Why is it when I try to sleep in on the weekends, I fail miserably? Always the case every single time. Oh, well.
So, unlike last weekend with the craziness adventure of wandering the bay area like true nomads, I kind of stayed within the area due to my lack of funds. Yesterday I woke my buttocks up early and headed on down to Golden Gate Park to meet up with my friend, Woody. He was a volunteer at the Breath for Life race, which I intended to participate in, but forgot. We ended up walking to the D. Young Museum (where I just went for the first time last weekend) and up to this infamous tower I've heard so much about. All I can say is, "I should have brought my camera." I literally gasped as I stepped off the elevator to see such a beautiful view of the sunset/richmond district and the Pacific Ocean. It was like a (semi) 360 degree view of the city, and I was in awe. Woody had been there so many times that he sort of rushed me, but realized...I WAS AWE STRUCK. damn, beautiful and definitely worth going back to, which I intend on doing next weekend because of a cool event going on there. Maori tattooists will be there doing actually tattoos on people who've registered to get them done. I was almost tempted to sign up, but I don't know what kind of design I would want. There's also going to be a cool exhibit of a bunch of things from New Zealand, so I definitely want to go. It'll be a fun event.
Anyways, after that we headed on over to the Academy of Science. Being a free member is cool coz I get to go in whenever I want! We sat at the aquarium spots for a bit, and wandered around up the living roof, which was alright. It was definitely NOT as breath taking (view wise) as D. Young, but it was dope to see how all that plant life is thriving like crazy! I also got to see those vent things kinda adjusting itself. haha After the lovely museum madness, we headed over to the inner sunset where I purchased new shoes (again), but they are super cute! No Lie. They are super expensive (also, not a lie) so I will have to utilize them to the max. I did have a weird incident with the worker in there, but i'll let it slide.
Did some work, spent some time reading old stuff i use to write, and then talked to my sister for awhile. it was pretty chill.
And that leads us to today....
Once again, up freaking early, but in an angry state of mind. Not entirely sure, but I felt mad from the dream I woke up from. Don't you hate it when that happens? ANYWAYS!
1. I was bored out of my mind. I never really go on Facebook that much and do stuff on there, unless it's for flair or status updates. Especially with work and not so much of a fan of it, I hardly use it, but because of my early rising...eh, I browsed around.
upon my browsing, I stumbled upon an application called "My House." It's build your own house, and it sounded interesting since I've been contemplating on this whole buying a house thing. So, I add the application only to find that I get 1,000 credits to buy my first house. What are my choices? A beat up shack, a tent and a trailer. I was thinking, "wtf? that's it?!" coz there were other options, but I couldn't "buy" them. I was kinda annoyed, so I decided of the three, I thought the tent fit my personality more. Plus I can just pack my tent and move to another place, right? hahahah
So, I buy the tent. It's cute, and then there's an option to buy decorations and such. I notice the only things I could really buy are tumbleweed, dead grass, dead weed, a broken grill and the signs for the presidential elections. I was like, "dood. are you serious?" At this point, I only had 500 credits left (my tent was 500), and so I bought...dead grass. LOL i'm totally making it now!
sooooo, there's this other option where you get to "battle" how cool your house is to others. I decided, "why not?" and of course, I was competing against the beat up shack. I was like, "dood. i'm so gonna win, my tent rocks." So I click the button to see that the freakin' shack won! LOL so i did a re-match. denied! I was so over it, that I turned it off, but laughing in the process because I am so entertained by my tent and dead grass.
2. Anyhoo, I decided to ask Bunks to go eat lunch and we did...at Ocean Taqueria. I don't know how this happened, but I accidentally ate a piece of foil. I'm even amazed as to how that happened, or how I allowed that happen? I dunno. All i know was I was super excited to eat the chicken burrito. I was chewing, and then swallowed the bolus (hahaha nerd) and realized something was stuck in my throat. The smoothness and after taste was metallic like. It started to scratch my throat a little bit that I told Bunks, "I think I swallowed a piece of foil." and he looked at me kinda like, "wtf?" and "only you." I drank some soda, and it moved on down the digestive track of happiness. But I was in awe. Go figure. Only me, right?
The rest of the day was kinda chill. Went to J-town with Sensei and black bear, and then went to fort Funston for the first time. It's actually got a pretty cool view of the city, and there's a walk way to the beach. I had no idea it was like a little dog park! Well, anyways, I saw some sea jellies hanging out on the sand and took a picture of them. cuteness. We went back to Starbucks, and did some work. Ate at red robin, and then here i am writing this blog. well, i've been home for over an hour, but i had to take care of some stuffs, which i'm still not done with either.
So, that's my weekend. Next weekend should be fun since my friend from SoCal will be here =)
