Post Christmas laughter

So before Christmas I was in Fideaux, an upscale pet store in St. Helena, where I found this amazing santa hat. I almost went for the yamikah (spelling?) but I knew that wouldn't fly with the Jewish friends, so Santa hat it was. and MAN did Sammy rock that hat like nobodys business. Christmas eve AND Christmas day. Rockstar.

O-kai-ri!

Back from Japan!
Always a good time, some things I learned:
<-- dont eat cake with worms


<-- volcanic springs stink like hell, especially when wet



<-- Don't get drunk on trains, you will make a mess

On the other side of the Pacific...

Finally made it through finals, packed, drove to California, unpacked, re-packed, and now I am in Japan!  Tokyo to be exact, I was dumb and forgot my photo uploader thingee so no piccies until I come back.  But there was a flight attendant on our flight who reminded me exactly of Ms Swan from Mad TV, hilarious!  

This was totally my horse when he was a bebe

This video is adorable, my horse totally will do anything for a snack, just like this little be be, but in the most lazy way possible.

Gobble Gobble Gobble

Goin' back to Napa Valley for Turkey Day! Hope everyone eats too too much!

Oh-Ma-God

just try and avoid looking at the middle areola...
super serially

on a more Optimistic note...

Last weekend I was at home when Leo passed away, so in a way I was lucky I was able to spend time with him before he passed on Sunday...

Friday was my Mom's bday, so we went to San Fran to the De Young Museum to see the Yves Saint Laurant collection on display, so many amazing clothes it was great. Def check it out if you are in the area.

We also went to the new California Academy of Sciences across the street, it was incredible to say the least. They have a living sustainable roof, so that from the sky it is supposed to blend in with the scenery, a-mazing. Inside there is a rainforest area, it was too crowded so we only saw it from the outside, the aquarium is also worth checking out with the rad albino croc...

And of course, always eating well while at home, we went to Ame for my Mom's bday dinner. Cuddlefish noodles with uni and some black cod = sea in my stomach. yum.
