thursday night 01.29.03

a few of us (greg, me, pat and gretchen and sarah) headed over to studioZ to see captured by robots perform his ten commandments show.  ohmygod, what an awesome night!

the evening in pics:

these first pics are of the phantom limbs.  a totally insane band!

they were entertaining!  the lead singer was all over the place, jumping into the crowd, moshing, falling over.  lol! as i said, very entertaining!

and here's captured by robots.  i love the idea behind the band.  one guy backed up by robots! 

the man unmasked!

and here's some silly pics of girls!

new look

okay, all done bleaching and piercing! 

i went to body manipulations for the labret piercing on a recommendation from a customer at work.  she said it's the best place in SF for piercings.  the place was clean and the staff were very professional.  i will definitely go back there for any other piercings i may get in the future.  in about two months i will be switching out the barbell with a hoop but barbells heal better so for now i'm stuck (hahah!) with the barbell.  i think it looks good if i say so myself.  and i love my shiny new blonde hair!  greg hasn't seen any of this yet.  i hope he likes it!

a hit

the Unconditional Loathing show in oakland was a hit!  the guys were great, the crowd loved them!  there were quite a bit of laughs and UL made $7 panhandling the crowd! HAHAHA! it's one thing when i hear their idea for a show and find it hilarious but it's a whole 'nother even more gratifying thing when they actually perform and the crowd thinks it's pretty damn funny as well.  now they just have to get a third show in oakland to round out their Trilogy.  great job guys!

at about 12.05am jan 1 2004, the people throwing the party burned a christmas tree in the middle of the street.  pretty cool.  we took off shortly after the tree burning and headed back to SF.  more people to see!

as we were walking to BART in oakland, it started to rain.  nothing big, just a little sprinkle.  by the time we got off the BART on 16th and mission, it was raining harder.  we found the bar our friends were at and made it in time for last call.  then we all walked to Pat and Gretchen's.  by now it was pouring.  needless to say, we all got soaked.  greg and i dried off a bit at P & G's and finally around 4.30am headed home.  walking, of course.   we got soaked again.  but i couldn't help but laugh.  damn, what a good night :)

beach goodness

yes the water is cold!  no, i didn't get very far into the water but greg, paul and nicole did!  but the sun was warm, the breeze cool and the beach crowded.  i was being a dork with the camera, taking a lot of pics of myself (yes, yes, i am an attention whore and a dork among other things.)

a day at the beach

yesterday we headed to ocean beach.  we walked through golden gate park and so i just had to see the bison paddock.  the buffalo didn't look too happy and i felt bad for the poor guys :(

after visiting with the buffalo, we headed west to the ocean.  i've always loved water and it's just so fucking cool to live so near this massive body of water.   i just sat in the sand, sipping a beer, absorbing it all; the sound of the surf pounding the beach, the seagulls flying overhead, dogs playing in the water and best of all, surfer boys! yay for the ocean!

so the plan is (after we get working, of course) to outfit ourselves with bodyboards, wetsuits and fins so we too can play in the water!  i can't wait!  of course, i'd love to learn how to surf but well, i don't wanna die immediately (haha), so i think bodyboarding is the way to start.

past weekend

there was an airshow here over the weekend.  friday afternoon, paul, greg and i bussed down to the wharf and watched the blue angels.  god, i love the intense sound those jets make!  we headed back to the wharf saturday afternoon with nicole joining us to get our fill of loud jets and cool stunts.  the weather has just been gorgeous and it was great to sit by the water's edge.  the sound of the water lapping at the shore and all the boats crowding the water reminds me of home.

and i'm back!

woo! got internet 10 days sooner than expected!

we got here with no problems.  the moving truck worked perfectly for us, the cats didn't freak out by being in a truck for three days and greg and i didn't get into a fight!

we LOVE our new home. 

here's a few pics from our trip out. 

the kitties chillin' in the truck.  they did amazingly well!  we were shocked at how well they handled the whole move.
