My Top 5 Obsessions This Week: #MarkMyWord

My Top 5 Obsessions This Week

1)  Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is back with season 3, cast catching up where we last left Titus on his way to a job on a cruise ship and Kimmy is getting divorced from Richard Wayne Gary Wayne (Jon Hamm). A Sesame Street audition and a Titus parody of Beyonce's Lemonade and that is only the first two episodes of season 3. No more spoilers - watch it yourself.







2)  Paramore After Laughter is a welcome release. I love Hayley Williams and everything she does. This album is filled with treats . The 80s synth and pop flourishes and that voice of hers make this a must have. Hard to pick , but one
fav cut is Hard Times, while the style is so upbeat the lyrics show that everything has not been easy for this band after some internal struggles they emerged with a winner. Told You So will be another hit for them but Fake Happy is a standout track and one of their best.








3) California  Academy of Sciences NightLife is one of the best ways to see the exhibits , drink specialty cocktails, listen to fab Deejays see the stars, and watch penguins play on a Thursday night. It is a different theme every Thursday but always make time for the aquarium, planetarium and the rainforest. This is one of the largest museums of natural history in the world. So much beauty here and not to be missed.











4)  Spent an afternoon shopping at Betabrand on Valencia Street here in SF and ended up having a great lunch at Farina  Cucina Italiana and trying the mouthwatering Caprese Salad and one of their tasty Bufalina Pizzas along with a chilled Italian white and  people watching the afternoon away, then headed by Garden Creamery for a famous Chimney Cone they only serve on Saturdays between 2 and 4. A hollowed out braided churro like sugar cake cone with carmelized banana ice cream. 











5)  Summer will not be complete without attempting at least two new drinks. A Deep Lavender Lemonade made with homemade Lavender simple syrup and fresh lemons and Deep Ellum Lemon Vodka and a spicy Watermelon Margarita with mint and Tajin rimmed glasses. Both turned out Really great and the perfect companion for any brunch.
