Good Busy

Late Happy 4th of July..man. Saturday, Had a rousing success of a BBQ at ...the park across the street from the Berkeley Rose Garden...started with a C and was just unecessarily long. LoL Slightly confusing and bumpy start, but then everyone arrived and it was just an immense amount of fun :)

Great food, brought by everyone. We did some hiking, which really thrilled Elisa, and even some climbing...LoL that was definitely one of the funnier points of the day, I was laughing my butt off while Tiff and Elisa were coming up. So then dinner at Gerry's Grill, wasn't bad, we ordered some pretty good stuff, the grilled squid I could have done without, but watching Jeffery trying to eat the "head" was pretty funny. Ahhh and then surprising Tiffany with the cake. AWESOME. And she actually seemed genuinely surprised :) Very exciting :)

Then Tuesday I went to the A's game, where they won, yay!...but still it's baseball and wasn't all too interesting, but the fireworks at the end were really good :) And I got a malted ice cream :)

Wed, actual fourth of July, to satisfy Elisa's desire for a fireworks show and because Elisa plans super awesome random days :D and because fireworks are pretty cool [well the cube ones anyways] we went to San Francisco, to see them go off. Had dinner at North Beach Pizza out on Pier 39, really good pizza, pasta, eh. Then we walked down past Fisherman's Wharf to Ghiridelli Square and sat on one of the few remaining pieces of grass, still good seats :) Phillip joined us afterwards and since he hadn't eaten, we went to go find him something to eat, sadly, he had chosen the restaurant with the DECEIVINGLY short line, only about 12 people in front of us and it took over 45 minutes, it was just absurdly long and slow. *grr* Still got back in time for the fireworks and even had time to learn a new drinking game. That can still be played without alcohol :) Leaving that area was just madness though, a whole lot of cars just basically stopped everywhich way. Finally got out, dropped Phillip off at his place and then got back home at 1am or so...

Thursday, went to Six Flags..uhm discovery ....something? Marine World Africa USA. Whoo! ROTFL. :) With my mom and sister, went on a few rides, saw a few shows, had to wait in an absurdly long line because of absurdly slow attendees again. But other than that, a really good day. It was sunny, and like high 80's low 90's but a wind was passing through, so it wasn't unbearable. :)

Today, deal with everything in real life, i.e. making appointments to talk to biology advisors, fill out health form stuff to let the school know I'm not a leper...still have to get more shots probably...ah but overall very relaxing day at home WHOOT!
