I have to admit, going out and doing things all the time hasn’t left us a lot of time to get down to getting the condo done, we still have boxes around and there are a few major tasks we need to complete before we can call it “done” (as “done” as any home ever […]

Christmas at the Zoo and Oakland Museum Pixar Exhibit
December 27th, 2010 by pleia2
Thanks to holidays both MJ and I had Friday off from work. We took a leisurely start to the day and headed over to the Metreon to grab some lunch to enjoy overlooking Yerba Buena Gardens. For a park that is just a block from where we live we don’t go nearly enough. We came […]
Since Thanksgiving I have…
December 12th, 2010 by pleia2
Upon returning from New England, where I spent Thanksgiving, I fell victim to a horrible cold that left me feeling pretty awful for about 3 days (thank goodness I work from home, I took some naps but didn’t need to call out entirely), and had a long tail that stretched on for 10 days. It […]

Pizza, Oakland Museum and the rest of my week
October 7th, 2010 by pleia2
On Saturday morning I had the sad task of dropping MJ off at the airport so he could fly off to a conference this week. This week has gone painfully slow as a result, but Saturday we’ll be meeting at the Philadelphia airport to take a flight together to Dublin, I’m so excited! Late Saturday […]

Birthday zoo visit and waffle
October 4th, 2010 by pleia2
As mentioned in my last post, I took the opportunity on my birthday to take the afternoon off from work and head down to the San Francisco Zoo for a delightful afternoon of animal watching (and even got a Happy Birthday wish from the zoo!). My first stop was to see the meerkats, since I […]
Box, box, box – organization!
October 1st, 2010 by pleia2
Moving two people who lived separately into a one bedroom condo in a city is tough. We’ve been working since I moved in to acquire and prepare storage units and organizational systems to meet the goal of getting rid of all the boxes in the condo and settling upon a maintainable organizational solution that we’d […]

California Academy of Science, Cartoon Art Museum
September 3rd, 2010 by pleia2
Several months ago the Extreme Mammals exhibit opened at the California Academy of Science, on Saturday MJ and I finally took the opportunity to head down to see it. It was a beautiful day and we took MUNI over to Golden Gate Park. The Extreme Mammals exhibit itself was a real treat, the huge, the […]
SF Zoo!
August 28th, 2010 by pleia2
On Wednesday I was able to take the afternoon off from work to offset some weekend time I put in last weekend and took the opportunity to take advantage of my new zoo membership. I’d been intending to get a zoo membership since I moved here, and I was delighted to learn that the membership […]
Bitlbee tweeting, heat and SF food
August 25th, 2010 by pleia2
When we picked up our television the other weekend we also took the opportunity to pick up the box we shipped my bike in from PA in and dropped it over at the local bike shop, Pacific Bicycle. Three days later the fantastic staff at Pacific Bikes had Nessy assembled and I was able to […]
We bought a 3D TV!
August 12th, 2010 by pleia2
The title of this blog post is true, but the deeper truth is that we had no intention of jumping on the 3D fad-wagon. When we settled on a range of TVs based on quality reviews on CNET the ones that we were looking at just happened to also have 3D. So we have a […]
