Urban Outfitters, Hi guys, just a quick note to see if you are all okay. I am concerned because I just saw an email promoting these. Did you realize that you were selling neon teal skinny jeans? Since it is not the 80’s, I have to assume that this is related to some sort of…

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a goodie two-shoes. I hate getting in trouble. That’s why my criminal activities on Wednesday night were such a surprise! Breaking & Entering – My first crime of the evening was sneaking into a private screening of Seraphim Falls hosted by Gen Art at the Westfield. We…

On a cold, cold day at the end of a cold, cold snap you start to run out of options. Another day in wool pants and a black sweater? Boooring. Switching to winter white always makes me feel a little better about having to be bundled up: Sweater – Dark camel is a perfect match…

How do you counteract a freezing cold rainstorm in San Francisco? With a tropical dinner of fish tacos and mango sorbet, of course! This recipe couldn’t be easier or more perfect: Mango Sorbet4 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted and chopped1 cup of simple syrup (1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water boiled)Juice from half…

One of my favorite things about the new TV is being able to watch Northern Exposure reruns in high definition. I loved this show when it was first on in the 1990’s and appreciate it even more now that I can see every pore on John Corbett in 1080i detail. Northern Exposure is a little…

Oh my…this was a funny weekend. It all started when Rob and I rushed home on foot in the freezing cold Friday (the buses were all jammed up), stopping at Sunhee Moon to buy a birthday present. Just a few frantic minutes at home changing before we dashed over to Jill and Peter’s apartment for…

Hooray for Dr. King and hooray for having the day off! I hope you are all home from work today too. Rob and I have a relaxing day planned, including a trip to the Conservatory of Flowers to warm up a bit. We’ve had a wild weekend so far; full of scheduling snafus, scrambled eggs,…

A reader commented today that her place is too small for hosting parties. People often mention this, especially in San Francisco with our high rents. To them I say, “Ha, I don’t think so!” Rob and I lived for three years in a tiny, tiny apartment in San Luis Obispo. It was a shotgun style…

Our new television is so huge! Rob and I have had a 17 inch LCD tv for the last five years. It was great, but pretty tiny. Our new TV is 40 (!) inches and the difference is incredible. We’re working on building it a new home in our living room closet (it used to…

I teased Rob endlessly when he bought an earthquake alarm system for our apartment a few months ago. Growing up along the coast of California, I knew that you couldn’t “predict” earthquakes and that your only salvation was to duck and cover. But the little alarm has actually turned out to be pretty genius. We’ve…
