home again

I didn't want to have to take work home with me this weekend, but you can;t always get what you want. Jay and Carrie are getting hitched this weekend, and i'm going home to witness and take part in the debauchery. These are people I played beer pong or beruit if you will at engagement parties and other dignified events. One of the boys is getting married. this is an important day in history. I'd say a sad day, as another one bites the dust, but I really like them as a couple, so I'm very happy about it.

Meanwhile, I forgot my cell phone in california (i recently discovered that saying cali is something californians just don't do) so this will be a difficult weekend of playng phone tag with people (or trying to remember #s). Fun.

Everyone will be home this weekend, which is great, but also tough as I will only be in town for about 2 days. That;s a lot of cramming. AND I'm determined to do some power shopping, as the bay area is ridiculously expensive. Yay massachusetts,no tax on clothes.

I'm also hoping to get a halloween costume while I'm here. I have this incredible urge to be bacon. Or maybe swedish death metal. or a dead milkmaid.

why do I always wait until the week before halloween to think of stuff.

Ok the plane is about to leave. if you know me, love me and want to see me this wkend, call my 'rents.

Loves.

Sweeney Ridge

After saying week after week that I was going to go hiking, yesterday I finally went hiking. We went up to Sweeney Ridge, which is part of the part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It was even better than I ever imagined, just gorgeous views all around. We only hiked about 5 miles, but it was a great work out, and my knee held up just fine. It was also Fleet Week in SF, so we saw the Blue Angels flying over the bay, unfortunately we weren't close enough to the action to really see anything cool.

Check out photos from the hike.


Special Thanks to Guy, Hari and Eric for finally organizing things.

oh hello

ok, I really really need to start writing in this more. Way too much happens btw each post, I can't keep up!

Observations:

There are a lot of latino men waving signs on street corners here. Like little mini store mascots. It's creepy.

Tenderloin is supposed to be nice if you like beef, but SF tenderloin district is a scary, scary place.

I watched my friend's hip hop band play at a fashion show, then went to a bonfire party on the beach an hour later. I heart SF.

I have started watching more TV lately, too much. I am addicted to Prison Break. I want to marry Wentworth Miller. Major HPA.

It is always sunny here. Every single day. It's amazing.

Still haven't found a good pizza place here.

Wine is ridiculously cheap. Car insurance is way cheap. Everything else is super expensive.

I miss Panera's chocolate hazelnut bagels. And my $255 rent in Pittsburgh.

CA goverment is slooooowwww. It's been over 3 weeks and I still don't have my license plates.

All is well. Super busy as usual. Miss you all!
