new roomie

My new roomie arrived yesterday. She is fresh in from the east coast. And I think a little jet lagged.

A beautiful evening. Devoured a (small) pizza. Spent some time at my favorite around the corner bookstore. Bought a soup I have not tried before; I'll find out tomorrow if it is any good. Savored some over the top raspberry wine and chocolate cake; lush. And am about to lounge on my new sofa and take care of some reading. I also found a creative way to store toilet paper in my bathroom; it will provoke comment at the very least.

sunday afternoon dance

they rush toward the edge
determined to reach the land
it greets them with sharp corners,
unexpected boundaries and small inlets.

they jump in delight
random yet in rythm
designed to delight, suprise, and refresh

my very first new sofa ....

chaise, loveseat, bed...I have just finished assembling this lovely piece of furniture.
A wonderful deal at my favorite around the corner store.
Versatility, comfort and style, both ends go up &
down depending on the configuration I want.
It is sitting in my bedroom until the living room looks lonely.

transition...again

Back to scouring craigslist, contemplating getting my own place, interviewing potential roomates, really wishing affordable studios were available in my neighborhood, and realizing that I still have one of the best deals and locations in North Beach. See nothing can beat a 12 min leisurely walk for a commute to work, a quick trip to one of the best grocery stores in town or immediate access to the bay and thus wide open spaces. I might have to invest in more furniture though especially if I plan to stick around for awhile; in theory my entire living room could walk out on me, hilarious.
