junctures of november

This month with filled with adventures.

We went to Trouble Coffee Company, which was featured in This American Life:

We spent an entire day in Golden Gate Park:
Addie was not a fan of the bison.

Then there was the flood:
It was discovered because water was pouring out of this light fixture.
We were moved to this swanky apartment for a week:
Addie and Moby spying on Twitter.
Addie found her new home.
We watched Chicago with Elaine and Greg and it was awesome:

I finally downloaded and beat Sam & Max. It only took me 15 years:

Nick and I had out 7th anniversary:

We went to Musee Mecanique for our yearly photo booth photos. 
And he bought me flying wish paper.
The restaurant was a little to fancy for us, so we went to Ghiradelli Square for dessert.
And took our first ride on the cable cars.

For our anniversary, I got Nick a cheese making kit:

Paneer.
Garlic goat cheese.
Honey goat cheese.
Ricotta.
I got my nose pierced:

An hour later, we realized that the stud matched Addie.
We attended the opera and saw La Cenerentola (Cinderella):


Nick turned 26:

I got him a royal title. Don't worry, I still outrank him.
So much rain:

But I'm finding ways to survive.
VW Bus tour with two couples from our building. Seriously, best tour ever:







My first attempt at knitting a color pattern:

Neil arrived in America with my brothers and we all road tripped in Ryan's bus:



Thanksgiving:
The famous cheesecake. Gone within seconds.

LA Day:
Finally tried Phillippe's. I mostly agree with everyone else's stance: this place has the better sandwich, but Cole's has the better venue. 
Olvera Street.
The Museum of Death. It is exactly what it sounds like.
It's a Wrap. We all ended up with something from True Blood.
Perch.
The Last Bookstore. Nick said I could only buy two books. I ended up with six.
Making sure Neil's visit was filled with the American experience of bacon everything.
Second Thanksgiving:
Zombicide before dropping Neil at the airport.
Six people trying to take pictures of all six dogs.
Whiskey and cigar time.
The drive back to San Francisco:





much love,
