i woke up today at 10am, after staying up until TWELVE-THIRTY LAST NIGHT. so late! so late!!
did my centering, breathing time for an hour or two,
ate oatmeal and drank coffee,
then decided to go on an adventure walk to the post office.
i had to mail a few things, and chose to walk instead of drive the two miles.
i decided to use the time as my weekly artist's date for the book i'm doing called the artists way.
the book has you take yourself on a date once a week----- an adventure to explore something that interests you. the post office DEFINITELY interests me.... its my favorite thing. after the post office i went to heirloom, my favorite lunch restaurant in south pasadena, and THEN to my sweet cupcake for a dessert treat. my fave. in addition to eating, i do have another hobby: finding amazing examples of horrible type. it usually revolves around brush script: the sickest font to exist. some people say papyrus is worse, but i would argue that brush script shows up on every street corner...... multiple times. it oversaturates our lives with badness.

these two examples of bs were at stores directly next door to each other.
did they have the same designer maybe???

you know its bad when they think that brush script should be in italics. gag me.
on to pretty things: my chicken and pear salad. increds.
i ate my cupcake while walking home, which was a great experience, especially with my iced coffee that i also stopped to get. i essentially supported all of the south pasadena businesses that i like in one afternoon. best walk ever.
my rule for taking pictures is to only take pictures of things that move me. besides the food and the brush script, i also liked this--------------
enjoy :)

(10.30.09 @ 07:47 PM)I would have never thought to go on a self-date like this -- I'm inspired.
(10.30.09 @ 09:41 PM)i love the halo that the empty chair across from you created over your salad! and, that last one of the notebook paper edge is brilliant. brill. iant.
(10.31.09 @ 01:42 PM)Not everyone can go out by themself. I'm impressed. And I liked how you described your experience that day.
(10.31.09 @ 03:37 PM)However, I've never been impressed with Heirloom's breakfast. I do hope their lunch is better.
