weekend

this weekend was actually really cool. usually there’s some cool stuff going on here and there w/ breaks in between… but this time it was pretty much nonstop fun.

i got the 800$ check from the guy who hit my car! so i can finally afford to actually spend some money!

friday: steph and i went down to brian and kare’s house to hang out w/ them, jamie, tom, aaron, and joey. we saw the movie “red dragon” and then all hung out for a bit and drank beers. it was cool to hang out w/ some of the south bay folks that i dont get to see very often. joey, of course, comes to sf pretty frequently so i get to see him quite a bit.. but the other are incredibly lazy and rarely are down to make the trek up to SF. it really sucks cause i feel like i was really starting to get close to these people before i moved northwards.. but now the longer i live up here.. i end up seeing them less and less and i totally feel like we’re starting to drift.

saturday: steph and i took the N judah today and went to go see the blue angels. it was way funner than i expected it to be. i hadn’t had too much of a desire to see the blue angels.. but when we got there, they turned out to be totally amazing. the roar of the jets sounded so damn cool! after that we went to Litquake. it was this event where a bunch of authors read excerpts of their stuff. We went cause dave eggers was gonna read there. it was dope to see him read cause he’s totally my favorite author right now. Next we cruised down to san jo and had indian food w/ elena and patrick. afterwards we watched some tv back at elena’s. just like yesterday… it was cool to be able to just hang out w/ friends and not have an agenda. i’m totally down for bars/clubs/etc.. but it’s definitely nice sometimes to be able to just kick it.

sunday: in the morning i got my copy of “you shall know us by our velocity” signed by dave eggers. dude.. he’s so dope!! next erica, robert, and i went down to santa cruz to hang out w/ sharon. we spent the day hiking around, skipping rocks, checking out the mysterious building at 519 fair ave, and then eating at saturn cafe. sharon is another person who lately i dont get to see too often./ she’s always too busy w/ school. sigh. so it was really cool to get to hang out.

ok.. i’m kinda rushing all this cause i need to leave the computer.. but that pretty much sums up my weekend
