Things I Did With Julia Yesterday or, Playing House "in a good way"

slept in and then slept in and then slept in

vintage clothes window shopping on Pierce

food eating at Squat & Gobble on Fillmore and Haight/ she had Poached Eggs and Spinich i had Chicken Salad sandwich and mini green salad

stop by D-Structure to say hello to Azikiwee

stroll along Waller for the sake of strolling along a street other than Haight

look at the houses

fruit shopping

"you just bought more fruit for the next 3 days than i buy in a month..."

go look at Dungeons and Dragons crap at Gamescape on Divis...holding up a book with a huge titted vampire on it Julia says "who do you think they're catering to?"

stop by 5 Star Truffles and Coffee for truffles...my favorite Espresso, her favorite Cream de Menthe...we buy (she buys) 20.

stop by boutique jewerly/clothes store where this feather piece was purchased


retrace route back down Waller stop by Bean There for coffee and sitting

we sit and coffee and talk to the birds and eat truffles

to the record store for recored digging

grab a Vice and leave

head to the liquor store for wine

her head buried in magazine i have to grab her jacket and steer as we walk

head home

open wine and read more magazine and look at her sister's wedding photos (ha!)

listen to music

head to the stoop for stoop wine drinking

she says "i'll break up with you if you don't like Barefoot In The Park" i say "awwww, that's so sweet..."

head back inside for dinner, she has leftover Fog City mac and cheese and cheese biscuit, i have some of my roommates leftover polenta and red sauce.

cook dinner and eat dinner and drink more wine

she orders 2 episodes of Gossip Girl off i-tunes, the season finale and the episode leading up to the season finale...some commentary: i liked both episodes, and granted i'm very new to Gossip Girl, but i couldn't help feeling like they wrapped up the whole Georgina/Sara sub-plot WAY to quickly/cutely...oh and also, why does Serena's ex-boyfriend's Dad (i don't know the names of most of these characters yet) give a shit about Serena's mom? i get the whole "they used to be lovers when they were young and her mom made her make a choice/ trust fund or rocker boyfriend and she chose trust fund" thing...but she sucks! she's rich, she's old, she has her trust fund yet she still chooses to marry Mr. Tancock robot dude instead of her true love, rocker dad guy...and it's not like rocker dad dude is a shlub...he's a goddamn famous musician...VH1 did a special on his band (what are they called again, "Phoenix Park" or something like that?)...i mean, he's a celebrity, seems like he would fit into her uppity little socialite world pretty well...he's a nice guy gorgeous celebrity rocker dad with an amazing mansion of an apartment in Brooklyn and i'm supposed to believe he embodies "the other side of the tracks"?...yeeesh, yeah right...short story long, i don't like Serena's mom, i'm not sure why anybody else would either...she's a money grubbing stuck up yatch who deserves nothing but the worst in life...on the other hand, gorgeous nice guy famous celebrity rocker dad dude needs to check himself before he wrecks himself with his pathetic (obvs "recapture my youth" projection) pining over the dried out celebutant golddigger, and how...and how come every actor on that show looks like some other more famous actor...doppelgangers everywhere, let's count a few...there's a Juliana Margolis doppel, a Josh Hartnett doppel, a Kate Hudson doppel, a the guy who played Robocop doppel, a Stuart Townsend doppel, a Rachel Bilson doppel et al. anyway, i like the show, it's fun, i like my girlfriend, she's fun, i'll watch it with Julia whenever she wants.

listened to more music and went to bed

You have to like "Barefoot in the Park" or else I'll break up with you... you don't have to like "Funny Face," cause it's a lot more... odd. I don't really expect you to like any movie that rates a Vogue fashion party over an evening in a Parisian existentialist salon. And, ironically, "Funny Face" is much less funny.

Thank you for the clarification, haha
