Rent

I hate to say it but i’m really excited to see this when it comes out… In general I’m not a big fan of musicals turned into Movies but I really love this show and the music from it… Hope they did a good job.. I like the trailer at least! 🙂

Novocain

MAN I hate Novocain… Just got back from the dentist and they numbed the whole top of my mouth. Now I feel like I got boxed in the face so I’m hiding in my office waiting for it to wear off

Shoot me now

Another Crazy weekend

Had a FANTASTIC weekend this weekend though I gotta say it made for a miserable work day yesterday.. I did go to work though – I”ve got this really bizzare personal standard of mine that I won’t call in sick because of things I did to myself. Instead I just kinda suck it up and deal – and yesterday I was just super tired..

Anyway.. Friday night I went for beers at the Pilsner with Jason and Kevin and then Brian came to get me and the two of us went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (which was pretty good though I think I liked the plot of the original one much better – made more sense).

Saturday during the day was spent being pretty damn lazy.. hung around the house. Got my hair cut. Recovered the data from the hard drive on my powerbook that died.. That kind of thing… Saturday night we went with Matt and Brian to the San Francisco HRC dinner which was FANTASTIC. Kamala Harris gave an excellent speech at a moments notice, Alan Cumming one an award and gave a fantastic speech, William H. Macy gave Felicity Huffman an award for her work in Transamerica (which looks to be a VERY good movie coming out this year), and to top it off we got some good loot at the silent auction. I ALWAYS walk away from those things feeling inspired and wanting to get more involved – the HRC is a great organization and I highly recommend checking them out and giving them your support..

Then Sunday was Dore Alley Street Fair. There is something about that fair that I just love and this year was no different. Kevin, Matt, Jason, and I spent the day out the sun drinking beers and people watching. Even if you’re not into t hat whole scene I still recommend checking it out. Its definitely a little much but the people watching is fun, the people are really cool, and the weather is almost always amazing. We started off with brunch and then went to the Pilsner to shoot a round of pool while we waited for Jamie and some of his friends. We then hit the fair for a few hours (ok – like 4 or 5 hours) and then we went to the SF Eagle for sunday beer bust. By that point I’d had a few beers to many and Kevin and I went back and ate greasy Chinese food (which we’re both STILL regretting) and passed out…

I’ve posted the pictures from from dore. The pix aren’t of anything bad but not really good for work day browsing either – its my personal site after all.. why censor! 🙂

All in all a great weekend – very San Francisco weekend

Now back t o work… Later folks! 🙂

A nice weekend

So after my rough week the weekend was definitely welcome and very nice.. Kevin and I celebrated our 6th anniversary on saturday and spent the day just hanging out. The weather was INSANELY hot but still really nice. We got up in the morning and packed up a lunch (actually kevin did the work on that one) and headed up to Mt. Tam. The goal was to go hiking up there but, after spending about 30 minutes walking around it was just too insanely hot to do much more – so we turned it into a driving tour instead – stopping at all of the pull outs and admiring the view. We had lunch at a big amphitheater up there and then drove slowly down and around the mountain.

Then.. After we got back to the city, showered, and took a nap, we headed over to Nickel spa and got massages which were AMAZING, had dinner at Red Grill and then headed over to Randy and Rick’s new place for their house warming. Night was fun though I did have a little more to drink than I probably should have thanks to Randy’s cosmo punch..

Then sunday was Daniel and Bert’s wedding which was SO NICE.. They had their wedding up at a hotel in Sausalito which was just stunning. The ceremony was really wonderful (especially how cool and loving their family was) and the dinner to follow was fantastic to boot..

All in all a great weekend.. just what the doctor ordered..

And next weekend? HRC Ball Saturday night followed by Dore Alley Street Fair… Looking forward to it! 🙂

Tragic Fire

From our humor mailing list at work:

Crawford, Texas (TODAY, NOT AP) – A tragic fire this morning destroyed the personal library of President George W. Bush. The fire began in the presidential bathroom where both of the books were kept.

Both of his books have been lost. A presidential spokesman said the president was devastated, as he had almost finished coloring the second one.

Tennis ball meltdown

Uggg… So yesterday was probably the closest i’ve ever come to just melting down into a puddle of jell-o underneath my desk. This week has been a SERIOUSLY rough one from all perspectives and its only Wednesday. I had what felt like a hundred different things going on at work all on the same day ranging from things I needed to work on with employees to customer drama to scheduling drama to you name it. In the middle of all of that I got a phone call from my Dad regarding my Grandma S who isn’t doing so well saying that she was about to go into surgery. All that combined with some other stuff that was lingering in my brain from before the day began all added up to a whole lot of stress all rolled up into one big ball.. I kinda felt like I was standing in front of a tennis ball pitching machine without a racquet. I REALLY have to learn how to stop, take a deep breath, and just take things one at a time – unfortunately my job and my life doesn’t allow that – I just have to do my best to keep all of the plates spinning and, if one has to fall, make sure its not the expensive one..

Anyway.. sorry… just had to vent and this seemed like a good place to do it… things are more under control today… still lots going on but at least my head isn’t about to explode! :):)

More to come!
