Lady in Anticipation

I got an email today from the HSMP people. They said that a decision has been made on my application and that they posted it in the mail last week. It should arrive any day.

They couldn’t tell me whether or not I had been approved, but I’m cautiously optimistic that everything is going to turn out for the best. I can’t believe it only took a week for them to turn it around!

Lady’s Guide to the Fort Mason Book Sale in San Francisco

Last summer in the Singapore Airport:

Me: Would you call me bookish?

My Boyfriend: I believe I already have called you bookish.

Me: Laughter. Oh. Right.

My Boyfriend: Even though I believe that you would rather be in the company of books than in the company of people, I still think you have decent social skills.

Me: More laughter. Thanks. [I guess]

Today I went to the annual Fort Mason book sale in San Francisco. I went there expecting to be enraptured by all the books.

Instead I found I was more interested in the people. A true lover of people watching, this place was a visual feast for me.
