Varnish

Save the artists...

Down an alley lined with urine, varnish is a small warmly lit gallery space showing the work of Rob Reger tonight.

Black Man, White House

The sign on the counter of the fish taco shop says, "Black Man, White House"

I'm in the alley waiting for my fish tacos. My feet are freezing because i'm wearing open toed shoes to try to show off my pedicure from the wedding, but these shoes aren't very open toed and don't actually show off my toes as well as I thought they would, so now i'm freezing for no reason.

I want to go back to Hawaii! Oh wait, I will be in like a month. : D

My best friend's wedding!

I just got back from Stacey's wedding!! She was absolutely gorgeous and she had a beautiful wedding, and I was so honored to stand by her on her special day.

I have never seen such a patient bride-to-be. Stacey had many last minute things she had to get done, but she did all of them with patience and grace.

I had so much fun, made some new friends, saw some old friends, and just had an all around wonderful time!

Congratulations to Stacey and Todd!!

Supershuttle!

I'm heading to Hawaii for Stacey's wedding!! Yay!!!!!

I drove into work today to park and then grab CalTrain/bus/cab to the airport. Whatever would be the easiest. I looked up some routes before I left, but all of the options would change depending on when I arrived at the garage, so I thought I'd just wait until I got there and ask the parking guys what they would recommend. They said the Supershuttle!

I figured I needed a reservation, but I called and was picked up within about 15 minutes. It was just about the scariest ride i've ever had to the airport (scarier than the taxis in Beijing), but it was only $17! Woohoo!

UFC

I took Josh out to a bar for the fight tonight to celebrate his birthday - which was earlier this month. We invited some of his friends and headed to the 2nd best sports bar in the country (voted by sports illustrated in 2004) in San Leandro.

UFC is a strangely compelling sport. Not something I ever would've thought I could enjoy - but something I find myself enjoying somehow. I don't know that I would still seek it out if I didn't have a boyfriend who was an enthusiast, but who knows? It's always interesting to watch people fight. Why is that? When a fight used to break out at school, everyone would stop what they were doing and watch.

In UFC, it's a little different from a schoolyard brawl because it's organized fighting done (usually. ...er, sometimes) with a lot of respect for the sport - not just the desire to beat the hell out of someone. But, yeah... It's like watching genres battle it out, (you'd probably have to watch it to really understand what I mean) and that's strangely interesting in itself.
