Back in 6th grade
When I go to Golden Gate Park for Lindy in the Park, there are always a group of skaters dancing around in their own little patch of smooth asphalt. It always looks like so much fun, so last night I decided to go to the Redwood City Roller Rink for Rainbow Skate ( Read more... ) -
Manhattan, Rob Roy, Beerhattan?
My friend B has introduced me to the lovely concoction known as a Manhattan. My bar book says it's traditionally made with rye whiskey, but we use bourbon at my house (because I have no rye). Here's my recipe ( Read more... ) -
Memery
Do you want to answer the 33 questions meme? Then you're in luck! I have it right here under the cut. I actually like the questions in this one better than most. I don't mind the "what's on your iPod" memes, but this one is more personal, which makes it more interesting.

I did it again last night. xeylli posted an open invitation to carpool to SF shows, so I went with her and her husband to see MONO at the Great American ( Read more... ) -
Technical Difficulties
My computer apparently isn't talking to my camera, so although I have pictures to post, I can't. Also, I lost my iPod for several days and was alternately frantic and morose about finding it. It has returned to me, so all is well on that front. -

treasures
I wandered into the used bookstore this evening, and came out with 6 cds. One was a total gamble, especially since I couldn't even tell what language it's in. The plain cover shows an old black and white photo of a man playing accordion, and the Scandinavian-looking words included the dates 1944-1948. I figured out eventually that it was Swedish, ( Read more... )
