what a crazy weekend… saturday was the northern star OYRA sailing race that we didn’t end up finishing. the winds were so light and the current so strong that it was difficult just getting outside of the golden gate. something just didn’t look right when we saw the boats ahead of us moving in reverse. and when the wind completely died, our boat started spinning around in whirlpools. the wind picked up, only to die again outside the gate and we turned back. it didn’t rain at all but i would have gladly traded rain for some actual wind.

i had to wake up at the crack of dawn again on sunday for bay to breakers but it was definitely worth it. i was in better shape than last year and came prepared with some ammunition at the starting line. it felt a lot like halloween with all the drinking, costumes and crazed san franciscans. i felt a little out of place not wearing a costume though. guess i’ll just have to wait till next year. it started pouring just as i got back to my apartment which was fortunate, especially since i was so tired.. and now, 2 food-coma-induced naps later, i’m writing this…

i got a kick out of this last night from my epicurian friend christina:
christina: my spareribs turned out quite delicious
christina: even though i did start a tiny fire
