This is mostly for Julie, but I figured someone else might be curious to try.

This is my mother's recipe and requires you to be comfortable with slightly vague instructions. You'll still get an authentic borsh, just to your own tastes (this applies especially to seasoning it). But be brave.

Reception guy: Yeah, when we're a bit crabby we go across the street to the pet shop and look at the puppies.
Temp: Oh.

I love San Francisco. I love the beach. I love seeing people, and eating cookies, and contemplating sunsets, and playing with cameras, and being way too amused by seaweed. In other words go see my (actually's Jo's) facebook photos. And it was sunny today! Sunny! I must move back here after graduation.

It is snowing and beautiful! I am in love with life! It's not even that cold out.

It's Friday and it's wonderful and I'm thrilled to finally write here when I'm not in a crappy mood.

It was evening all afternoon.
It was snowing
And it was going to snow.
The blackbird sat
In the cedar-limbs.

Someone please recommend a good novel or two? I don't really have time to read just for my sake but I make time anyway. Especially at work - if I read for school I fall asleep. So recommend stuff.
