I am wondering if reading a book about procrastinating is also a way to procrastinate. Not that I read one, but perhaps I should at least buy one.
The best thing about arriving somewhere in the middle of the night is the wonderful surprise you have the next morning when you first open your eyes.
So, this is the view we have lying in our bed.
What a lovely place. Blue water, snow on the top of the mountains, blooming trees and some beautiful blue birds that I've never seen before.
I really love lake tahoe in winter and summer.

Subject: Morning starts with coffee
To: <post@posterous.com>...most of the time. And I love my Chemex coffeemaker.
Does coffee taste better in a design coffee maker? Yes, it does. Because the pleasure preparing the coffee already releases all the happy chemicals in my body and drinking this coffee makes the chemicals last.

It's been a while that we were looking for "the" coffee table.
We had several tables in mind. I really like the Gae Aulenti glass
table. But very expensive and needs daily cleaning.
I also love the Eames Elliptical Table. It should be an authentic one.
But we never really looked for one. I don't know why. Perhaps it was
just my fantasy but not his.
What we had in mind was a factory cart. We saw it first at
Anthropologie. Yes, they do sell furniture. Really old furniture. But
so expensive. Abusively expensive. 1400 Dollars for an old factory
card is just SO not considerable.
But there is Alameda Flee Market. A great flee market. Miles and miles
of furniture and old stuff and ONE factory cart for 500 Dollars,
delivery included.
And there it is; industrial and old and I love it.

Diamond Heights in San Francisco somewhere on a stairway is this snake
enjoying the sun... or just waiting for us. I don't know. I have no
idea if this snake is dangerous or not. I just thought let's take a
picture as close as possible. If never seen a snake outside a zoo or
animal store. Oh not true. I had this neighbor in Munich who actually
walked his snake in our neighborhood. It was a boa. 2 or 3 meters
long. He fed it with small rabbits. Wondering if his boa is still
alive. And also wondering if it's allowed to have a boa at home. 20
years ago nobody cared.

I have no garden and no balcony but I have a lot of windows with
windowsills. Wide enough to put plants on.
Last year I bought so many beautiful flowers but the joy did not last;
they died within 3 days. Too much wind and sun and apparently the
wrong flowers for this kind of condition.
This time I read carefully every single plant characteristics.
Hopefully they survive. I'm confident. But I must admit I already made
a cactus die.

I don't see that many school buses. But when I saw this one this
morning I had to take a picture.
No sleeping kids inside? I had to check it. Yes, bus is actually empty.
Wondering how many times that happened before they came up with this
funny solution.

Taking the bus in San Francisco is easy. There is a bus stop at every intersection. All you need is 1.50$ and time. Sometimes you can spend 20 minutes waiting at a bus stop. You check the http://www.nextbus.com page every minute, you move with the sun to the edge of the sidewalk. You get cold, because there is always somehow an icy wind when you wait at the bus stop.
But when you finally made it onto the bus it's pure pleasure. Uphill, downhill and beautiful views of the city.
