oritsu_luvLast week was busy but very fun. On Tues was the Plain White T's show - first row again, and although we were alittle to far to the side to make direct eye contact with Tom (who was so adorable) the guitarist was playing right in front of us. They are so much fun.
On Wed I went into the city to meet Dad and Cathie. We went to a great little French restaurant in an alley, and then to among other places, an amazing fabric shop, a great chocolate shop, and an antique store with the most beautiful 19th century rings. I really love the city when I get a chance to explore it like that. For dinner we met Joely at the restaurant below her work, which turned out to be really good.
On Thursday I had dinner with Hank after work, which was also a lot of fun, we mostly talked about the Plan re:Vancouver, and he was very excited and enthusiastic about it.
Friday we went to dinner with Dad, Cathie and Dad's friend Andy. We were supposed to go to this secret Japanese restaurant, but there was a huge wait (too bad, the sushi looked out of this world, just a slice of the freshest fish imaginable on top of rice), so we at at an Salvadorean restaurant, which was also quite good.
Saturday we had pancakes and fruit salad with the 'rents at the apartment, and showed them around Berkeley. Dad had us walking for blocks and blocks to get to the original Peet's. When we finally got there, it turned out it had no seats, so he was the only one who got coffee, but we did find...a cupcakery! Which was amazing.
Also, it spawned this gem:
Cathie and I: Uh...you said the Peet's was across from Chez Panisse.
Dad: No. I didn't say it was directly across from it.
Cathie and I: That's what across means.
Dad: Well, I didn't mean literally 'across'.
Cathie and I: ....
Also, I have been in almost daily correspondence with Anna-san, re: this year's DS congress in Vancouver, a fact which makes me very, very happy. I like being someone that Anna-san depends on, if only for my translation skills.
