Ocean Beach, Muni, & Embarcadero - Photography Journey Through San Francisco

Yesterday, the internet told me that Monday the 24th is historically known as the most depressing day of the year. Naturally, I refused to stand for this kind of talk and decided to go out of my way to soak up some vitamin D. Here's my photographic journey through San Francisco from Ocean Beach to the Embarcadero. After living in San Francisco for three months, I can happily say I finally had some time to explore. Sometimes words just can't describe a scene but when talking about how I felt, these words come to mind; peace, joy, happiness, euphoria, inspiration, sunshine, refreshed, creative, sand, nature, beauty, balance, harmony, love, luck, wholeness, adventure.. you get the idea.

Ponderings

I got new glasses last weekend and bangs today. I think I love the glasses. I was really set on getting tortoshell glasses like my old ones in my profile picture but the specs on the frames were too distracting. So I settled for a thick, black pair. The Lens Crafter guy seemed to know what he was talking about and hopefully wasn't just pointing me to the most expensive pair. Hello Prada! And hello coughing up $375 after insurance discounts, etc. but at least they'll last a few years. I went straight to the "bold" section and didn't even try some of the more discrete options. But now I'm starting to wonder..

On my way home I realized my bangs were getting out of control so I stopped by this salon right near my apartment. I think she cut them too short but they'll grow back. She gave me the hard sell. So apparently I need a new straightener ($150 - ca - ching), some $350 hair treatment that lasts a few months (r - i - g - h - t), golden highlights, a few low lights, and of course, I hair cut. I settled on a $36 pre-blow dry Kérastase leave in conditioner and took her card (self esteem still in tact). This, by the way, is the most I've ever spent on a hair product and is probably why my "frizz-tastic" hair has been called out by ex-boyfriends and coworkers alike. Hmmm. Anyway, here are some pictures of the end result, or something like that. Don't say I don't give you anything. I thought it would be a nice break from funny pet videos. Wow.. insert joke about funny pets and my hair here ---

And in other news.. I moved on from being obsessed with Mariah Carey's "Obsessed" song to Shakira's"Shewolf" and just recently Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind." Can one analyze song obsessions like one analyzes dreams? And if so, what the hell would "Shewolf" mean. What is a shewolf? I ponder........
