berkeley art museum and pacific film archive

A few Saturdays ago I headed to Berkeley to hang out with my friend Micah and also, well, Berkeley. It had been awhile.

We headed downtown to check out the new Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive before grabbing lunch at Sliver across the street.

The museum is very cool. The building itself is so snazzy (I wish I would've taken more photos of the exterior), and there are some neat exhibits at the moment. Walls are alternately filled with paintings and objects, film projections and installations.

A few scenes from one of my favorite houses. Seriously- the light KILLS me, it's so wonderful.

Originally I was going to post these photos as part of a larger post about this past Sunday afternoon. But I realized that they stand alone well, and they also possibly represent my first real (albeit super informal) interior photo shoot.

Yesterday I rediscovered some snapshots originally taken a few weeks ago. It was almost as good as discovering a forgotten roll of film! Anyways, these were taken on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in the Mission District. Because when you're waiting in line for ice cream, it's a great time to pull out your camera :)

I've been working full-time now for a month plus a few days. It's no joke. The weekend comes and goes before I know it, every week. Today, I woke up two hours later than I have to on weekdays. I drank coffee. I played guitar. I ate waffles. Then I decided to head to Modesto and do fun things I haven't done in a while (and shop at Trader Joe's).

sunday in the city

This past Sunday, my brother and I plus our two friends, Liz + Beau, skipped town and traded the valley for a much needed day in the city. It was the most perfect, refreshing day. Here are some scenes :)

Last month my Grammy and I sort of repeated a little day trip we took in April, with a few changes:

My brother came along (a welcome addition).
We lunched on fish and chips at Half Moon Bay Brewing Company (thanks for the recommendationNatasha! :)).
We had ice cream at Marianne’s in Santa Cruz (my Grammy has been going there since she was a young girl!).
We extended the drive to include Carmel.

a bit of berkeley, a bit of sf

Last Tuesday I introduced my aunt to two of my favorite things: Cheese Board pizza and Bi-Rite ice cream. Originally the plan was just to go to Cheese Board and head home soon after. However, while shopping at Cotton Basics in Berkeley, my aunt found something she really wanted to buy, but her size/color was only available at the SF store.

So, of course, we jumped in her car and headed into the city after very little deliberation. We beat the clock by 4 minutes and were able to get over the bridge for $4 instead of $6. We went to Whole Foods in Noe Valley first, and to Cotton Basics. Then we had ice cream, then we visited a thrift store in the Mission. We decided to head for the Sunset to end the day with salads at Java Beach Cafe and a brief walk on the beach. It turned out to be a very full but very fun day.

sundays in the city

This past Sunday morning we headed to the city for church. We were even able to pick up my friend Micah in Berkeley and take her along! Everything was going along so well until we got stuck in traffic on the Bay Bridge due to a big accident. Multiple cars had crashed right at the end of the tunnel, and it took us a little more than one hour to get to that spot.

In the meantime, we chatted, sang songs, and read bumper stickers to pass the time. I was also able to get a photo of the bridge from a different perspective :)

Oh, Berkeley. I’ve really come to love this place. Up until a few weeks ago, the extent of my encounters with the town amounted to a quick run by the original Peet’s Coffee on the drive home from the City.
