IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I'LL BLOG IF I WANT TO


Here is what we planned to do today, to celebrate the fact that my old soul is now 35:
  • Brunch in Napa at the Boon Fly CafĂ©, for the most amazingly fresh & delicious dozen tiny gourmet sugar donuts in the world
  • Dinner & a movie (Sweeney Todd) at the brand new Sundance Kabuki Cinema in San Francisco, where you can reserve your seats online and eat an upscale meal while viewing the film from the Balcony Bar
  • Go see SF's all-female band Making Dinner live at the Bottom of the Hill, featuring my buddy's sister on drums (hi Zarah!)
And thanks to the thunder, lightning, gale force winds, hail and relentless rain (combined with the fact that I shouldn't be out and about in all of that only three weeks after back surgery), this is what we actually did:
  • Brunch at the closest possible dive
  • Watched Ocean's Thirteen on DVD
  • Dinner at the closest possible restaurant
  • Border's; bought a stack of books & a movie (A View to a Kill, my favorite Bond movie ever)
But hey, it turned out to be a great day (and probably a cheaper one at that). No complaints. Had to share.

    Happy belated birthday! Both what you wanted to do and what you actually did are great birthdays if you ask me!

    Hi Jo!!! Thanks for the shout-out. I was sending you happy birthday wishes across the winds, I'm sure they got there quickly. We missed you on Saturday. It was a great show, nice and packed, especially for a rainy night. When's the make-up/raincheck party? <3, Zarah
