emmalyon and I woke up at aroudn 5:30 this morning because neither of us could sleep (and we'd both been partially awake since about 3:30), so we both made do with drinking coffee and watching morning television--really, why is it that all these channels we have show paid programming overnight, when we know they have 24-hour programming??--and generally trying to wake up.
On the plus side, we made our way down to the farmer's market at the Ferry Building to buy random foodstuffs (including golden beets! yum!) and taking a few neat pictures before my camera battery started dying on me:
A picture of the skating rink at Justin Herman Plaza, just across the street from the Ferry Building:
(For you music fans, it's the same place where this scene from Rattle and Hum was filmed.)
And a cool shot of the Bay Bridge engulfed in fog:
After dropping our food off at the apartment, we went for lunch at Pat's Cafe up the street, where I had some banana and granola pancakes that were huge and more tasty than they had any right to be. As said to Emm, this was a dish where I thought, now why did I think of this?? And now we're back, being lazy and watching college football.
Tomorrow? A bit of Christmas shopping in Daly City (I know, we should know better) and not much else. We're doing most of our shopping online, so this is mostly for random stuff we can't find elsewhere (and throwing in some random stuff we may need around the house as well). This shopping season is disturbingly calm for us...
Right now I probably should be writing (and Emm is being creative by knitting, so I have no reason not to be), but I just finished cleaning up my computer, which did need it...but now I don't have anything else to distract me, so off I go! :p
