NEWLY REHABBED LARGE PILSEN HOUSE →
oliviaisferosch:
Someone emailed me about this place. It’s a little wackadoo, too far west, and I can’t stand that dark wood, but this is why Pilsen is amazing. 3400 square feet for $1300. Crazy.
Um, just for shits and giggles I decided to see what type of two bedrooms $1,300 will get you in San Francisco. It appears the answer is nothing — at least not today. Below is the Craigslist results for...

I’ve discovered that it only takes five more minutes for me to ride my bike to 4th and King instead of 22nd St. This is good since frequently (and as it gets warmer) the bike cars fill up. Even today, the train I got on at 4th and King was full by 8:08 (it leaves at 8:14). Still, I’m happy with my new discovery. If only I could now figure out a route that doesn’t make me feel...

I’ve been to Boulevard, Fore Street and just last week, Jean Goerge. All in the past year. I’m feeling quite the cosmopolitan today, for eating at three of the five restaurants nominated for Outstanding Restaurant in the 2009 Beard Awards.

fsford:
Peter and I just signed a lease at 1500 N. School! We are residents of Southport/Lakeview and PUMPED. The outside = major dump. Inside = STUNNING. I am the happiest camper.
Also, is anyone else ridiculously sick? Because I am disgustingly incapacitated.
Yay! Lease signing is so exciting. Are done with lawyer school now? Or is this just for the summer?

Monica is playing wii fit. She does it every morning and it appears to be a good fit (heh) for her — she looks lovely (as she always does).
I’m sitting on her boyfriend’s bed on my computer. And I’m wondering what time Dahnke and I will meet up for all-you-can-eat brunch.
I lived in NY for a summer, working at Cosmo. The summer I was there was ridiculous. I worked an unpaid internship, lived for free in Tribeca, generally drank everything in sight, went on “break” with Isaac, bought way too much clothes…
I feel lucky that I’ve lived in NY — even if just for a summer — because I feel like that allows me to have an actual opinion on it....

i literally cannot remember the last time i vomited, it has been so long, but i vomited this morning after tossing and turning all night, expecting it to come. so, thanks for a great dinner last night, shiva’s!

Should have gone to Calafia. Sucks. And noted about Shiva’s. I will skip that one the next time I’m in MV.

To the non-English speaker that called me three times this mornign at 4:15 a.m. from a Chicago area code:
I’m sort of irked that you called, three times to determine each time that you’d written down the wrong number. But I’m more concerned that you didn’t have an issue calling someone at 6:15 in the a.m.
That’s… not OK.

Man, I keep on forgetting that I can order out for food and they can DELIVER IT TO MY HOUSE, after years of living in suburbia and a place where no one would deliver.
Back when I lived in Fremont, 1 place would deliver, accordingly to Grubhub. At my current place in the Mission? 117.
I introduced Brad to GrubHub last night on the Caltrain home. He told me it was the best thing that...

Was not pleased that Quest Crew won ABDC and beat out my fave ladies Beat Freaks. Was pleasantly surprised, however, to see Randy Jackson actually show up to name them America’s Best Dance Crew. I bet Mario Lopez gets sort of irked that at the very end, Randy gets the glory.
It would be nice if my nickname was Shorty and I could do awesome headspins.
