i'm baaaaack. kinda.

Been:

• gone so long
• decently busy
• feeling unfunny
• filled with unimportant thoughts

so you should probably transition to stalking me over at LaurenPlusAdamo.com. we are pretty special/'special'

do cops feel awkward?

I was thinking the other day how awkward it has to be for a cop to have someone in the back seat and not want to chat them up. Seriously though, what do you talk about? bad decisions, past lovers, how to get back to the jail, scenery? It's like being in a cab and not having a heart to heart with the cabbie. It's impossible.

I think I will stick to not being a cop. for many reasons.

headed to foreign land

Adam and I are headed to London then Dublin, then back to London. His parents are already there and we are meeting up with all his family when we get back to London. I am so excited. It has been 2 years since Sada, Shoe and I went on our big trip. I'm a little scared about how much room we have in our suitcases -- I guess that just means more souvenirs. word.

We have 2 full days in Dublin then hope to just drive somewhere. Maybe to some place like this...ahh

rumpelstiltskin sighting

I was going through old pics on my phone and remembered I (oh so sneakily) snapped this of a man on the bus in SF. He must have been traveling a comfortable distance to be able to make yarn or whatever. The couple in the seats behind him were severely disgusted when he kept flopping his stash of unidentified fabric (can you call it that?) over his shoulder and it almost touched them.

Power to the self-sufficient?! I can only hope I find gems like this in Houston.

cuz we be in the big leagues...

let's be real - not really, but one (two) can dream.
Keep your fingers crossed! Adam is showing some art at Blue Jay Cafe for the next couple weeks and coincidentally participating in the Divisadero ArtWalk tomorrow.



Oh and for all legal purposes, let me quote Nelly - batter up.

Lost a Good Man Today

Alert the media: someone has lost their rat tail. I found this beauty on my walk home from the bus stop. If you look closely, you will see the nice braid at the point of (once) connection.

Speaking of fashionable hair situations...I have noticed a complete lack of mullets in San Francisco, even at the airport.

That's all I got.

Point for me (and my carb intake)

After many bagels and the occasional Snapple, I have finally been recognized as a regular. This, for some reason, has been a goal of mine for a while. I feel it is a slice of accomplishment, in a twisted way. One time she even let me not pay because I didn't have cash. "Oh, you can pay tomorrow - you are in here all the time." (for the record, I did not eat there the next morning, I just paid for my contraband) Writing that just now actually made me feel nasty. A regular at a bagel place in down town SF? Great. -10? In any case, I now feel like it is a game I have to play with her to order something different. Hey you, the Cinnamon Sugar bagel with butter girl? I think not - call me Blueberry the muffin.


In a hugely unrelated topic - I sincerely hate clear bra straps. I do not even understand the theory behind it. Was there a point when someone thought: "Oh! I will just balance this clear plastic cup on my shoulder. No one will ever know"?

I rest my case.
