Day off! Day off! Yayz!

I came very close to being productive today: I woke up at my usual 6:20AM unable to return to sleep, I ran through my ablutions, put the kettle on, watched the umpteenth repeat of the night's Sportscenter with a cup of coffee in one hand and a scone in the other, went upstairs to grab my laptop and wool blanket before half-heartedly going through the Times, and then ended up wasting the entire morning and afternoon waiting for FedEx to drop off my phone. By the time I actually *got* my precious item I'd thrown all thoughts of real productivity out the window (even though I'd finally changed out of my PJ and everything!), and ended up settling down to play some Rock Band 2. Aqualung is a decent song; who knew?

Tomorrow (because today? a complete loss) I look for a costume, get my hair did, and other stuff...yeah, productivity is overrated.

Going to San Fran. in January. Anything in particular I should look into doing?

whoot! You still want to do something tomorrow? I gotta run to IKEA and clean out my car and I should probably finish packing....but I'll have some free time too! Also, San Fran, you must go to fisherman's wharf and see the sea lions (their not seals you $Q#% tourists!) They rule. Japantown is good for food and Golden Gate Park is really pretty. If you want cool shots of Alcatraz go to Fort Point. climb to the top, awesome view of the Pacific! The haight has good thrift shops or they used to!

*grin* There was an article in the latest Time Out NY that had a blurb about tours of Manhattan's Chinatown. Apparently there are historic landmarks in the area. Besides, say, illegal bag shops.

I need to attempt to tackle some errands in the morning, but give me a call when you're wrapped up tomorrow and we can definitely look into seeing about doing a lil' something. I wanted to hit up the costume store on 11th and Broadway to see what they have left.

I love San Francisco!! Bundle up because it'll be frickin' freezing out there in January! Go to Alcatraz. Take the tour. It is so worth it. I believe there is an art museum in Golden Gate Park but the name escapes me. They had a Picasso exhibit when I was there. Ghiradelli Square is cute. You will not be able to leave SF without at least five pounds of Ghiradelli chocolate and sourdough bread. DEFINITELY go to Cliff House. It's absolutely gorgeous. And the hippy in me was unbelievably happy to visit Haight Ashbury where I bought lotsnlots of Beatles stuff. OOOOOH and one more awesome thing. The Presidio. It's an old military base at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge. WAY haunted. Wish I was going with you - So jealous!

Dude, you live in desert. San Fran. is going to be a little milder than the temperatures around NY at that time of year, and I figured hotels might be cheaper (only thing, not so much. But whatever). Alcatraz it is. And I'm going to be trolling the city unaccompanied for a couple of days, so that should be doubly awesome. :)
