Today was an awesome day.
My friend Loki was in town, on Spring Break from UCSD. We went to San Francisco.

We ate lunch at Buca di Beppo, where the walls are littered with color and kitsch, and “small” means one pound of pasta. Good times, good food.

Walked some blocks. Browsed through some of the stores in the Metreon before watching Be Kind, Rewind. It was sweet, fun, and funny. Despite the small audience in our theater, the whole room seemed to really enjoy the film.

Went to the comic book store next. They were having a going-out-of-business sale, so my brother and mom got stuff.

What I got:
- a Heroes shirt that said "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" around the Tim Sale drawing of Claire emerging from the flames
- Doctor Who figurine of Ten in a spacesuit

Then we ran under the waterfall in Yerba Buena Gardens, before ending our day with yogurt in waffle containers.

On the way home, we talked about the most random things, including, "Exactly when did they decide that the lights in front of cars should be white and lights in back of cars should be red?"

yeah.

Got home about 8 PM, said goodbye to Loki.



And now I see on the news that there was a bad crash on the Golden Gate Bridge earlier in the day. San Francisco's a big place.

Buca di Beppo is SO good! I went there with Language Club before it closed a few years ago. Our table had a little turntable in the middle of it, with a box containing the pope's head in the middle of the turntable. We kept turning it to stare at my Spanish teacher when she wasn't looking and gave her a heart attack repeatedly. lol

yeah, they have the Pope table in every one I think.

i didn't know buca di beppo was a chain! i went there once with matt and was srsly disappointed. i'm a maggianos girl m'self ;)

oh, that's too bad. The two that I've been to were pretty good. I like Maggiano's (actually had my birthday party there once) but I like Buca a bit more. Except the desserts. The desserts are much better at Maggiano's.

yes. \o/

Sounds like a good day for you both. :D

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

Buca di Beppo sounds GOOD!

Oooh. :/ That sucks about the Golden Gate Bridge. Did a lot get hurt? I hope not.

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

yeah!

it is

We traveled on the Bay Bridge, so we didn't know anything about it until we got home. But thanks for the kind thought.

Oooh, that sounds like a very awesome day.

Doctor Who figurine of Ten in a spacesuit

JEALOUS! :D

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

yes, it was.


Too bad about the store going out of business, but then I just had to take advantage of the prices. Only $7.19 for that figurine, and my brother and my mom got some stuff too - mom found her dear Buffy/Angel Prom figurine set for 60% off the original $32 price...

[subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Awwwww. Those are some good bargains on some really cool things. :)
