The Weekend

In a nutshell!

Friday we went to dinner and then to Left Bank for a quick bite of fondue to celebrate my good grades. Then home early. And then I fought with Suko.

Saturday we.... oh yea! we went to Golden Gate Park. We tried to see the buffalos (Tatankas) but they were in the back paddock. Instead we took pictures with a tree. And then we parked at the sfMOMA lot. Went to the metreon. Hung out there for a whiiiiiile. Going to the stores and such. My favorite pitstop bookstore Chronicle books. and I was FINALLY able to make someone read that scary book "THe House that Crack Built." And we played at the arcade and claw machine emporium for awhile. We discovered too late the wonder of the "Deal or No Deal" game. It's ok though, we got a couple of games in. And let's see... our ticket prizes were... a bunch of crap. a little plastic toy chair game, a whoopee cushion, some candy, and other useless cheap junk. And inthe claw machine I won, not one, but TWO plastic rubber balls. the good kind. THey've got little bumps on them and bounce really well. And then we watched Miss Pettigrew lives for a day.

Review of Miss Pettigrew: It was a generally cute movie. Kind of like Definately, maybe. Super cute and kind warm make you feel goodish. But not like... of deep emotional value. lol, I don't think it was supposed to be? The way I like my movies are the ones that somehow turn really horribly bad and break my heart a little. I want a movie that rips apart my insides and I have a physical, literal, unbearable ache where my heart should be. I liken it to a pulling sensation that shortens my breath. And then it all magically, yet plausibly, works out. It's all happy and makes me believe in hope and love and life again. It's all warm and fuzzy and absolutely perfect. Lol, those aren't high standards, trust me. Miss Pettigrew never had that. It was like small sad, medium happy, sad eyes, small tension, happy happy happy. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it and would readily reccomend it to a friend depending on which friend. But I won't add it to the Top 10.

So after the movie, home to play with the bunny. No fights. good sex.

Sunday:

We had an earlier than normal start to sunday (only 11:45. not early, i know). WE ate lunch at Dumpling King. It wasn't as good as i've tasted it previous, but not too dissapointing. Then Grace left to pick up VIcky.

Adam and I went to Japantown and FINALLY got to explore it when everything was open. Everytime we've been there it's been approximately closing time! There were more cherry blossoms, but we took no pictures. Pretty windy out. Really busy. Looked at toy shops longer than I should have. I want a Cactus pup. And then to the stationary store for school supplies!

I bought 3 notebooks. Took me FOREVER to pick them. They're all the same. They're a pretty simple thing. No lines, a sort of decorated fron tthat says something generic like "Notebook. Finest quality paper for better writing." Something alone those lines... The paper is a little smoother than I'd prefer, but they were all pretty fine. I love rough paper. TO me the worth of paper lies in texture and color. I like something rough and a little gritty. I love my paper thick and luxurious. But, these will do for now. I didn't buy Airmail paper although I should have. I only love it with ALL of my guts in a very primitive, lustful, uncontrollable sort of way.

I spent FOREVER looking to a good tipped (fine but not too fine), gel ink, clicker pen in green. Without a rubber "grip" sort of thing near the end. (I know I'm incredibly picky. But hell, if I'm gonna buy it I might as well LOVE it, right!?) But I didn't find any. I looked for a very long time, almost settled on a fountain pen.

Also bought animal end post stickies. Like the kind to mark the pages? I thought they were cute and was getting VERY sick of the default post-it kind.

And now?

Just watching Adam do his homework, fucking around online, and gonna go meet Grace and VIcky for dinner soon.

Oh yea, AND I start school on Tuesday. Job Hunt officially starts tomrrrow.

OH, and speaking of school.... I got straight A's. Not as straight as I'd like them i'll admit. I got 2 of my grades back and they were A's. I was very proud and announced to everyone (prematurely) that so far, I had a 4.0. But I TOLD them, I was waiting for one more. But we celebrated anyways (friday and saturday) and then I checked my grades again, I got the last one. It's an A-. What a BUMMER. And I know I sound like a total baby... But... now I have a 3.97. Which is REALLY awesome if you're expecting straight B's. But.... I was expecting straight A's. I mean, i DID get straight A's!!! I'm just too hard on myself, like always.

Ok, I'm done for now.
