HKG-SFO

weekend in san francisco went by so fast. as expected it was a whirlwind of drinks, very little sleep, a wedding and a miserable monday hangover heading back to the airport to top it all off. i waited till the last minute to book my flights. waited until 5 hours before checking in to book the hotel, and yet everything just happened to work out. when the fortune teller said i have good luck, i guess that's what he meant by it. u get what you overpay for when you book memorial day weekend last minute. i got hammered tuesday and wednesday, so i decided to take thursday night off before heading to the airport friday morning...and off to SFO i went.

marlowe - cuz esther thought i wanted american food. but when it comes to american i typically crave pizza....marlowe was good though. it fits the description..."a neighborhood restaurant and gourmet go-to for locals and visitors alike, Marlowe is an intimate, bustling dining room that feels like you've dropped in on a dinner party at your best friend's house"

the food is typical american cuisine. porkbelly. mesculin, tartar. poached eggs. baguettes. cast iron plates and tapas to share. the new american cuisine that's served tapas style. with micro brews and a nice expensive wine list. cook it less, and keep the natural freshness of local produce. i ate. i drank mostly. and got hungry real fast afterwards....typical

it was great to see esther and brian after their wedding. brian picked me up and i think i finally felt fully comfortable around him. i got to see him at home, in his element and him with esther. he's the foundation to esther's quirkiness. he cleans up after her. he curbs her urges to overspend on eggs and pasta sauce. he takes care of her broken iphone screen immediately, and is the obvious ying to her yang. i tried to get some rest on the couch watching prometheus on demand before dinner and drinks. but that just turned into another episode of alex can't sleep and esther asking me about janet. and how i should move back. and how asia is not my real home. and then when we were having drinks. janet and esther disappeared for a long talk about something....and when they came back esther proclaimed "i like her". it all moved so fast after that. we went home....drank expensive wine like it were juice. at leftovers and woke up the next day on the aerobed to brians whole wheat egg mcmuffin.
