Row, Row, Row your boat...

Last weekend was sooooo much fun...on Friday...Tony and I were suppose to drive to Big Sur...unfortunately all that Turkey made me too sleepy...and i didn't get up early enough to go...basically ... its a long drive...so we were going to go to Berkeley... then decided to drive to Monterey instead... it was about a 2 hour drive... with Starbucks in between... I recommend getting a Grande... even if you NEVER do... anyway after that...we bought our lunch in Safeway (Monterey is WAY too expensive) ... we headed to the boardwalk first...was cool there was a really cool candy store...and they were making Salt Water Taffy and wrapping it in this CRAZY little machine...i never took a video...wish i did but it was really fast...it was like something from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory good times... we walked to the end...of the board walk where we could see out into the sea. There were sea-lions and sea otters...AWESOME...how much fun it would be to be a Sea-lion...just layin' on a big ole rock all day...until its time to eat of course... but yeah...we headed to Cannery Row...with our sandwiches to watch the Christmas Tree Lights to get switched on...totally Cliche American of course...carol singing...reindeer's... as cheesy and corny as it was....its Christmas... and it was pretty cool...I wanted something for desert... but we waited til we got home... I had a brainwave.. PIZOOKIE!!!!!!! hahahaha Yummmmmmy ... so we got back to San Francisco and we made pizookie... IT WAS AMAZING... for those of you who do not know what a pizookie is... its a Big cookie...but its not cooked the whole way through...so its not quite done...and goo-ee and soft and so damn good! so you fire some ice cream on top... Delish! :) ... Long day it was very tiring...alot of driving...so i slept goooooooood :)

The next day... i was going to blog about Monterey...but then i figured meh...i wanna do something awesome... so i was going to Golden Gate Park... and Tony mentioned pedalo's and row boats somewhere there... so we went! we got a row boat...with the sneak of some beer on there too :D woohoo...tony read his comics...GEEK and i row'd row'd my boat around the little stream :) it was fun...that night we went and had cocktails in a place called Olive...its in the Tenderloin...I mean RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE...wow is it hidden...its so nice inside like a totally different world. Anyway fun times to be had...Dave came too which was coolio :D anyways...my dinner's just arrived at my table here so...I'm gonna go eat... if anything exciting happens ... you're the first to know...(probably)

Peace

   

   

   

   

Follow the yellow piss stained brick road...

Hmm so settling rightly in work...still taking everything in ... with difficulty i guess but i've jus been working on one of Rodrigo's tour websites for him...nothin too insane YET... but yeh tomorrow...TFI Friday...off saturday and sunday...gonna go see the sights myself i think go for a walk and see things myself...best way to experience it...like today...when we were walking home from work...it was myself, Dave, Adam...the intern from last year,(whos leaving in a few weeks to go back to UUJ for final year), and another dude from Turkey called Ali...(hope thats spelt right)took a detour home from work and decided to go to Tenderloin...so we'd been warned of it and what the neighbourhood was about...crack on streets etc...meh...yeh they do...its crazy...and theres alot of homeless people which is sad then we came to the bottom of Jones, which is the street that we live on tho we dont live down here...(Thank God) and starting headin up(we're still in Tenderloin at this point)it was right outside this park...and theres cars parked in the street...and dogs pee against car tires everywhere right?...well in the Tenderloin...people do...NICE...this dudes just pissing against a car...SICK...i was like w.t.f. MATE...and jus when i thought i'd seen it all? we pass this street where there are MASSES of crack dealers on the street...nuts...jus openingly selling...but thats not it...HA this next bits hilarious! We pass this dude...he seemed to maybe be no younger than 35 but no older than 45...and he looked like a homeless person but the 'lady' he was chatting o seemed dressed too fancy to be homeless...so we continued walking up to pass them and she turns and she says to us 'Ummm where you boys been all my life?' as we pass...she feels daves ass...well when i say feel...we think she was probably tryin to pick pocket him...but still...dave felt ever so violated. rather him than me...but yeh the past few days have been rough...I mean some places we've been for food have been gross...lunch today was probably the worst...it was funny it was cliche american diner ... the old dude with the paper...the 2 mexicans one with hood up...then some big trucker lady, with pig tails, dungerese, tattoos, and some sort of moustache strolls in and pounces on the stool...she like stepped right over it was funny. So thats so far...i'll keep you posted as to how i get on this weekend :D
