solipsistnationToday we visited an affluent open-air mall sort of thing. I mostly wanted to visit a bookstore because I have read everything in the apartment but ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stophittinyrslf's books about crossword puzzles and people who do them, and I've even started in on one of them out of desperation.
So, off to a bookstore, including wandering around Santana Row (Dude, Santana! \m/ \m/). Today's checklist of California Things:
- a wine bar
- ...located next to another wine bar
- ...with another wine bar across the street.
- a parking garage full of BMWs, Mercedes, and Porsches jockeying for spots.
- ...driven by groups of carefully touseled faux indie kids in calculatedly aged t-shirts
- a stylish blonde woman with tiny accessory dog talking to another stylish blonde woman with a tiny accessory dog. (Different breeds! Collect them all!)
- a beverage store (BevMo! Beverages and More! They aren't kidding, either. Lots of random stuff in there)
- ...that shares a building with a Porsche dealership.
I still crave that falafel, too. THAT, at least, is cheap, but you have to cross a wide region of massive affluence before you reach the place where real people live and buy food and stuff. Plus, it's really good. Fresh hot falafel crammed into a pita, with lettuce and tomato bits and this great thick hot sauce that's just a little sweet. Yum, falafel. Yeah. Totally not obsessed.
