every day's a new dumb adventure
A tangled web
Today was one of those glorious vacation days. You know, the kind where you wake up late, eat some foods, laze about, hang out, eat some more foods.
It started off with a desire to find a dining table and a hankering for a bloody Mary. This meant heading down to the furniture stores in the mission and stopping by ti couz for a bloody Mary and tasty crepe. On our way there we called up anneh. Her mom Betty is in town so we thought it would be fun to meet up. I had the scallop tomato crepe, and for the record, I think I am allergic to those kind of scallops. An hour or so later I was itching like crazy and my skin was oddly blotchy. Luckily Randall is smart and suggested I take a benadryl. I did and the blotchy went away and more importantly, the itchy did too.
Afterwards Randall and I walked home, stopped by bi-rite, ran into Laura (we always seem to see her in the same place), and then watched a bunch of movies (secret of kells was gorgeous to look at but lacked plot development, while 3:10 to yuma had an I don't buy that ending going on).
After an afternoon of house-lazing, I hustled on down to the movie theater where I met Erin. She and I are both like 11 years old and thus we wanted to see tangled. I should let it be known that I might actually be more like 12 going on 13 in that i thought it might be kinda lame, but it wasn't. It was actually really cute and I genuinely liked it. Oh and I'm not really the biggest Disney/fairytale fan. But it was fun. And the music was more broadway than Randy Newman, so bonus points for that.
When the movie was over Erin and I made a pit stop to katana ya where we had beers and butter corn ramen. Essentially ramen soup with pats of butter and corn niblets. It was a special kind of delicious.
After the nom-fest, it started raining so I caught a cab home. When I got home the cab driver gave me a 3 minute lecture me on how I should've had him take gough instead because of the rain not mixing with the F train tracks. He never suggested we take gough so how was I supposed to know? Seriously. 3 solid minutes of cab driver lecture about safety. It was so odd.
Speaking of odd, don't miss the new Randall sweater. Wes used this sweater when he dressed up as Randall for Halloween last year. Then later wes kindly gave Randall the sweater. And guess what? It's his new favorite. Can you blame him?

Taking a risk
This evening Randall and I braved the bay bridge to head over to jessi
and chris's house for game night. There were 10 of us there and so we
had two rooms for gaming. In room one was the ever popular settlers of
catan (you know, the one rock for a sheep game). In room two was risk.
I ended up conceding my catan spot (there were a bunch of n00bs who
wanted to check it out and I'd played before), so I joined team risk.
Fun fact: I don't know if I'd ever played risk before. I didn't win,
but came in second. I had no idea what I was doing at first, so I'm
sure that's why I didn't win. I'm sure it had nothing to do with
cyrus's world domination skills. Nothing at all.
Ps. For dinner jessi made us a delicious tomato and goat cheese tart.
Nom!

Nom!
i was looking back to see if you were looking back at me to see me looking back at you
technical difficulties ate my post, but the gist is my memory is really really terrible. i always joke about how bad it is, but this is a true story. less than four years ago i saw massive attack live at the greek (with liz fraser even). tonight i got annoyed when randall tried to tell me that we'd seen them. i insisted that i'd never seen them before and that he must've gone with someone else. about 3 songs in i realized i had seen them. seriously. i was like waaaaiit a minute. maybe i have seen them
so when i forget your name, or your birthday, or what i said/you said, or some outing we went on a few years ago, please try not to get too angry with me. okay? it's not like i want to forget these things. also, shit if this happens now, can you imagine what will happen in 25 years?
and to be 100% honest with all of you, this is the main reason i even keep this dumb blog. mostly so that in four years time when i think i'm seeing massive attack for the first time, i can look it up and go, oh wait, i've seen them before, and actually i've seen them twice even!
