Pacific Standard Time

I’m not a fan of time differences. I know we need them but I always have difficulties adjusting to them. For example, San Francisco is eight hours behind Cardiff, which is why it’s 2.55am here and I’m awake. Meanwhile back at home it’s 10.55am.

But it’s a good time to blog as any. I was going to blog when we came in from the cinema but I was too tired. Too tired even to knit! Yesterday was our second full day in SF and also Andy’s 42nd birthday. I was going to buy him one of the new iPod shuffles but we hadn’t realised that they won’t be out for a month. So after a failed visit to the Apple Store we went and paid pilgrimage to Andy’s favourite place here, Amoeba Records in the Haight. Andy looks for CDs there while I always go straight to the DVD section.

I picked up season one of Project  Runway after Rachael’s  suggestion as well as the seond season of Lost. Now we do have PR in the UK but we have our own version presented first by Elizabeth Hurley  with the new one apparently to be presented by Kelly Osbourne. In fact I’m not entirely sure which channel, if any, shows the American version. But anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing it from the construction point of view.

After that we went to see "Hollywoodland" at the cinema where basically every one acted Ben Afleck off the screen. It was an interesting movie though and better than the mixed reviews we’d read about it.

Now a few blocks from the amc cinema is the Village Pizza and we always go there either before or after seeing a film. I had lasanga which was good and Andy wisely only had two slices of pizza – we’ve had too much pizza issues there before!

And then back to the hotel where I tred to watch Bones and then fell asleep during Justice. All those American shows and no energy to watch them! 🙂

So today, well later today, it’ll be time to hit the yarn stores. I tend to always visit Art Fibers and ImagiKnit and I have an idea of what I might get but it’s still fairly open. I’m also picking up a surprise for Jeni, I have something in mind Jen and hope you like it!

Ok, I’m starting to wind down again so time to sign off.

  1. Say Hello to ArtFibers for me – it’s my favorite yarn store on the planet. Reason enough to visit San Francisco, in my book!
    Hope the rest of your stay is lovely.
