So many good things

As far as weeks in San Francisco go, this past one has been one of the best. I found out that my favorite bus company, Megabus, will be resuming its operations in California and taking me to all sorts of exciting destinations or actually just Sacramento and Sparks, NV for $1 if I time it right. I braved the Bay Bridge again, this time as a passenger, to go to Berkeley for the outdoor patio version of a delightful Ikea table both my housemate and I have been lusting after for weeks and subsequently ate takeout Indian street food at said table like a real person with real furniture. And finally, we hosted a housewarming party with delicious food and drinks. 

My housemate and I each made a drink - mine was a grapefruit mojito and hers a dark 'n stormy - because we're cute hosts like that. I was impressed with the number of people that showed up despite the downpour outside, but not as impressed as I was by the amount of beer that was consumed by the end of the night. 

Today, I had no plans, so after making an unusually cheesy butternut squash and white cheddar soup, I decided to walk to Japantown and explore. The walk took over an hour, during which, I spent a minute chatting with a random couple as we picked through some free books - a significant portion of which had rather provocative titles - that had been left out on the sidewalk. It was nice to see parts of the city I haven't been to, but at some point, I had an unfortunate incident involving my left boot as a result of some dog owner's negligence or laziness. When I finally reached my destination, I nearly bought a tofu cheesecake at a Japanese grocery store but the first ingredient was still cheese, so I felt like it was false advertising and decided against it.
