wow, it's been almost three years since i moved to san francisco! i haven't stayed in one place for three years since college (four years), which was kind of a while ago now. so i guess it's time to stop thinking of this city as "just a place i ended up because i got a job here" and more of a home. that might make it easier for me to connect with it. because i always feel like an outsider.
what's happened in those three years you ask?? well, a lot of things that are not really public website material because they involve career or personal stuff. that's what's so tricky about writing for this blog — anyone can see it! i gotta really be selective about what can go on here.
but just to name a few things... did all the usual touristy stuff you do in SF of course — the parks, the gardens, the piers, the hills; went to a few concerts — mostly jazz, one classical, one eurobeat; moved from a boring downtown neighborhood to a much livelier and more colorful neighborhood further out; cosplayed at a sacramento convention; traveled all over for work; visited acadia, seattle, and eureka for fun; ate a lot of good food (this could probably be broken out into its own post — there's so much good food here); splurged on a fancy piano so i can actually practice on a daily basis without having to find some practice room somewhere; and most importantly played a bunch of games with friends.
hmm doesn't sound like a ton of stuff when i lay it all out like that, especially for three years.
i gotta get out more... i just realized i haven't been to the zoo yet? i'm going to the zoo. bye

hey all! i've gone ahead and rewritten this website again. i could go into detail about the new stack and how it's easier to manage and edit but honestly who needs to hear all that. it's better now and doesn't crash when i try to upload new music.
