Ah nisei week hanagasa hair...

Today is National Cheesecake Day and I hear the Cheesecake Factory has a new Oreo cheesecake thats even Oreo-er than before.

That's funny... Checked the schedule twice but Castle doesn't have a panel this year.

Ugh... Working right after a national holiday = a coffee day...

Going to eat my weight in creme caramel today - they have bacon! From Unique SF.

I love when my bus overtakes the bus ahead. Wish adding more buses at peak times made more difference, but it doesnt. The solution is fewer cars on the road.

In line at Oinkster for the Grill Em All truck night for Day 4 of Burger Week. Sadly, line is out the corner into the neighborhood. Not sure what the menu is!

Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

So my workplace has started a confidential, in-house only blog to keep photographers in the loop on what's going on in the office. It's contents are not supposed to be discussed outside of the blogosphere.

It's like Fight Club.

The first rule is... I can't talk about it.

Eri Sugimoto

Three uses for Eri Sugimoto-san's adorable mini-plate:
1. A used match holder
2. A teabag rest
3. For sauces and oil-vinegar dips

And the hand-poured clove-scented soy candle is even better.

May Grey is much warmer and drizzlier than anticipated. Still quite nice.

Pacific Asia Museum is featuring 20th C kimono from march 2012.

Note to self: call ahead to order crepes.

Closing up shop for the holiday weekend. The streets of old pas is bedlam. At least the brass band playing carols is quite good.
