San Francisco: I left my heart there

THINGS I LEARNED IN SAN FRANCISCO

1. Emaciate and Emancipate are two very different words meaning very different things.
   
   
2. Since I used "emancipate" incorrectly, I might secretly be a racist. (Not really)
   
   
3. The streets in San Francisco are not serious. They are joking. There is no way in hell the streets actually exist in a 90° angle like that. Only they do.
   
   
4. Chinatown may just be the most awesome place ever.
   
   
5. Al Capone was a "Scatman" whilst imprisoned.
   
   
6. You may tell yourself that you paid $10 for 5 hand-drawn mini-zines, thus empowering and fueling the independent publishing/zine culture while at the same time gathering vital materials for your thesis. But really you just gave $10 to a drug addict.
   
   
7. Olafur Eliasson is a pretty amazing artist.
   
   
8. Lightly grilled polenta served over fresh beans stewed with local heirloom tomatoes and covered with lightly sauteed broccoli rabe is so fucking good you will want to lick your plate clean, but will have to refrain from doing so because the restaurant you're in is sort of fancy.
   
   
9. Taking dessert (vegan chocolate layer cake) "to go" and saving it for the following morning so you can eat it for breakfast while watching Doctor Who is brilliant. You will want to do it every morning for the rest of your life. David Tennant + geek glasses + Chocolate cake = LOVE
   
   
10. Russell T. Davies is so going to get it if he ever meets us. The end of season two just slayed us.
    
    
11. Stephanie is so so awesome (But really, I knew that before I went to San Fran).
