Figure Eight Nights

G. and I experienced a ten course dinner at Playground 2.0 in Santa Ana. 

It is best explained in this Yelp review.

It was one of those nights where good company, exquisite food, and city wandering was enough. 

Happy Holi

Holi is known as a celebration of spring and peace. It involves music, color tosses, and free hugs.

Spring Things

The roses from G's gifted Valentine's Day bouquet have dried upside down on my wall; new bargain books were added to my library; and my first haircut in four years has given me new confidence. 

Currently enjoying spring weather instead of just considering it as "the lackluster season before the best season, summer".
