My SF Visit

So! Updates again I guess.... although there is almost nothing new to report.  I did just find out today that I got a job as a Career Counseling Assistant at West LA College... NICE. It's part-time, in the right job field, and I could possibly use these hours as internship hours for next year! Awesome. It also helps that my sister's good friends with the guy who hired me. Sweeeet. So it's all kind of up in the air still, but hopefully I'll start at the end of this week and go from there!

Last Tuesday I drove from LA to SF for a friend's (her name is Zzipper) wedding and to hang out with all my much missed SF buddies.  I carpooled with my friend Kathy who also had a wedding to attend that weekend, so we decided to have a little roadtrip.

I arrived Tuesday night and had dinner with Ellen and my other friend Kathy at Mehfil, my favoritest Indian/Pakistani joint ever. Mmmmm delicious chicken tikka masala.  Wednesday I had lunch with Melissa at Out the Door, we walked around the mall and a little bit of Union Square area, met up with other old coworkers at Jade Bar, had a delicious pizza dinner at Patxi's... and interestingly enough, I got TIPSY.  I surprised myself.  I had a giant mojito at Jade Bar and then a beer at Patxi's.  So awesome. I haven't been tipsy in... well a long time.  Tipsy, not sick. :) Nice.

Thursday, I visited Ellen at Apple for lunch then stopped by Google to hang with Kishore and Ty for a bit.  That night Ellen and I got Burma Superstar take-out for dinner (YUM) and then watched Pineapple Express (funny... also James Franco is a hottie... although he looks homeless in this movie, I'd still hit it).  Friday, Ellen and I shopped for a dress for her to wear to Zzip's wedding and then we headed up to Sonoma around 3-ish.  The wedding was beautiful! COLD as hell, but beautiful and small and intimate.  It was great seeing all my old coworker buddies... haven't seen them in over a year.

Saturday, Ellen and I met up for brunch with Em and Melissa at Mission Beach Cafe in the Mission. Yum. After we walked off our meal by checking out all the random stores in the Mission.  I'd say we walked a good 15-20 blocks! After, Ellen and I got $39 massages in Chinatown. So good. Seriously.  It was comparable to the $85 massages that I got at my old employer. Nice.  Saturday night we met up with Bo & Co. for dinner at Town Hall in SoMa.  I ordered the yummiest fried chicken with creamed corn and gravy and biscuits. Ugh... taste explosion.  Most of my trip revolved around all the delicious things I got to eat.  After dinner, we headed to 83 Proof and hung out for a bit before everyone finally succumbed to food coma.

Sunday was my last day in the city and I spent the morning walking around Chinatown and eating dim sum with Ellen! Yum yum fun. I left the city around 1:30 pm and got home around 8 pm (with a few stops in between).  Susie and I are already planning another trip to SF in late October... weeeee!

And now... pictures!
