weekend

this past weekend we were actually supposed to go to LA, but we postponed our trip to july. instead, a couple of julian's friends came to visit from LA so we spent the weekend at a friend's place in SF.

fri:
after work drove up to SF. two of julian's friends that live in SF (they room together) are moving out of their apt cause one of them is going to business school in chicago, so it was their "good-bye party". it was sort of sad though, not many people showed up..it was kinda chill. i drank about a can of beer, my tolerance is just not so good anymore. and of course my face turns bright red at the sign of ANY alcohol, so everyone thinks i'm buzzed or drunk, but i'm not =P but my face was sooo hot and my heart was beating very fast. i dunno, alcohol just doesn't make me feel comfortable i guess, especially if all we're doing is sitting and talking. and i started getting a headache at the end of the night...not a good sign for miami, ugh. although beer is starting to taste ok to me now, not as much cringing, still need to work on that for wine!

sat:
drove to sausalito and had a burger at a place that always has a long line out the door. we waited sooo long, it took forever. it was good, but not excellent. then we went to stinson beach to hang out. it's a pretty nice beach, even though it was very very cloudy, it wasn't that cold because there was no wind! it was kinda weird, cause most beaches i go to are very very windy, but this one wasn't. there were a lot of people out on the beach, it was kinda surprising. and there were girls wearing bikinis swimming in the ocean!! i wonder if they were cold??? for dinner we met up with some other people at this french bistro called bistro annex. it sucked. and was $35/person!! good thing julian and i shared an entree... afterwards we went to this bar, everyone else said it was lesbian central ( but i didn't really notice..?? they said there were so many girls making out, but i somehow missed all that??) anyways, we danced a little. i had about half a pink martini, and it was ok. and got red of course, but no headache this time.

sun:
today was the gay parade and they closed off sooo many streets. we were going to go to chinatown for dimsum, but there was just way too much traffic so we just went to yank sing which is close to their apt. we had 8 people and our bill came out to $190 (without tip)!!!! that is the most expensive dim sum i've ever had....ever!! we didn't order anything special and we didn't order THAT much food, it's just an expensive place i guess! i mean, it was better than the cheaper places but not THAT much better!

within julian's circle of friends, one of them is going to business school in chicago, another is going to law school in atlanta, and one is working on assignment in switzerland. so next year i have sooo many places to visit! julian wants to go to switzerland, and it'll be very nice if i could do a BIG east coast trip next year or something. visit cornell, philadelphia, chicago (i think chicago would be a loooot of fun), boston, ny, new haven. that seems like a loot...oy! atlanta might be sorta out of the way, but it's not a place i really want to visit.

this week and next week is a 4 day week for me!! yippee!!
