Odds and Ends

Since last week lacked in updates but not in events, I figured I'd post some of what's been going on:

The Big Apple: Thanks to the successful rollout, I get two days off so Jake and I decided to use this time to take a long weekend in New York. We haven't been back there since we moved out last April so I can't tell you how excited I am to be going back to the city I love and to see the friend I miss so dearly. I will also make sure to take a ton of pictures and eat bagels while I am there.

This is talent: Dan Schwartz's photographs in the last issue of 28mm are some of the most creative I've ever seen. I keep going back every day to look at them again and again. There's something about those colors that pulls me in each time.

Driving: I've finally managed to drive to work all by myself Monday morning for the first time. For those of you who've been following my ineptitude with cars, you know this is a huge achievement for me. I am hoping it's a sign that I might eventually be able to drive though I might have to move back to the loving arms of New York just to never drive again.

Turkish Food: Thanks to an article in the San Diego Reader, we found a small cafe in Mission Beach that serves a few Turkish dishes. If you're into Turkish food, check out Olives. It's on 805 Santa Clara Place, Mission Beach. If you know of any Turkish restaurants in the San Diego area, please please let me know.
