Let's go Giants!!!

From Drop Box
AT&T Park...home of the San Francisco Giants



How can you live in San Francisco and not love the Giants? The excitement of their World Series win still hasn't worn off. Every time someone calls them the reigning champs it just gives me the chills.

But even a championship can't dispel the classic Giants torture. Just last week, we all mourned the probable end of Buster Posey's season. The thought of more than half a season without our Rookie of the Year...well it's just too sad. Not to mention all the other injuries the team has already sustained, including our beloved Panda. The uncertainty of our shortstop, Miguel Tejada, who swings at everything and sometimes seems a little error-proned. Huff's rocky start in right field, followed by a seemingly endless hitting slump...

until tonight and the 3 Homerun game!!! The torture always seems to be followed by amazing plays and great rallies. Giants are back at the top of the NL West. And let's not forget one of our bright shining stars so far this season, Nate Schierholtz. Nate has saved games with his glove and his bat. How can you not love this speedy outfielder with a rocket of an arm and those sexy, athletic thighs?

When it comes to Giants there really is so much to love. A great team for a great city. Maybe someday I'll actually have the money for those season tickets I've been dreaming of. Until then it's dynamic deals and listening to the games on KNBR. All that's left to say is...

Fear the Beard! Let's go for the repeat. You're welcome!

All things Japanese

So it's been a while since I've written, but I'm still here and still loving this city. My life has been a little crazy hectic this month with work, so I wanted to get out this weekend and have some fun. Today Nik and I headed up Irving street to one of the most awesome stores in the world, Sakura. It's a tiny little Japanese shop that sells candy, housewares, groceries, stationary...pretty much anything you could possibly want.

They make great use of a small space putting cute amazing stuff on every shelf in every corner. The owner is super friendly and always very happy. I love this place, and it is always hard for me to walk out without buying a cute little bento box. Today was no exception, I found a cute little lunch cooler bag and a bento box.


Of course we had to get Pocky and Hello Panda snacks as well. If you are ever in the Inner Sunset near 11th Avenue you must check out Sakura. Cutest, greatest shop ever!!!
