This is what Friday night looks like.

this is me tonight.  thank you, city college.

please enjoy the night for me everyone, because i cannot.  this is especially tragic because there's motown tonight.  i'll be writing about fava beans instead.

actually, i take that back.  while i'm transcribing notes and researching farmers' market bean trends, andrew is busy in the kitchen shelling these stubborn creatures from their pods for dinner.  

so that's something, i guess.

i'm looking forward to this semester being over.  i do feel very fortunate to finally be putting some of my passions to use, and learning a great deal along the way.  i just wish i was a bit more passionate about the fava bean, because so far i'm not the type of girl who enjoys plugging away until 2am writing about produce.

Name change?

i'm a masterpiece in progress.  so is this blog.

i wanted to call this blog "sincerely san francisco" because i'm obsessed with alliteration (in, like, not a non-pejorative way--zoë will get that little inside joke), and because i wanted everyone to know that a blog about san francisco exists out there somewhere.

i really liked the name sincerely san francisco, but now it seems more like a working title.  should i keep the blog as-is, or change it to "tem sabi" (my middle names which mean nothing in particular) or change it to something else?

i know that knowing what this blog is supposed to about would help with your opinion about this matter.  knowing what this blog is supposed to be about would help me out too. 

trouble is, i'm not sure what this blog is going to be about yet either, really.  it's all just more about what's most aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and ears at this point.

so, in your honest opinion, which title can you best visualize it all its html glory?:

This is what Tuesday night looks like.

some friends and i met up at blackbird bar in the castro at church + duboce to raise our verres in a santé to our french comrades. this is me trying to hold it together through drinks after 9 hours of work and 3 hours of class.

what are we doing, you ask?

mastering our french poses. obviously.

i had a strawberry cooler cocktail, which set me back $11 with tip and was strong enough to convince me that this was a good pose.   as you can see, i pretty much rocked it.

French Pride

i just found out some very exciting news about france today.  i've included some pics i took during paris pride 2011 to celebrate.

bravo, france!  you've done your country proud.

bises et l'égalité pour tous.

A Beautiful Day

happy earth day!
