Oh my goodness. I had so much fun today that it made up for my week of anti-social reclusive behavior. So I woke up in the morning and picked up my home girl and went to Berkeley to visit Hansol. Surprisingly enough, we didn't get lost on the way there. I always pass Berkeley but I've never actually taken the time to stop and take a closer look. Anyway the drive there wasn't too painful we ended up singing and dancing in the car. As usual there were people staring at us but whatever, what else is new?

The whole purpose of the trip was to watch Toy Story 3 but before we did that we went to eat pizza at this place called the Cheeseboard (heh heh) and we went to the Marina (no, not the Chinese supermarket, although it does have fish...). They served pizza with eggplant and romanito tomatoes. I didn't eat any but I was drooling like crazy in my mind. Jillian has me whipped, so I was eating a dry sandwich in a pizza parlor. Sigh. Today is diet day 11. 19 more days to go! Oh, and the marina was full of these beastly little critters that looked like squirrels minus the bushy tail. They were kind of interesting but I thought they were going to attack me.

Before the movie we had a bit of time to spare and as we were walking we saw this hurricane machine. It's like a plastic little contained room that blows wind up to 75mph which is the speed of a hurricane. Being the strange people we are, we paid 2 dollars (but we went in twice, so 4 dollars) to stand in a hurricane. I wonder what survivors in New Orleans have to say about that... That wind kind of hurt though. It made your hair whirl around so fast that it hurt when it hit the sides of your neck. After we were done being idiots we went to see the movie (in IMAX 3D, it was super clear HD status). Toy Story 3 was amazing. If you haven't seen Toy story 3 get thyself to the theater. No joke. I laughed so hard during most of the scenes in the movie that I cried and the ending was so touching that I almost cried. I was tearing up, not going to lie. This was probably the best Pixar movie ever made, and this is probably why my day is so complete right now (oh and also because in Toy Story 3, Bonnie had a Totoro doll that looked exactly like mine hehe)

We went to Rasputin's and played pinball. I know, random but that's how we roll. Stupid Hansol didn't put enough money into the parking meter and I had two minutes left to get to my car. "Why don't you run, it's your car" thanks guys, thanks. Such good friends I have. That pretty much ended the day because I wanted to beat the traffic back to San Jose.

Well it turned out that beating traffic is not likely between 4pm and 6pm. Never drive to San Jose from Berkeley during those hours. There was traffic along the whole way back and I got lost three times. Well I guess I didn't get lost the first time, it was just the fact that I had to merge into another lane but I couldn't because it was illegal and a policeman was there so I didn't want to risk it. Anyways we got back to San Jose in around an hour and a half, which is not too bad considering the fact that we were all moving as fast as Manuel Uribe running on a track (which is impossible because I highly doubt he can even stand).

Nevertheless. Today was a good day.

play ping pong & shave legs <3
