Last day of leisure

Tomorrow is my first day of work, and I'm bummed that my week of leisure has come to such a quick end. It was a great run and I'm determined to get the most out of today.

Thus, I'm logging off the computer and I'm headed to the park. It's a lovely and warm day in San Francisco and I'm totes taking advantage of it!

Artsy fartsy

Every month, The Ringmaster hosts an art opening at his cute little t-shirt shop. Each event comes complete with wine, some munchies, smooth jazzy sounds and a gaggle of hipsters.

Puppy, Chocolate Thunder, Puppy's OFM Periwinkle and I headed to the July artist event and enjoyed the artist's work. One piece immediately caught my eye - it had two pandas on it! But upon closer inspection, I realized that the pandas were en flagrante and that one had apparently climaxed! I debated for a half-second, but ultimately decided I wouldn't want that graphic of a graphic on a t-shirt.

Prec and BrightEyes were both there, as a first stop on their big night out. As BrightEyes helped out with the festivities, Prec joined us for a drink around the corner before he headed back to retrieve BrightEyes. The rest of us decided it was time to fill our bellies, so we enjoyed a nice dinner and some sweet cocktails.

Puppy and I retired early, but Chocolate Thunder and Periwinkle headed out for some Saturday night scandal-making. I'm not sure what all ensued, but I woke up with a text from Chocolate Thunder at 5:14am saying that he was just getting home. Naughtiness...

Happy birthday America!

It's the 4th of July and I'm readying my panda self to head down to the suburbs for a cookout with the family. I rarely see any fireworks on the 4th, partly because it's always foggy in San Francisco, but mostly because I'm a lazy, lazy bear.

Happy birthday also to Puppy, who nearly three decades ago on this day, gained independence from his mom's womb.

Don't fear the reaper

One of the things my week of leisure affords me is time to catch up with my DVR. I've been watching the last several episodes of Reaper and I'm starting to really like the show again! It was pretty boring in the middle, but with the introduction of a girlfriend who may or may not be the devil's daughter and a pair of gay demons (one played by the actor who was Vinnie Van Lowe in Veronica Mars!), the show is actually interesting again!

I have about five more episodes left, so this post may be premature, but I'm totes feeling it right now.

Indulgent Wednesday

Like many other pandas flirting with type-A personalities, I have a list of things to accomplish during this week between jobs. On that list appear errands such as "clean" and "call Guido back" and "laundry." No where on the list did "get massage" appear, yet that is exactly what I decided to do today.

After a quickie gym workout, I walked by a spa and thought that I should investigate a massage appointment for the afternoon. You see, my back's been acting up a bit and I figured a nice relaxing massage might help to put it at ease. Plus, I'd never had a massage before and thought that it was about time I tried one.

So after my lunch date with VALedictorian (pho in the Sunset), I made my way to the spa where I was treated to a 60 minute deep tissue massage, with focus on my lower back. It was quite a nice experience, after I finally relaxed enough to enjoy it. I'm not a panda who likes to be touched by strangers, so it wasn't easy for me to succumb to the idea of relaxing on a table whilst being pawed. But I'm glad I did it because I feel totes relaxed and quite like jelly.

Then, feeling like I hadn't accomplished enough on my list, I took some old clothes to sell at Crossroads and walked away $120 richer! I don't really want to think about how much I originally paid for the 17 articles of clothing they took, but instead I'll focus on the fact that I was going to donate them for free otherwise.

"It's gooey"

Roommate J sent this around and I cannot stop laughing! It's totes wrong, but I absolutely love it.

Uninsured

I just realized that I've joined the millions of uninsured Americans today. Since it's July, I technically left my job last month and a my new jobby doesn't begin for another week, so I'd best be careful over the next seven days...
