San Francisco!

I really, really like the city. I tried to take pictures but it was kind of an epic failure :( But I tried, so effort should at least count for something, eh?


A street of some
sort, apparently








More large buildings. They are
plentiful downtown:



This is an insanely cool building. The part
that you can't see is the Prada and the Coach
and the Gucci (Guchi? Alas, I fail at any and all fashion-isty things) and the Bloomingdale's that make up this place. There were many exorbitantly-priced clothing items. I guess I better get to writing The Next Great American Novel if I'm ever going to afford stuff like that, eh? Maybe I should just name my first book that...then no one can dispute what it really is.

The true tragedy of all this, though, is that I deleted my best (and really, the only good) picture on accident.

It was a mannequin-eating dinosaur.

Which was pretty awesome. You don't get much cooler than that. I'm not sure that I entirely understood its function in a very upscale clothing store, but why not, right? Perhaps the decor-designers of Bloomingdale's are making some kind of meta-comment about how fashion, while a lucrative business, can easily be destroyed by greater natural forces, like T-Rexes. Never mind the whole extinction thing.

Ah, S.F. Nothing quite like it.
