Weekend update.

I spent the weekend playing tour guide again. A friend that I've known since elementary school is moving to San Francisco very soon, so we spent most of Saturday afternoon walking around different neighborhoods to help get her acquainted. I sympathize with how daunting it is to apartment hunt in San Francisco for the first time. It kind of feels like just closing your eyes and throwing a dart on a map. All of the neighborhood names are meaningless so you end up wasting a lot of time checking out dodgy apartments that you would never live at in a million years. I'm really surprised there aren't more people working as brokers for desperate apartment hunters in the Bay...maybe in a year or two there will be.



In any case, we started out the morning though with brunch at Absinthe. We amazingly got their before the restaurant even opened so I finally got to eat at one of the coveted sidewalk tables! AND...it was sunny after a rainy morning. I feel ridiculous getting exciting about something like this, but after waiting 1-2 hours on average for brunch, I'm sorry, but it's kind of a big deal! Two bellinis later, we set off for the Mission, Union Square, and ended up the day watching the Bay Bridge lights turn on at Chaya.

I also finally saw The Wolf of Wall Street. I never managed to watch all of the Best Picture nominees for this year (I still hope HER wins!)...but I'll get to all of them eventually. The Wolf of Wall Street was a great film. It seemed to be...furiously filmed if that makes any sense. And who knew Leonardo DiCaprio could do physical humor! I can tell  it's going to go down as a classic...in the same vein as Goodfellas. Poor Leo, I hope we wins an Oscar finally. All in all, a really fun and relaxing weekend. Should you ever find me complaining about something that is so #firstworldproblems, please pinch me and remind me that I am really lucky to be where I am.
