Dispatches from San Francisco, parts 1 & 2

[notoriousmac]

Erm, for those of you who don't know, I'm in San Francisco for a week. These are the emails I'm sending home (parents would rather have a written account instead of roaming charges on their phone bill).TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 2008: Once I fast-forward past the plane ride (during which I did NOT like the view of all that water under the plane upon

Dude.. red beans are like crack.. I love red bean paste in cookies and etc. Mmm...

Red bean ice cream is tasty.. if it's just the flavoring and not got the beans in it. Red beans look like kidney beans.. kinda.. so imagine the skin off a kidney bean in the ice cream.. it's just not as tasty.

Btw, wtf are you doing in San Fran? Are you home for Easter? I'll be home this weekend and next weekend (John comes with me next weekend). Archana's baby shower is this weekend.

I like red beans. I like red bean paste. I'm just not fond of red beans shooting up a straw with my mango-flavored milkshake. I think it's a consistency thing.

And I'm in SF because I needed another one of those vacations to somewhere I've never been before. (I think Vegas triggered my wanderlust.) Andy and I were orginally going to go to NOLA, but he's not on the same research project anymore that would've sent him there, and one weekend he was telling me about Muir Woods and the Japanese Tea Gardens and getting all glowy, and I've been wanting to see SF since I was 13 or so, and his sister and her fiance lives out here so we didn't need a hotel. So we just went for it. I should be home for Easter weekend, but I might have to work, so we'll see.

I didn't know you were going to SF. It sounds absolutely incredible!! You'll put all your pictures up, right, so all of us who've never been can live vicariously?

[notoriousmac]

Yeah, I kind of kept it on the down-low -- I've wanted to go to SF since I was 13 or so, and I was afraid of talking about it for too much and then having it not happen! (Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's comin to get me...) Pictures will definitely go up, no worries there. I've taken 214 of them in two days. =-O

I don't think I like you very much, because you get to take lovely west coast trips while I am stuck in chemical hell over here. But I'm glad you're having a good time! Can you ship me a fabu Cali boy? Pretty please?

[notoriousmac]

Chemical hell? What's going on? Are people offering you crack and meth on the street? Also -- remember, hon, I'm in San Francisco, all the men are gay. Still fabulous, though. Very stylish. :-D
