Newsweek My Turn for this week is awesome
My Turn is my favorite article in Newsweek, every week I get the magazine I flip straight to that section. Last week a woman wrote a piece about being proud of your heritage and the importance of being bilingual. This week the article was written by a man that rings the Salvation Army bell.
The holidays!
It's my favorite time of the year once again, and this time I get to be in the city for the holidays. I love walking through the city at Christmas time, everything is lit up, it's cold outside, and they've got the annual outdoor ice rink at Embarcadero Center [picture]. I went there last night and checked it out after getting off the ferry from Vallejo (was home this weekend).
I took a break from work around 7 and walked down Mission Street to Embarcadero by myself to go get a Christmas tree. It was so cool seeing all the decorations that people have put up for the holidays, and walking down Embarcadero at night next to the water with the Bay Bridge in front of you is stunning. I got to the place where they sell the trees on Embarcadero (only 3 blocks from my apartment), and picked one out pretty quickly. I need to get a camera so I can take pictures of it and post them... It's not a big tree, but after hauling it back to the apartment by myself, I was glad I didn't pick anything bigger.
I'm having a great time here in SF, work is awesome, roommates are great, and most of all... Christmas is in 15 days!
I need to take my camera back from James... grr!
I'm getting to love Tumblr, all the guys from Connected Ventures totally ruule. I'm going to put it up on sdpurtill.com pretty soon here.
Happy Holidays! (I'll probably write before Christmas, but no guarantees)
Ahh! My birthday is coming up…
I've never been a fan of celebrating my birthday, but I'm going to do something this year. I turn 19 on Thursday! Not sure what I'm going to do though. Any ideas?
I'm going to start blogging again, it's been a while since I sat down and wrote.
