An Eggcellent Day


I went to explore the Botanical Gardens and the Japanese Tea Garden on my day off. Despite being a San Francisco native (or at least someone that was born in San Francisco and raised in Kentfield, which isn't far from SF), I had somehow never visited either of these spots. And even more embarrassing is the fact that I work at the California Academy of Sciences, and have worked there for the past 2 years, which is mere steps away from both of these attractions. But hey, better late than never, right? They were both so beautiful, and I'm definitely planning to take some lunch breaks in the Botanical Gardens in the future. Anyways, I figured what better occasion to show off my new egg shirt from The White Pepper.

Oh and apologies for the redundant photos, I'm still trying to slowly get back into the swing of remembering to take photos of my clothes. This was kind of rushed because I was so busy looking at all of the plants and ponds.

Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories


It's funny how I was so excited for October and had all of these outfits and photos planned in my head, as well as lots of my favorite horror movies that I wanted to share screen caps of. And then the Giants were in the playoffs and ended up winning the world series, which essentially took over my entire life this past month. Luckily for me, I seem to enjoy Halloween themed things year round, so I'm sure I'll just end up sharing it all anyways, regardless of what month it is.

However, one show that just concluded this past week that I am currently obsessed with and would love to share and discuss is Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories. I've always been an avid Tim and Eric fan, ever since I first saw Tom Goes to the Mayor back when I was in highschool. I was thrilled to hear that they were releasing a Twilight Zone inspired show, and was so excited to see how it turned out. I admittedly wasn't sure how well they'd be able to capture that eeriness, but I shouldn't have ever doubted them, because this show is a winner. It still incorporates their unique humor, but also has some of the most unsettling scenes, visuals, and concepts. It is also, like all of their past shows, only 15 minutes long per episode. The show doesn't take itself too seriously, but definitely evokes that incredibly uneasy feeling inside of you as you watch. Some episodes are more lighthearted than others, and each episode is still full of moments that make you laugh, but then the laughter turns into nervous laughter, as you wonder how far they'll take certain scenes. I cannot recommend this show enough. Watch it as soon as you can. I'm already looking forward to a DVD release with weird extras and bonus features. Additionally, check out these posters that were created by Duke Aber for each episode. Here's hoping they decide to do another season. 

You can check out the pilot episode here, and if you have a cable provider, you can watch all of the episodes on Adult Swim.
