Friday I came in on the train in the morning and then went to the gym before work. I had lunch at my desk and then went for a nice walk at the end of the day before heading over to get my hair did Union Square.
This is the pretty redwood grove by the Transamerica Pyramid:
Then I headed over to Telegraph Hill and came up the Filbert Steps:
I headed up to the top of Telegraph Hill and got some nice pics of the Golden Gate:
Then I headed over to Lombard Street:
I walked over Russian Hill to Nob Hill and went into Grace Cathedral which is so very pretty:
They’ve got a Benny Bufano sculpture! I love his work and the fact that he was a total nutjob. You can read more about him here:
I’m blown away by the AIDS Interfaith Chapel. At a time when so many religions are being so hateful and so homophobic, it amazes me to see how progressive the Episcopalians are. This chapel is not only in the big cathedral in an incredibly prominent place, it has pieces of the quilt in it and an altarpiece either designed by or based on Keith Haring. It’s amazing:
You know I love me a cloister:
I love love love the Masonic Center:
I don’t know a lot about this frieze but I love it:
The view from Huntington Park:
The Fairmont:
The Flood Mansion:
I headed over to Pastel to get my hair cut with Anthony. I’ve been going to him pretty much the whole time I’ve lived in San Francisco and I think he’s the greatest. He took care of my grey hair situation and gave me a haircut and then I headed over to hang out with Nathan. We drank way too much wine. That and the fact that I hadn’t eaten dinner meant that I was a complete mess on Muni on the way home. At one point I got into a conversation with somebody only he wasn’t talking to me and when I finally figured that out I was so incredibly embarrassed. I hate it when I look like a crazy person but sadly that happens a lot. I headed home and went to bed.
