    what is up livejournal? i appear to have stumbled across an unexpected morsel of free time, which i am squandering on catching up with livejournal and updating my internet diary. the children are off unexpectedly at the sharks game, and yuriy only just got home from work, so we are enjoying a rare free evening snacking on pastries from the russian bakery and watching old movies from the 60s about airplane test pilots.



    i found myself over in little russia again today, so i picked up some more treats from the bakery. currently we are gorging on cherry roll cake drizzled in smetana, which is the russian sour cream, much richer and creamier than us sour cream. this cake is pretty heavenly, i will probably have diabetes by early morning. i also spent some time today out towards the beach after work. it was really a gorgeous day.



    yesterday the weather was also amazing. we hooked up with [info]ninjalie and [info]pauzed to ride bikes around the city. and we literally rode bikes almost all the way around the city, crossing the city from soma thru the wiggle to gg park. then we rode up to baker beach, around thru the presidio, along the marina, down the embarcadero all the way back to the caltrain station. AND rode our bikes home from the train. like 25miles altogether, thru all the whitest parts of the city. white man's oppression ride, lololol




    we came across this hilarious post nye orgy tableau in golden gate park. it's pretty much a hipster mini-saga, down to the tallcan of steel reserve. also included: miller lite bike cap, rolled off bike sock donuts, skinny jean cutoff shorts, ripped cloth (shirt perhaps?), 2 muni transfers, and a nye noisemaker horn.



    it was an amazingly fun bike ride, one of those gorgeous cool crisp san francisco winter sunny days, where it's not cold enough for a jacket, but not warm enough to take off your hoodie. however today i am certainly paying the price for such an ambitious and hill-filled bike ride after a month of slacking off my semi-weekly bike rides and dog walks. my legs feel like stiff jello all day long. still, totally worth it.

    nye, giving thanks, etc

    here is more blogging for you. this nye was awesome. we headed over to [info]nullcherri and dr. j's amazing funtime loft in emeryville with pascal for the best nye party i have been to in at least the last 10yr. this picture was not from nye, but from our xmas party, taken by pascal.



    i only really took those top two pics on nye. however, we had an amazing time. the recovery definitely took a couple days however, it's only this afternoon that we were finally able to leave the house. we finished up bioshock this afternoon. i am really excited for bioshock 2 to come out in feb. i love playing games with yuriy, my favorite part of video games are the puzzles and stuff to figure out, his is always fighting mobs and bosses. i love playing with yura so much, because when one person is sick of playing, the other person is ready to jump right in. with two people you feel like you are doing something together, we are always discussing our strategy, and what we plan on doing next. i think we are going to play dragonage next, but if anyone has any other decent game recs, let me know.




    after finishing up the game, we headed over to the outer richmond to hit up new world market for delicious russian treats. we scored a large slavic bounty, including a couple smoked fish that yura and grep shared. we also stopped at the russian bakery & for sushi.



    i love that we have so much variety of ethnic food in sf, that yura can get the food he misses from back home only a few miles from our house now. plus cream horns man, so delicious.



    i am so lucky to have yura in my life. new year's is always a time of reflection for me, after the busy insanity of xmas is past. my life couldn't be any more amazing, and i couldn't have someone more amazing to share it with. he really is everything i could ever ask for, and every day we are together i love him a little more, and i know he loves me a little more in return. almost 5yr now, and it still feels like it did when it had only been a week.



    most of these jpgs were taken by pascal. thx [info]t12 for always being another photographer around! and thanks to the rest of my friends for being in my life. <3

    xmas day until now

    zaney flying, originally uploaded by hep.

    part of my new years resolutions is to blog somewhere between 50-100% more than i did in 2009. so allow me to fill you all in on what's been going on around here. so, on xmas day after opening gifts and partaking in the town tradition of visiting santa on the firetruck, zaney, yuriy, & i went on a bike ride around the lagoon to chase birds.




    it was super fun as usual. even when it's cold in sf, it's not really too cold to ride bikes super bundled up. we saw several hawks, other raptors, a great blue heron, a white heron, and several other small shore birds. this photo shows how the mountain cuts sun off early from our side of the bay.



    zane and i also took this opportunity to stage some zane in flight photos for our upcoming zane in flight photo project we are working on.



    saturday my best friend from high school, and evan's godmother, emily came for a visit. she lives in santa barbara where she is getting her phd in biblestudy so we rarely get the chance to see her and visit. in fact we probably won't be able to catch up again until her wedding next summer, if then considering it will be her wedding.



    it's always awesome to hang out with her, and for the kids to get to spend time with her. we don't see nearly enough of each other and i don't expect things will be any easier with her working on her thesis & planning a wedding in the next year.



    sorry for the state of some of these images, i leave my camera on specific settings then other people try and shoot with it.



    monday we had lunch with renee, dr j, and pascal. renee gave me the world's best xmas gift which i already bragged about. but srsly folks, the best.



    today and yesterday has been mostly laying around sick. i picked up some sort of stomach ailment either from too much leftover pork in chile verde, too much chicken tikki masala, or too many leftover party cupcakes.




    so i cut the girls' hair, took endless pictures of the cats & xmas ornaments, and watched yuriy play bioshock for me (he doesn't normally play single player games, but he is playing so that i can play too while watching)



    hopefully tomorrow will bring me a lack of stomach roiling and entirely less vomit than today.

    xmas rundown.

    yawner, originally uploaded by hep.


    xmas eve every year we have a big party for our friends and family. we always joke that it's a very mexican xmas, this year's menu was pork in chile verde, bbq brisket, sweet corn tomalito, and various russian salads. there was plenty of other food too. i made a million cupcakes for dessert, double vanilla, red velvet, and gingerbread. plus sugar cookies (mostly for santa).



    it's always so awesome to spend xmas eve with our loved friends who can make it, and family. i only wish my sister could make it out some year soon. i am always too busy during the party to take too many pictures. i hope pascal can post whatever he managed to get soon.




    xmas morning was lots of fun. santa brought lots of awesome gifts. zane got an ipod touch from santa, and the zombie survival guide & world war z from evan. she is an avid reader and writer, this year she did nanowrimo with her writing group, an after school writing program from her school. needless to say she has been engrossed in them ever since. zaney is super into zombies and various themes like that. she also scored a bunch of paint by numbers from her sister which she has been really into lately.



    zoe got a ton of really nice makeup from me and her dad. santa brought her sick new running sneakers, and she got a lot of apple gift cards for apps. she already has an ipod touch, but she is one of those app junkies who loves to load up the latest games.



    evan got a netbook. he is basically the happiest kid on the block. he also got a bunch of other stuff because he is spoiled rotten. his fkn netbook has more space than my macbook. frowny face. he also got new headphones, books and such. his high school allows use of personal laptops on campus. insanity.



    yuriy and i got a bunch of stuff too. i think his favorite thing was a fishing chair. it is also a backpack, as in, is wearable as a backpack, and holds a large amount of goods. my favorite thing is my new extra large camera bag that i can carry 6 lenses in. why do i need six lenses? i am indecisive.



    sorry for the gift list, but this is more for reference for me next year. i hope all of you got what you wanted, or at least what you needed. my last batch of xmas cards will be going out this week, sorry so late, but i get swamped in late dec. what is everyone up to for nye?



    i leave you with the children displaying their favorite gifts:
