So tomorrow will be Monday, which means week end for us, 'cause Art has a day-off. Big plans to run around Denver and see things and hopefully it'll be fun.

Thought I found an antidote for the insanity of The madness I recently finished reading, nope I still sorta  like it, embarrassing that it is. *headdesk* , however I had a great pleasure re-reading A Room with a View by E.M. Forster , I'm surprised people rarely mention it in their must read recommendations, although Howards End (which I found rather boring) shows up in pretty much every single one. A Room with a View is probably one of my favorite love stories of all times, the language is amazing and The film adaptation is very good and the cast is incredible.

I still can't get used to the idea of having so much wildlife running around. In was not like this in San Francisco, at least not for me. Prairie dogs along the trail, squirrels on the fence and bunnies hanging at my doorstep. Heck, I almost stepped on one the other day. Somehow they split the territory, bunnies always on the front yard , while squirrels hang around the back. What a delight for Kiddo to see them though.

I noticed that February is the time when I miss SF so much it hurts. It was like this last year. I miss every single spot I was at, my tiny and noisy apartment with floor to ceiling window..if you press your left cheek to it you can see the ocean and amazing sunset and the green of SFSU campus and hills, the route of 28th bus when you pass Golden Gate Park and Golden Gate Bridge and then go over Crissy Field and see the Bay in all its glory and then stop at Fort Mason and walk to Fisherman's Wharf. Even the trip to Russian Consulate that should have been a PITA  was a pure pleasure because the view from the hills is simply breathtaking. And those city lights...oh, I can't even read "Good night San Francisco" to Kiddo now, because I'm afraid I'm going to cry. And the fog, I miss it so much, the chill of it, how it wraps around the buildings and everything drowns in it.
