jeweled platypus

As part of my commute, I walk for a mile and a half every morning and evening among the beautiful iron doors and tiny beauty salons of Judah Avenue. I think the free coffee at work is turning me into one of those iced soy decaf nonfat organic latte people. I could talk a lot about how awesome my actual job is, but that would just make you jealous.

On Saturday, I ate at a raw-vegan café for lunch, got hipster gelato for dessert next door, then bought a postcard from an Orthodox Christian bookstore, passed by the store with lovely Japanese bowls, and looked in the window of the shop with yumm red bean cakes (all on the same side of one block), and finally hopped on the Muni across the street to go home. I can walk to the beach, a hippie food co-op (necessary for large quantities of organic fruit and soymilk), and Saturday-morning garage sales. The only thing missing is internet at home, but that might get fixed eventually. You will see pictures then.

I thought my work provided free coffe too, until I found a note one day saying "Buy your own fucking coffee"

That all sounds so awesome. If you ever want to visit the East Bay, or show me around the city, let me know, because I am in Berkeley. I love raw vegan food. After I eat it, I feel so healthy and ... clean, for some reason. And it's delicious.

britta, haha, the yahoo clip was so cool. i met some folks marketing adobe and discount tech stuff to nonprofits and they were all impressed at you! they liked delicious. of course i told them about you. in fact they want to do a reality program on what happens when you add groovy tech to an antiquated nonprofit... like "pimp your ride"... except it would be "Pimp Your Nonprofit." could we do it with mhas? haha
