my neighborhood

yogurt runs are fun. although not good for your weight, but we won't go there.
i thought i would share a little of what i saw this evening when going for yogurt with my friend, amber in our neighborhood.

1 - tiny miniature white poodle with furry puffed tail and paws
1 - man holding balloon assortment shaped like male reproductive organs
2 - men singing (loudly)/dancing to their headphones/ipods
1 - man who randomly shouted "ah" really loud while walking down the sidewalk
1 - man who came up and stared at amber, before saying "youuuu are so beautiful".
1 - group of adolescent kids having a sidewalk on the party in honor of someone's 21st birthday
1 - lady who came to stand by our outdoor yogurt table to read her paper and comment
on man shouting "ah" to us

that was all in a 45 minute period. it was an exciting 45 minutes. the best of the day. :)

my 500 days of summer experience

so i have been remiss in sharing my experiences in san diego. there are many which i need to recount. mostly are in the category of 'Weird and Strange Things I've Seen'. within that category falls something that i just cannot forget to share, so i am doing it now. the rest will come later.

obviously the title of this blogging tells you i saw 500 days of summer, which was excellent. i thoroughly enjoyed it. what i want to tell is after the movie. when walking out of the theater, the lights had not come up yet, and so it was pretty dark. but i didn't miss the lady in front of me holding her miniature schnauzer in her arms, and saying to the people next to her "...i know... wasn't he so good...". all i could think was "really?? really??" wow i was so blown away by the fact i just watched a movie with a dog.
several seconds later, i realized he was pretty well behaved, since i had no clue he was even there. and i found myself wondering if they had made her pay extra to bring in her dog. it was pretty crazy.
welcome to san diego. :)
