I just got a Sparks flashback. Do you remember the 80s band Sparks? “I
wanna go to new places tonight, I wanna go to new places with you, and
after a while we’ll stop off for a bite, sammy sammy sammy sam sammy sam
sam.” The sammy part isn’t really in the song, just that’s the word you
use when you can’t remember the words. Anywhooo, I’m on foot today and
decided to check out a rose garden in piedmont my friend told me about.
It’s really a lovely place. You’d never know it was here. I turned up a
street that I thought it was on and was looking for someone to give me
directions, I really didn’t think I was in the right place until I saw a
walkway and a sign that said “no picking the roses.” Its hot today and
the shade feels nice. There are pools that look so enticing. I dont see
how they can people out of them on a day like this. Reminds me of wading
in the big fountain under the eiffel tower with eiko in paris. Now THAT
was a hot day.
My painting class is done in three more days, as is the cat sitting.
It’s been really nice to get to know the east bay. I like it more than I
thought I would. This place is all right. I think I’ll head back through
downtown now and pick up a vietnamese sandwich. I’ve been told is the
best around. Meet me at 11th and webster.
