It's a party y'all...

The floor that separates our apt from our upstairs neighbors seemed solid when I was up there but I was way off. I still feel as if I'm apart of the party happening upstairs even though I'm not actually there...joy. 

Today was a day of reminiscing  and fun with Chris Wilson who has been in town visiting; the last time I saw Wilson was at Bonnaroo '07 where we hung out and partied in Manchester, TN for a couple days.

It's good to know that some things don't change...hanging with Chris has been like it's always been--fun. I'm glad that he came up to hang for a day or two before he goes off to St. Thomas for a month or so, he's good people.

today=good

Learning is Fun my ass...

The California Academy of Sciences closes at 5pm...wtf? All of our prep work in route finding and directions didn't include checking the hours of operation--it didn't cross our minds. I figured that a Thursday night would find an after work crowd peeking in the nooks and crannies...but alas the Museum closes at 5 everyday. boo. So we took ourselves across the street to the DeYoung Museum which was closing soon...so we made the best of it and took a stroll through their Sculpture Garden...very interesting:








From there we decided to walk to a different part of town...so we ventured out into San Fran's unknown...The Richmond, Laurel Heights, Pacific Heights and almost to Nob Hill. We've done a lot of walking the past two days and have seen a lot of this place--it's very nice. Really nice homes. But we were exhuasted and needed a break so we saw a movie. Only we didn't see the movie we thought we were going to see. We saw Zack and Miri make a Porno...but thought we were going to Nick and Nora's Infinite playlist (or whatever the name is). Ridiculous mistake that we didn't realize until the movie started. Good mistake though as the movie was funny.
All in all, another good day.

Tomorrow Mr. Wilson gets to town and things could get ugly. I'm looking forward to seeing this guy...it's been far too long.




Oh and the High Life I purchased this evening...I hope someone got a raise for coming up with the new look for their "Limited Edition Fall Series." Awesome.

Are you going to San Francisco?

Ladies and Gentlemen, the eagle has landed; my new roost is in San Francisco shackin' up with my lovely lady...Claire.








I've been here for a week now and have basically been a hermit. It's been nice catching up on sleep, loafing and being a lump--good stuff. Claire and I are currently waving the unemployment banner...so we have time to stare at things and walk around for hours at a time because we can't afford to do anything else. While I enjoy being a gentleman of liesure, daddy needs to start making some cheddah...this city is expensive.

It's been a while since I've lived in an urban center and it's definitely going to be an adjustment to the constant hustle and bustle again...but what I think is going to make life better is the proximity to non city-like things. Things like hiking, shredding (which I'm geeking out about right now), the ocean...NYC didn't really accommodate things like that and I don't count my dip in the Hudson "the ocean." ew.

Anywho, today we walked, we took an epic stroll to Golden Gate Park...San Francisco's Central Park...and had a lovely time. But before we left we fueled up on tacos and chips--cheap and delicicous...











The rest of the day was spent taking in this beautiful city and enjoying what sunshine there was.






Tomorrow we head to the Academy of Sciences. Learning is fun.
