SF is such a beautiful city. I went there for my honeymoon, and my husband didn't want to come home! Now that I'm looking for a full-time job, he keeps pressuring me to expand my search to SF. He'll use any excuse to go back to that perfect weather.

If I didn't already plan on moving to New York City, I'd move to San Francisco. My family always goes to see shows there, so my love of theatre came from SF. Good times.

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

I was in SF the week before Christmas in 2007. I don't know if it was the holiday season in the air, but I loved it and never wanted to leave. I'm due for a return visit.

San Francisco is WONDERFUL. It's so cold and laidback! If I had to move to an American city that wasn't New York, DEFINITELY San Francisco. It's in my top five world cities. :3

San Fran was SO wonderful! I went there last year for my birthday and we got to see the tour of A Chorus Line! But we were only there for two days, the rest of the time we were at our friends condo in Capitola, which right next to Santa Cruz... and let me tell you. It was G O R G E O U S ! I almost thought about transferring to a college there because it was so wonderful.

So, Piano... I'm now smitten with Allison Case, too! And I've been singing "Frank Mills" nonstop all day. It's driving my family insane.

Piano, I saw the Chorus Line tour there last year too! Capitola is my favorite beach town and my sister goes to UC Santa Cruz!

AH! SAMN! I looked into going there because that area was BEAUTIFUL!

And Schmerg... :) this is AMAZING NEWS! In fact, before I checked this thread, I turned on Hair, and Frank Mills came on and I clicked the repeat button... so I am listening to it now :) Isn't she fabulous? I still love her singing Paper Planes!

My facebook status is now the lyrics to the first verse of Frank Mills... I wonder how many of my real life friends will think I actually met a boy whose name is Frank Mills?

Add me to the SF love. My crazy alcoholic aunt lives there with her MUCH younger husband, and I'm always begging my dad to pay for me to take a trip out there (I always hope he might, just because it's a familial cause). Think of the possibilities! I still loved it when I went with normal people, too. Gorgeous area.

Mystery of the Day: I got hit in the face today with a ball (a real ball, not a testicle. Sometimes we have to clarify these things), and have a huge, deep cut there now. Why is this a cut, and not a bruise? And this thing was made of foam, so why does my face throb so badly? I'm so confused.

How's everyone else doing?

That is quite the predicament you have there, JAG. Kind of like this one time my mom's friend got hit in the head with a peanutbutter and jelly sandwhich. No one was around except them, and out of nowhere this sandwhich smacks her in the face. I'm giggling as I type this. The world may never know...

Oof. Sorry to hear that, JAG. I hope you feel better soon! And that you don't scar. Unless it's an interesting looking scar, in which case it might help you win Bret Michael's love.

Jag-

1. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

2. Okay now that's out of my system. If the ball hit you with enough force then it could break the skin apart. Kind of like when someone gets punched in the face and sometimes instead of bruise they have a cut. But the fact that it was a foam ball is a little strange.

OMG, the internet connection at this beach house is terrible.

I've been going through BWW and Facebook withdrawals all week. How have you all been?

Thanks, bb. That makes sense, because that ****er was thrown HARD.

Also, thanks mauri. *sigh* Anything to win his love.

Stockard, we miss you! At least the beach is probably worth the bad internet connection, huh?

Eurgh, JAG! Was there a knife embedded in the ball or something?

I still have scars all over my arm from one time when I was six and my then-four-year-old sister gripped my arm a little too tightly when we were crossing a street. Yeah, I'm confused, too!

HAHAHAHA Jag - I'm glad it wasn't a testicle that did the damage - although that would have made for an interesting story.

SAMN - PB&J molotov cocktail??????? - BWAHAHAHAHA

I love how you have to clarify that it wasn't a testicle that hit you in the face. I love this thread.

LOL @ the testicle!

The beach has been sporadic not only in internet connectivity, but with the weather too. Today sucked and the kids are all going insane. But tomorrow is supposed to be nice, which is good since we're going home Saturday.

The lady at the rental office finally gave us the password to the internet for another house they run's internet so we are all sitting here with our laptops checking e-mail.

JAG - Outside a bowling ball, (...and testicle) I've been hit in the face by every ball imaginable basically.... always bruised, never cut.. that's so weird..


I can't find the motivation to exercise today :[ my July streak seems to be over..

ssh, that reminded me of the line from Clueless, where the one girl says she can't play tennis in gym class because she can't have balls flying at her face, and Dionne goes "There goes her social life...."

I've actually gone running every day since I've been here at the beach. I'm pretty proud of myself.
