Smoke stink, acrobats, and spiders oh my!

I'm back on Post Street for all my phantom readers who have mysteriously visited me in the past. I am two blocks away from my very first SF apartment but will not stay here for long. It does feel nice to have a place to call home though. If only I hadn't woken up with 10 spider bites after the first night of sleeping here. The dishes seldom get done, which means I carry my own cup in and out of my bedroom, and shoes must be worn at all times because of the ripped up carpet nails etc. I am too old to live in a place like this and soon all my clothes will smell of smoke (YUCK). The positives? There is a huge courtyard in the middle of the building full of plants, mostly succulents, and a crooked city tree whose trunk is black from the nearby road. It is a wonderful place for my morning cup of joe. Also, one of the roomies is involved in gymnastics and the circus school and it has totally inspired me to get busy being physical. Screw the idea of finding a lover, it's time to work on the self.

Short lived

Just canceled Netflix. Call me old fashioned, I like walking to the independent video store, smelling the old VHS and seeing the neon PORN SECTION sign. Also, the shiny white and red envelopes would have nowhere to go as I am homeless again. In this dark rainy weather what could be better? Don't worry, I have couches with my name on them!

2 amazing things


One, Hebrew is beautiful. And so are horoscopes. So another incredibly accurate horoscope happened upon me today. Here goes; Life has suddenly gotten complicated. Someone exciting, dynamic and sexy as all get-out beckons-just out of reach. At the same time, another someone wants to control you. No one, but no one, tells you what to do. Or do they? And we haven't even begun to address what's happening in your money house!
This is the second week in a row that the stars have definitely been in alignment para mi. It's a bit eerie really, but since both weeks have been damn good I had better get busy living eh?
The second amazing aka beautiful thing is this movie I just watched. My lord how intense the cinema can be. Words can't explain the way you feel while sitting and watching this animated documentary that is up for an (oh no) Oscar. If it's playing, phantom readers, go see Waltz With Bashir.

so much to say, lets stick with food

Since my borrowed internets connection is going to fail at any minute I'll sum it up with another bit about food. For those of you who have not tried the cookies I suggested months ago, shame on you. Now order this! It's the best cinnamon bread you will ever taste. Toast it, let it sit in the toaster for 5 minutes after it's done and then enjoy. Seriously. And the best news? Greenlees, the family owned bakery, is in the same town of my graduate school. Hello thundah thighs.

Oh dear! Just joined Netflix

A lot of stuff has been going on in this fancy ham's life and often videos are the perfect companion. Speaking of, after 17 long months of unemployment I am officially back in the working world, being a companion. Her name is Gloria, her apartment is decorated as yellow as can be and her view is fantastic. She suffers from Alzheimer's and needs a lady friend to go out to lunch and gossip with. It will be both interesting and stressful and perhaps at times dangerous, but I know how to keep the cool with old Jews that are losing their minds! The work is in my field of the aged and although the pay is shit it gets my foot in the door, and a chance to try every restaurant I've ever wanted to in the glorious gastronomical city of SF!
