i visited SF once, when I was still extremely naïve and hasn’t traveled much. Someone in orange monk clothes handed this to me when I was walking around. And then he extended a bucket which was meant for donations(?) I’m still unsure. I dug into my pocket, and was embarrassed to only have a nickel. He sighed and gave me some sort of blessing after. i Think I’ve only gotten a nickel’s worth of lifetime peace. I wish I had more in my pocket. whenever I look at it, I feel a strange mix of excitement, which I felt traveling in a big city solo, cringe at my naivety, and guilt that I didn’t offer him more. so I keep it around, because it’s a strange jumble of emotions and I like to dissect the meaning.

* Fortune card
* Virgin Mary that belonged to my grandmother
* Weird capless acorn I keep in the pocket of my princess coat (where I come from acorns are pretty uncommon so I was very excited when I found it years and years ago and it’s stayed in that pocket ever since, even after moving across the country)
* A skipping stone
* Baby Benny tag
* Leather turquoise and copper bracelet I got in Austin when I was 19 on that one trip

i’ve always been a causal basketball enjoyer, finding the game interesting but not having a favorite team or keeping up closely with the game. this year however, i started watching more games and found myself immersed in the playoffs. even hardcore fans have called this run one of the best playoffs they’ve seen recently so as we’ve reached the final 4 (minnesota timberwolves and oklahoma city in the west; indiana pacers and new york knicks in the east.) seeing as none of these teams have seen recent success and their star players have never watch a championship, all the teams are eager to make it to the final. i recommend watching the playoffs and seeing which one of these teams will win the championship and being glory to their city.

i came to visit my aunt who just moved to boise from california and i‘ve enjoyed it here. i was concerned i wouldn’t enjoy it but i’ve been to some cool places such as flick’s movie theater, slick rock cafe for great matcha, record exchange which is a record store with a cafe and photo booth that takes awesome picture, the downtown library where i checked out some books and made a origami frog, and the flea market at the bsu stadium parking lot which had a great selection of clothes and antiques. i leave thursday morning and i can say i’ve had an amazing trip so if you live in boise or find yourself out here these are things i would recommend. first pic is a flea market find, second is flick’s inside their collection of dvds you can rent, third are my library books and frog origami.
