Shelf thing makeover

Today sucked. The only thing that could have possibly made me feel better was to make something. I'm not even going to talk about what this thing looked like before, but it was at least three different pastel colors and had several rusty nails sticking out of it. So I painted it, glue-gunned some 25 cent-a-yard Ikea bargain print on to the back and *poof* a new home for my mint. I feel better now.

Totally non-functional shelf thing turned semi-functional...but WAY nicer looking.

Cymbal clock

Here's half a high-hat left over from that crappy drumset I used to have. I'll use this clock way more than I ever played that set. I accidentally broke the small hand on the other clock I disassembled to get the parts. But it wasn't anything a glue gun couldn't take care of! Neat, huh?

Keepin' time...

San Francisco

It had been a long time, but I finally made my return to SF. I got to see/do/eat lots of beautiful/fun/tasty things. Photo highlights:

The Davids take in the fresh sea air at Sutro Heights Park.

The Superior Palace Chinese restaurant in the Outer Richmond advertises the Land of Enchantment.

Napa in winter. Note to self: next time go easy on the wine the night before a wine tasting trip.

Posing at the Lands End Trail head. Awesome views all around.

"The Gonzalesi" prepare empanadas. Success!
