SF so far...

Friday, in short
* Slept in/lounged around until 10 a.m.ish, and went on the hunt for 7-day MUNI passport
* Stopped at nearest small market; purchased coffee, but they were out of passports and sent us 4-5 blocks to a Walgreen's
* Spied a cute, gray keeton in a window; got out camera to snap a photo, but kitty left window after noticing being noticed and therefore no photo (will keep eye on window if we pass again ^_~)
* Arrived at Walgreen's; chugged remaining coffee; purchased gifty for casino_queen and a few other things, but they were also out of passports (at least the 7-day ones) and sent us to the ticket booth at Powell and Market
* Snapped photos of cable cars and things along the way; successfully purchased passports; and started the walk back to get breakfast/lunch
* Stopped at a delicious Thai noodle shop at 110 Powell St. ("Bangkok noodles & thai B.B.Q.); smelled so yummy inside; enjoyed tasty Guay Teaw Pad Ki-Maw; hellsop mentioned wanting to pick this place up and carrying it home with him; began walk back to hotel
* Picked up a few more things forgotten when we previously stopped at Walgreen's
* Mailed off gifty for casino_queen
* Pit-stop at hotel to grab a sweater, hat, and gloves knowing that we would be out until evening
* Walked (limped, gimped, whined due to blister on one heel) to Japantown
* Shopped [purchased yummy mushi (steamed wheat) cakes, including the maccha one I enjoyed with my coffee this morning -- want more!, DVDs, small gifty for another person, a cozy Badtz pillow, and some other things], snapped photos
* Caught a few buses to get to the BART
* Took BART to West Oakland stop to meet with kest, but while waiting discovered that Peter's phone was back on central time (probably from when he last used it as a modem to connect to teh internets with his laptop -- I'm using the wired connection), and that we had two hours until we were supposed to meet; decided to take the BART back a stop since there isn't anything at the West Oakland one to occupy ones time
* Wandered around near the Embarcadero stop in an attempt to find a place to eat; lots of big, expensive stores and not much interesting; walked through some of the outdoor mall(s), which was almost like walking in a wind tunnel; found and ate at Pho Hua; tried not to laugh too loud at the lady who came in and said she didn't want to eat the fatty flank (probably because it has the word "fatty" in it :p), tripe, tendon (her spawnling asked about something on the menu and the lady said "I don't want that, that's muscle.")... uhh... "is there just something that is meat?" "meatball and steak" "is that meat?"
* Hopped back on the BART to West Oakland; got stuck under the bay for an extra 15 minutes (they had to turn off power and such to get some "damaged cover boards" off the tracks) -- since we were under the bay, no one had cell coverage and no one could inform friends or family about the delay; kid in front of us tells us "mom's not going to believe me" and eventually he snaps a couple photos of the lights half turned off with his cell and records audio of one of the announcements; someone in front of us who was on his way to the airport ends up playing a one-on-one DS game with someone he didn't previously know across the seat from him; I lament my leaving my DS in the hotel safe since I didn't expect to have time to play it, but end up reading a book Peter purchased in Japantown
* Got to West Oakland and met up kest (erm, I think I just changed tense somewhere up above...); stopped at Lucky Ju Ju for some fun; toured kest's place and met her kiii~
* Took BART back; waiting too long for a bus; got back to hotel; passed the fuck out

Today
* Woke up late; bathed my achey muscles (feeling oogy, might be slightly sick, but I'm going to have fun, dammit!); about to leave for Japantown (haven't had enough time/spent enough money there yet ^_~)
* Eating with japolo and chimeraefae at Schroeder's German Restaurant

Okay... Japantown time! See ye'll later!

Peace,
geek. ^_^
