This morning, I ran out of the house without the essentials to get me to work quickly – MUNI/BART pass or cash. Unfortunately, my keys were also sitting next to the pass on the kitchen counter, so I couldn’t just run back inside. I was already running a little later than I would’ve liked, even though I don’t technically have to clock in at a certain time. Luckily, I had my wallet [sadly, no cash], which contained an ATM card.

Since I wasn’t using a B of A card nor did I have one of those no-ATM-fee Schwab cards, I would have to incur some sort of fee anyway. So I ran inside the liquor store down the street instead of trekking for another five minutes to the bank.

Of course, the story would not be without extra complications. My ATM card got rejected. What?! So an extra seven minutes over the phone with a customer service rep. Apparently, the ATM card was linked to a closed savings account. Good going, Shitty Bank [Can you guess which bank this is?]!

The ATM fee of $1.99 – not horrific. AND the guy running the store did not even blink an eye when I, without having made a purchase, went on and on about my horrible morning and then asked him to please break a $20 so that I could catch the bus.

OMG, lifesaver!

On Sunday, I went indoor rock climbing for the first time. Oh man, my arms were super sore for the last few days. Even areas that normally do not hurt were sore, such as the armpits. Hah! It’s an interesting sport. Very individualistic in that you really have to push yourself when you are so far off the ground and figure out where you need to go by yourself. At the same time, you need a belaying partner too, someone to watch out for you.

I know that if I’m straining myself that I must be 1) super weak, and/or 2) doing something wrong. Maybe I should do other exercises to strengthen the arms. As for technique, I’m just going to get used to climbing a bit first. I’ll work on technique when I can.

I plan to go again once I’ve fully recovered.

Imagine these lanky arms up a wall. My belaying partner said that I looked like a spider. Hahaha. The shirt is from BustedTees who is having a 24-hour sale on their tees – all for $12 on April 23rd. I wore it out on Friday night when we were doing the usual Friday night bar crawl. Good times.

Sunday afternoon was spent in the Mission District, snapping shots of murals and street art. They’re the hidden gems of the somewhat grungy neighborhood. I brought both my regular and zoom lens, but I was rather lazy and left the zoom lens on for the stroll.

The first appears to be Pac Man eating toast. The second is a close-up of a longer word. I’ve only captured the “Demon” portion of the word. The third is a spiky duck. It was hanging off a power line. Since I had my zoom lens, he was an easy shot. These pictures should be a little easier on the eyes than those Twitter updates anyway. More later, maybe.

That is how many I stuffed my face with last Tuesday night. GROSS. I’m barely recovering now. It was part of the 2nd Annual Arby’s Olympics. I’m fairly certain there are others out there who can consume more than 35 of those suckers, but ugh!

I really have no idea why I actually look happy to see these. According to the Arby’s Nutrition Calculator [pretty neat feature on their website], I have consumed the following:

Serving Weight: 784 g
Calories: 2,474
Calories from Fat: 1,393
Total Fat (g): 154

You grossed out yet? At least I loaded up on the calcium with all the cheese in those potato bites.

Took a few shots this Saturday with the Nikon. Luckily for me, I have a sister who doesn’t mind being the occasional model for my experiments. She also has fantastic ideas if you leave your camera in her hands. Yes, I did mess around with these in Photoshop. Guilty!

We started off the day messing around in the kitchen. I took a cooking class the night before [company-sponsored] and was trying to make one of the recipes for a potluck during the day. Alas, the food didn’t turn out as good. Oh well. At least I am even bothered to try! Brought the finished product to the potluck, stuffed my face with everything else, and then spent the afternoon wandering around the Richmond District. A former colleague’s girlfriend recently opened up a boutique, so we stopped in to check it out. We tried having dinner rather early and ended up ordering way more food than we could finish. We wrapped two of the three dishes to go.

A relaxing, random Saturday.
