I once drew a whole bunch of seals off Fisherman's Wharf (in SF?)... that was also where a seagull tried to fly off with a newspaper for unknown reasons but to great comic effect.

Yes, it smelled of fish, but to an oceanside girl living in the desert at the time, it was fine by me. :)

Urgh, a sufeit of denim. I thought the little-cute-skirt-atop-jeans was dumb when the Asian foreign exchange students started wearing it, and now that it's caught on in the mainstream over here it still looks dumb. But I'm an old fogey; what do I know?
