Rainy

So you know how I like to complain about rain and bad weather? And wet pants and wet socks and wet shoes and etcetcetc? So I bought myself a pair of clompy clown-shoe wellies and solved that. Except today I didn’t check the weather report — it was cloudy-ish but not cold [...]

Weather Wimp Indignation

OMG, it’s so cold! I’m sitting at a desk, wearing a wool sweater, cords, scarf, hat, and coat!
It’s so cold that some of the buildings at work don’t have heat because parts of the steam system had to be shut down because of overwork (or something like that). The infrastructure can’t [...]

Various and Sundry from SF

We went to the city today for dinner with Lingo at The Richmond, which is a rather nice and cozy and delicious place. Also, Lingo is a regular so the chef always comes out to say hello. Crazy eh?
Anyways, this is just to explain why we were on the BART playing [...]

Random Thoughts

Amongst canned root beers, Mug’s is better than A&W — more flavor, not so sweet, more bubbly. I should say though, that all three tasters (misa, yut, and me) prefer Coke to Pepsi. But in our defense, I found a Taster’s Choice article which agreed! Oh but one thing I want to [...]

Jarring

Yesterday I was in Maryland and it was 90 degrees and humid and I wore a t-shirt and sweated rivulets.  Today I’m in the Bay Area and it’s more like 60 something and I’m wearing a coat.  If I come down with something, I guess I’ll know why.

I’m Melting Like the Wicked Witch of the West, Only With Less Water Involved.

Usually when I talk about the weather, it’s cos it’s cold and rainy and I don’t like it. Well today it’s hot and sunny, and I DON’T LIKE IT! It’s in the high 90s (like 97 or 98°F or like 36 to 37°C); walking to the water cooler makes me hot and sweaty. [...]

2 Weekends Ago

That last post reminded me, I’ve been meaning to put up photos from the manicure/pedicure for 2 weeks now. Gawd I’m slow. Anyways, I went with Julie to Fusion Nails & Spa. Going with Julie was nice cos she knows whatall is going on, so she helped me pick my colors (red [...]

Ode on an Ice Cream Carton

Today the weather was really nice, 60s! Perfect for ice cream!

Actually I’m a total liar, we got that carton like a week ago, when the weather was bad. Maeda-en is my fave brand of azuki ice cream (to date, I’m willing to try others!) and it’s quite quite delicious. I know it [...]

Broken

Y’know, I thought the bad weather was done for the winter — I thought everything was all good. But no, it was just one day of reprieve. Today the rain came down hard, and I coulda sworn the wind kept changing direction, so it wasn’t even possible to point my umbrella the right [...]

Rain, Copious Rain

When I moved to NorCal, where people put on their wellies when it’s drizzling out, I made fun of the weather wimps. I thought seriously, wellies? It drizzled for a minute this morning! But omg, we’re having the worst rainy, humid, cold weather I can remember (around here), and I am totally [...]
