Last night I went to Artwalk with my roommate Bryan. I have lived downtown for about five years and have never been. I was so impressed and happy. Its really great! So many people. So much art. Its really alive and it felt good to be out and about. Safari Sam's at the Regent is pretty great. It reminds me of the Phoenix Theatre in Petaluma which is a very fond memory. Alas, I did lose 20 bucks somewhere out there on the streets of downtown. It was a sad occurrence not to be repeated.
In summation:
20 bucks lost + free wine + art I connect with + art that I don't connect with + good friends + strangers = A great evening downtown

Goodbye to Flying
Yesterday I cut my wings off and took it to a store to be sold off to someone who needs it more and can afford them. It was a sad day. I had to walk back from Silverlake to Downtown and eventually had to take the bus. Since I don't know the bus lines I ended up a short distance from my apartment and continued to walk from there. It was a mopey day. Hopefully my wings will make someone else very happy.

Review: Wurstküche
A new little place in the Art District just opened recently. It serves all sorts of specialty sausage sandwiches and Bavarian french fries with dipping sauces. It has 48 beers on tap and is super funky fresh. Since I don't eat a lot of meat, the wieners aren't really my thing except if I was craving it but the fries are DELICIOUS!! And the have a ton of dipping sauces for them. Try it out!

Black Friday and Cyber Monday
I rarely ever shop on Black Friday. And I wasn't planning on it, but my cousin Justin needed to do some shopping and since I had the keys to Mom's car and a cousin with nothing to do, I agreed to go. First we went to Best Buy. As I've been trolling ebay and Amazon recently, I have realized how much cheaper stuff is if you look for it online. So we didn't get anything there. We then picked up my mom from work (as she had gotten the day off) and went off to Target where I proceeded to sell a woman a camera that was no longer in stock and then watched a crazy fight between and employee and some plain clothed dude who I later found out was an employee also. It was pretty frightening and crowded but kind of exciting to recount.
Holidays can be stressful but not stressful enough to kill someone. I know one man's family is mourning his death after being trampled to death by zealous customers at a Walmart early on Black Friday.
I continued to shop with my mom yesterday. We literally shopped til we dropped. We shopped all over and by the time we were done, I was dragging my body here and there, up and down the isles. And now, I am sitting at Peet's coffee in the Nut Tree complex in Vacaville shopping online for Cyber Monday.
Hi, my name is Eva and I'm a shopaholic.
Review: Thanksgiving
I had a pretty amazing time with my family this year. I had two full Thanksgiving meals. Getting all that food down was kind of difficult but soooo delicious. I had so much food I literally went into a food coma at 10:30 pm. Which for anyone who knows me somewhat well, would know thats crazy early! I got to see many of my family (which was great!!!) and two of my friends joined me for meal #1. My family can be a bit overwhelming from an outsider's point of view, but they took it in stride. Well done Jorjeana and Luke!!
I love turkey!!! Gobble gobble.
