking in what there is to take in around here (which is a lot of stuff!). Last night we had drinks at a tiny bar on the bay (we were sitting outside just feet above the water) and ate fried vegan food at a place called Weird Fish. Good times!
I'm a bit sad we missed the awesome Leonard Cohen concert in Philly Tuesday, but that's the past! Onward! |

I didn't want the Phillies tickets I won (no offense to the Phillies! I think the game was rained out anyway) so I sold the pair for $50. I spent $30 on a pretty necklace at a flea market this weekend and $20 on two glasses of wine at the Southwark. YAY! I love winning the dude-like NCAA tournament and buying girlie stuff!
San Francisco in 9 days! I dread flying across the entire country, but I am THRILLED to see Missy and Karl again. Oh, yes...and kinky Steve. hee. Vacation! |

I just ate 3 miles of pizza, sipped a shot of whiskey, and drank a beer.
Except for the sipping, I may as well be a frat guy! |

I made up a drink this weekend I call "Poor Man's Sangria." It's ice, red wine, cranberry juice, and club soda. YUM! |

Nicole flew in Friday and I showed her the sites of South Philly. I think she was unimpressed overall because she kept asking if she was going to get mugged. We tried to do better by taking her to Center City Saturday. She seemed to have a great time, but we walked her legs off, so we stuffed her full of Mexican food and sent her home Sunday morning.
Family! Hooray! |

So, I just received my prizes for winning the office NCAA tournament. Yes, I won it two weeks ago.
1. A tall trophy. It does not have my name on it. (I swear the dude said it had my name on it when he handed it to me, wrapped in bubble wrap. ha!) It's a skinny lady playing some sport, standing high on a golden cup and a tall trophy base.
2. Two tickets to the Phillies/Mets game next Sunday. They are in a crappy section!
The prize went from being a $50 gift certificate to being 3 Phillies/Mets tickets for the Friday game to being this crap.
Boo, office events people. Boo. |

I took a sick day today (I have a crummy cold, not a romantic disease where I lounge around in silky gowns, unfortunately). Sick days are made for Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies, so I popped in SW but fell asleep right after Ben and Luke met Han and the walking rug.
I have to rest up for a weekend of fun times! Shek arrives tonight and we're supposed to party all night long (I think that means until 11:30 for us old people--har har) and we'll spend tomorrow walking around Center City before the Phillies game at night and then more ALL NIGHT PARTY TIMES. There's no time to be sick!
I just tried to get a cough drop but I fumbled and it fell into the kitties' water dish. bloop. |
