A Weekend in SF

Have I done a week 3 recap?

Well, week 3 has come and gone. I'm trying to have some sort of routine that will allow for writing, but of course that isn't happening.

I watched and read a lot of Game of Thrones. Book and Season 3. I had to wait to finish reading before I watched the show, but y'all after I read a certain scene/death or two I couldn't wait any longer. No spoilers, since other humans have been good enough not to spoil it for me. All I'll say is that it was worth the wait and read/watch.

I got my HBO shows out of my system, all caught up on True Blood too. I will say that I've had my fill of butts. So many butts on HBO. I guess because they can't show vaginas and penises. Man butts, woman butts, jiggly butts, small butts, but mainly tight butts.

Back to my Bay Area adventures. I spent some time in San Francisco on Saturday. In the Mission District to be exact. Wandering around in the cold looking for an art crawl I had found online. My friend and I finally stumbled upon one of the houses on the crawl and boy was it a magical experience. We walked into a place that was called "The Secret Garden." There were pretty lights and plants and that was it's actual name.

There was a stage set up in the garden, so we grabbed some seats on the makeshift benches and listened to this lady sing folk songs in different languages. Spanish, Russian and French. I barely have a grasp of the English language, so I was definitely envious. I'm not a huge fan of acoustic folky music, but it was all especially magical in the garden with the sun going down and the wind blowing. Then the singer and her friends began to harmonize and I think I can speak for all of America when I say, I'm a sucker for harmonization. I don't care what corny boy or girl group you are, if you can harmonize I'll be your fan for a day.

The harmonizations were beautiful and almost other worldy. I forgot all my worries and melted away onto the notes of the lady voices. It was like that. Definitely a lovely cap to a lackluster week.

I'm going to listen to some more Miley Cyrus now, while I job hunt and dream of my future.

  1. I just read through all of your entries because I'd completely forgotten about your blog! I'm kind of glad I did because reading them all at once has put me through a whirlwind of emotions because these are all actual adventures you are having. Your last(this) entry was by far my favorite. The Secret Garden seems like a magical place and I hope you have more magical experiences to share with us!
