well, the time has come to say goodbye until the next OK adventures. i’m sure you’ll miss us. but until then… here’s why YOU should NOT travel with kat.
lbt2

g: yeah, sureee. that’s a pathetic excuse o: what are you talking about! g: i know what these yearly trips are - your lesbian trips! o: hahahahaha g: there was london and now san fran… your lbt2 o: what? g: lesbo trip 2!!!

In her defense… I have four wine glasses stashed away in my backpack. :D
SFO Terminal 2!!!
Checking in from the awesome new terminal on free WiFi, just because I can.
1) We’re early for our flight 2) I have two new books for the trip! 3) This Caesar salad from the organic restaurant is legitimately delicious (for once, I love you, crunchy cities!) 4) I also have a full bottle of spring water filled up from a nice little fountain in the middle of the terminal.
Virgin America is...

as kat dramatically posted earlier with her artsy fartsy post - i left her at the ferry plaza farmer’s market to eat breakfast/lunch/brunch with my aunt. on my walk to chinatown, i reveled in the fact i was walking around in the beautiful city of san francisco and knew that one day, i will live in a city where i could walk everywhere.
seeing my aunt was awesome. know that i’ve never...
Beautiful soul
I ended up bringing my old laptop (circa 2007) to San Francisco. Slow as it may be, filled to capacity with college photos and movies and MP3 files, I’m so glad it’s here because I made a playlist once titled “Nostalgia for Olivia” - a bunch of songs she likes, or I like, or that we downloaded off of the UT DC++ network back in the good old days.
So true
a.k.a., the “if you ever post again that I don’t love you, I’ll kill you” post
We were strangers starting out on our journey Never dreaming what we’d have to go through Now here we are and I’m suddenly standing At the beginning with you No one told me I was going to find you Unexpected what you did to my heart When I lost hope you were there to remind me This...
YOU'RE!!!
love me
all i want is for kat to love me. is that too much to ask?!?!?! YOU’RE SO MEAN!!!!!!!!!!!
Hypocrite, Installment 2
Today, it was Olivia’s turn to whine all day. I’m cold, I’m sore, this hurts, that hurts, I’m full, I’m hungry, I want this, I want that. WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT.
bite
kat just bit my butt. now it stings.

Choosing one's poison
Warning: tl;dr
Olivia has left me for the first time this trip. Her aunt lives nearby, and they’ve made plans to catch up over coffee or something.
“Hi, yi-yi!” I hear Olivia chirp brightly into the phone last night. Her aunt doesn’t own a cell phone, so they set a date, time and place well in advance and confirm the details multiple times… Just in case.
Right, the...
Talking Carl
If anyone wants to know what Olivia’s voice sounds like, it’s almost a dead ringer for this.
Kat: Keeping it Real - A Rebuttal
Hey, someone’s gotta say it like it is.
Also, I can whine WAY more than that. Don’t underestimate me.
kat: the whiner
how much can you whine?
- it’s too cold - i’m hungry - i’m tired - my toe hurts - i think i sprained my toe - i’m so cold - my phone is running out of batteries - i can’t blog anymore - i need to go back to charge my phone - this is all whipped cream - i have something against white socks - i’m so tired - sushi is too stressful - my camera is heavy - i’m...

Well...
i never said i was good at math.
Hypocrite
Olivia brought four pairs of shoes, yet she mocks my five.
And we’re here for THREE nights.
A tip
How to tell Kat’s blog posts from Olivia’s:
1) Kat capitalizes all sentences like a proper graduate of the school of journalism. 2) Kat’s posts are interesting ^_________^
[CORRECTION]
kat’s posts are very, very long - sometimes too long to even bother reading.
*yawn*
Olivia never writes about anything that anyone would want to hear about… so let me give you guys the real scoop.
At weddings, they often say “I’m marrying my best friend.” Despite the fact that we ARE in San Francisco, this emotion has not reached me yet. I would not want to marry Olivia Wong. Let me tell you why.
Okay, first of all, who wakes up at 7 a.m. local time...
we're here
arrived last night at 9:40pm pacific time. had a taxi cab driver that warned us of sex offenders on sixth street (haha, ironic). went searching for food at a place that reminded us of austin next to our hotel then regretted it once we ordered… then were happy when we took our first bites - yummy food. [i just looked on yelp and fly bar got 4 stars for 291 reviews, score!] then we promptly...

trip #2 - the SFO edition
it all started with groupon and an email on march 2.
Hi girls,
So groupon dallas today is $25 for $100 toward Virgin America flights to either SFO/LAX. It’s a pretty sweet deal because VA is running a $99 one-way special right now (but it ends tomorrow). Most weekends that I checked are $99 one way so with this groupon - the flight would only be $144 with the groupon cost. Just have to...

time for trip #2. coming soon.
Watchwiggle worms
Just Muggles
We spent extra time and effort trying to get to the King’s Cross train station to pay homage to everyone’s favorite wizard.
But once we got there, we couldn’t find out how to get in to platforms 9-11. So we had to ask. (Here’s the recap of the process)
We felt stupid.
But here’s proof we made it…
Not through the magical portal, though. We fail. :(

Epic Day 2
In the wake of our epic photography/travel/eating adventures, I’ve kinda lost steam for my epic verbosity. You get captions instead. These are from Saturday.
Opposing hangover cures… Kat: A hearty meal
Olivia: OJ and bed
After we recovered sufficiently (read “sleeping past noon” for Olivia ^_^), we walked out to Piccadilly Rd. to buy half-price tickets for a...
Gertrude
I’m not allowed to tell you about Gertrude, but you should ask Olivia about it sometime. I guarantee you a funny response.(Profanity might be involved)

abbey nine three quarters
wind and rain
chart show
Olivia and I like sitting in jammies in our big bed, watching the UK Top 40 on TV on loop.
We have several songs stuck in our heads now.
They are not the songs we would have chosen to have stuck in our heads.

London Bridge is raining down
London climate reminds me of Taipei’s rainy season… You can expect rainfall pretty much every afternoon, but once it’s done drizzling, it’s usually good for the rest of the day.

Video killed the radio star
I started a ~700MB batch of photo uploads before I went to bed at 4:00 a.m. I woke up at 10:45, only to find I still have 27% of the upload to go. We’re killing the Internet!! So I guess I’ll have to post about something else. Olivia at London Bridge
One of my favorite things about our hotel room is that we have a TV channel that loops Top 20-40 music videos on repeat. We leave it on...
