- YORK
Spent a weekend in New York, tagged onto the back of a work trip. This place is WOW. So much to see, do, eat (mm hot dogs and pretzels) … I spent most of the time walking around (like a tourist should) to the various parts of the city, of course looking at the “famous” touristy kinds of places (highlights include and are not limited to Central Park – I love this place!, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Times Square, Madison Sq Gardens, Fifth Ave, Grand Central Terminal, Trump Tower … “you’re fired” … heh), a little bit of shopping (could have been much worse, but I restrained myself), and met up with some friends to, of course, gorge in food and booze. Pictures in the next post ...
- CAR
Good bye hot red Mustang...
Hello cool blue A4!!
So its not quite the convertible I wanted, but its a sleek car and smooth drive... you know what they say, you can't beat German engineering!!
- APARTMENT / FURNITURE
The flat is coming together slowly. I have curbed my insanity by purchasing some furniture (I'm convinced now that an empty apartment can drive you mad), but I think I'm going cross-eyed from the number of choices there are out there... ! But still in need of a dining table, a sofa, and 2 bed side tables... *breaaaaaathe*
- STUFF
So, its been busy busy busy for the last couple of weeks and I have plenty on my plate to ensure that it will continue to be. The slow start on the work front has now dissipated, and its full on all the way. Colleagues leaving left, right and centre - they didn't tell me this before I joined!!!!
Otherwise, been heading out with newly found friends and doing my best to meet new people, checking out the restaurant/bar/club scene (food has been fantastic at almost all the restaurants I've been to!), shopping (outlet shopping is so good!! I've been to Gilroy, but going to check out the outlets in Napa, Folsom, Petaluma... I'm going to be very very broke), discovering delicious Californian wine heh ...
And very exciting, some friends/guests heading this way in a couple of weeks, I just can't wait
Currently feeling: busy

[ Jumping jacks, or may be jills ]

Last night, I ventured out into the Mission District, to a fun little lesbian bar (Lexingtons) for a birthday bash. Good drinks, laidback atmosphere but packed. Best moment of the night; when a hot blonde lesbian (I assume) walked past and pointed at me to her friend and said - "she's hot".
Grooved onto Beauty Bar, cramped tiny little joint, the kind of place you don't mind going if you're smashed (and looking to get in a short period of time). But I will definetely go back to check out their martini manicure happy hour ($10 for a martini and a manicure!).
As the bar kicked us out onto the street at 2am (can you believe how early they shut here!), we proceeded to cross the street and consume some of the best Mexican food I've had in my entire life, the quesadilla experience was almost orgasmic.. damn.
Not quite partied out, we (as well as our dancing shoes) went to Mint St to another after hours place, then when that shut we continued on to drink at a friend's place.. you could say, we had a bit of a late one
FUN, now nights like that are why I am in San Francisco...!
