Coco Chanel is officially back at work today. My favorite pink and black beta fish has been my office companion for over a year now. It’s great having a desktop pal that’s happy to see you each morning. Plus, betas are super resilient and don’t mind being left at work over the weekend. I recommend…

Rock on Scissors for Lefty! You guys are the greatest band in San Francisco. I hope the show in Los Angeles goes really well tonight! Just be sure to remember us little fans from way back in San Luis Obispo when you make it big. My prediction? I think you’ll be opening for Coldplay in…

I am rocking out on the iPod today! Between the moody alternative songs and the bumpin’ hip hop tracks, I am kind of digging the occasional Christmas song that comes on. Is this too weird? It’s not even a freezing cold day in San Francisco. I just really love Christmas, I guess. As soon as…

Its been over a week since I started blogging. So far I have covered goats, stationary, tuna, peach-tossing, celebrity gossip, shopping and glitter pens. Not too shabby!

Due to the extremely noxious odors these foods emit, this ban is to take place immediately. Any meals that emit dog-food-like smells should be eaten outside the office, preferably in…

Instead of your general toaster ovens and magazine subscriptions, they had theatre tickets, spa packages and gift cards to some fancy-schmancy stores. I…

I recently found out that I am anemic again. I think it is something that just comes with the territory of being a skinny girl. My doctor prescribed some iron supplements but it turns out that the specific kind he recommended is notorious for turning people into non-stop cookie-tossers. I discovered this the hard way…

I love Chinatown! Ever since I traveled to China a few years ago, I love visiting the crowded, smelly, bargain-filled streets of this San Francisco neighborhood. There is just nothing like it. This weekend I am heading out to Chinatown to shop for some cheap furniture. In the meantime, I’ll just have to read about…
