I’m sorry for lack of updates. In mid-August, my 3.5 month long period of unemployment ended and I started a new job working on the facilities management team of a museum. Since then, I’ve simply had no time to update because I’ve been working fairly long hours. However, I am now transitioning into a more steady schedule and will eventually start seeing a resurgence of energy, creatively and physically.

I like to keep thoughts moving, so for now, keep an eye on my Tumbl-blog for random bits of inspiration.

A couple of stand out niceness type things, from recently (sorry for lack of images):

* Amazing dinner with my boyfriend at Camino in Oakland, CA – beautifully crafted cocktails, a concise menu full of elegant and creative entrees and appetizers. We had a chilled yogurt, mint and cucumber soup for starters. It was amazing. Entrees are cooked in a wood burning stove and we could see the open flames from our table.

*Rewatching “Double Life of Veronique,” while my boyfriend watched it for the first time. If you haven’t seen it, you should. If you have, you know what I’m saying.

*My father’s birthday dinner at Incanto in Noe Valley. (Photos forthcoming!) It’s one of those wild and creative spins on Italian food, which could be deemed either too showy and lacking in delicacy, or really awesome. I’m on the side of really awesome.

* Seeing Fever Ray perform at the Regency Ballroom earlier this week. It was exactly how all shows should be – incredible. Getting into the ballroom was a system of efficiency. We got seats on the balcony level and had a great, comfortable view of the entire performance. The stage set up was elegant, with lamps flashing magical lights around the stage, through fog and laser beams, while the band all wore mystical headdresses and masks. It was a really beautifully spooky performance, and the best part was that after we came out, dazed, onto the sidewalk, it was only 10:30pm!!!
