Broken Foot Update: Week 12

I had my 12-week checkup with the doctor, and although my foot is healing extremely slowly, it is in fact healing. The biggest relief is that surgery most likely isn't in my future; instead, I'm starting physical therapy next week, and I'll start putting some weight on my foot again. Hopefully the physical therapy will jump-start the healing process, and with any luck, I'll be walking again sooner rather than later.

More on Sarah Palin

This video pretty much sums up how I feel about Sarah Palin:

Sarah Palin & Hillary Clinton

This was everything I was hoping it would be.

Pacific Catch

One of my favorite places to go for lunch is Pacific Catch, which also happens to be directly across the street from my office. It's entirely possible that my opinion is a little bit skewed due to the fact that I stare at the restaurant from my office window all day long, but the main reason I like this place is because of the interesting and delicious food.

The photo above is their fried oyster basket with sweet potato fries. It comes with a little bowl of cole slaw, and two tasty dipping sauces: a jalapeño tartar sauce, and a sweet & sour honey sauce. I like to dip the oysters in the tartar sauce, and save the honey for the fries! You'll notice behind the oyster basket is a little dish filled with edamame and goldfish pretzels, which is a special treat that comes free with every meal.

Another one of my favorites at Pacific Catch is what is basically a "sushi sandwich," although it has a fancier name on the menu. It's ahi tuna, seared very lightly on the outside, juicy and pink on the inside, with wasabi mayonnaise, fresh greens, and pickled ginger. It's quite possibly my favorite sandwich in San Francisco.

Playing with my new camera

So, I splurged this weekend and got the Olympus Stylus 1010. So far, I really love it. The zoom capability is good, and the battery life is great. Unfortunately, even with "image stabilizer" I can't seem to hold a camera steady enough to get a sharp photo. Oh, well.

Here are some random photos I've taken since Saturday:

ART XX

Last night, I went to a benefit show in Oakland for ART XX, my friends' really amazing new magazine (online only, for now) promoting women in the arts. They are really great people, doing very cool things, and you should check them out. :-)
