A fridge full of leftovers.

Nope, no jackets on in this picture. For the last 7 days we've had the pleasure of entertaining Orlandonian Larry. I don't know how he managed to, but he snuck the Florida heat with him on the plane and San Francisco reached a record high of 93 degrees. It was a bit smoldering, but I loved wearing shorts and a tank top for a change. During his trip we went to three different beaches, the Japanese cherry blossom festival, the Zoo, the Exploratorium, Coit Tower, Fisherman's Wharf, and drove over that big orange/red structure that sits in the bay. We hung out with Ed and Ginger, and ate lots of food! Larry had Indian food for the first time, and later in the week I even tried half a piece of sushi! The other half was eaten by this cute little napkin creature.

This morning we woke up super early to eat breakfast at an oceanfront diner before parting ways:( Our one regret is that we were too tired to pick up some late night "In N Out" burgers, but I guess this gives Larry at least one reason to return. We had a ton of fun this week (minus the part where I got two parking tickets in one day), and can't wait for Larry to rack up more vacation time, or just get a job here and move to SF forever and ever. It is true, San Francisco is the new Orlando guys, with the exception of the ground shaking sometimes.

Pictures from Larry's visit, (taken by larry.) More posts to come!

Trois Mois

Hello, April.

It's been almost three months since the last post. I'm not sure how that happened, but the time has just kind of flown by.

In February, Kacey and I celebrated our third anniversary. It was kind of like the parade scene from Aladdin as they enter Agrabah. I can still hear the genie singing.

Lauren visited for a week from Orlando. She and Kacey hypnotized me with TV and abandoned me during the days--wandering aimlessly around different parts of the city, exploring random shops and restaurant bathrooms, and taking lots of pictures of discarded cigarette butts. I eventually managed to break free from their spell, and we went to Muir Beach, the Academy of Science, the SFMOMA, the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, and probably some other places I forgot. Pictures!

At the end of February, Kacey and I attended a three-day comics/popular arts convention called WonderCon. The convention had panels and talks about art, comics, upcoming movies and tv shows. There was a big exhibition floor full of comic artists and illustrators displaying and selling their art, where you could talk to them about their methods, inspiration, and hangovers from the previous night. We bought a few prints and books, and got several of them signed by the artists/creators along with quick personalized drawings on the inside covers. Oh yeah, and we saw a bunch of people dressed up as transformers, star wars characters, and superheroes/villains. Pictures!

Kacey also wore a few costumes to the convention. She went as a 24-year-old one day, and as a 25-year-old the next two. She still hasn't taken that second costume off. Kat and Ray met us at the convention on her birthday, and we all went to the Cheesecake Factory afterward to celebrate. Mark my words, I will never forgive Ray for his generosity.

Maybe sometime this winter I'll tell you what happened in March!
