we got a huge new clock...


and salvation army finally came and picked up all the crap we wanted to donate...it was sitting in our dining room area for the longest time. thank goodness no one came over and saw it hehe actually they wouldn't take the office desk because it was too big, so we're going to try to sell it on craigslist again. we had to clear out some of the rooms so that simon could move in. hopefully once the dining room area is all cleared up we can get a new dining set

what we've been playing the last few nights....it's so fun! it's like DDR, karoake revolution etc

we're taking the plunge from comcast cable to directv! we'll have hbo again woohoo! and it's just in time for entourage. the guy is doing the installation right now, but it's taking F-O-R-E-V-E-R. it's been 2.5 hours and it's not done yet. ugh!!

hiking at arastadero with tofu, she got two ticks though, so i don't think we'll be going back. she had fun though =P

last wednesday we got the afternoon off because our dept took us on an outing- we had lunch at mccormick schmick's and then went to the tech museum. it wasn't that exciting but it was nice to get a free lunch and not have to work!

over the weekend we went down to LA, we didn't really do much. i finally got to try pinkberry, my first bite i thought it was pretty gross. the yogurt was very sour but after a few bites and when you eat it with the toppings, it starts to taste better. it's pretty expensive, i got the medium size with strawberries, pineapples, and rice cakes for $5. i found a very interesting article about the phenomenon of pinkberry, it's a pretty interesting read. i can't believe it started turning a profit after one month, and they're expanding so quickly!! i need to come up with an idea like that... i also reconfirmed that sprinkles isn't all that and is definitely not worth the wait. we watched little miss sunshine again, hehe, still as funny as ever. other than that, LA is still the same. traffic on 405 all the time, takes at least half an hour to get anywhere, and i'm always amazed at how many hispanics there are. julian's mom complains about them taking over CA a lot, but i don't really see that at all up north, but when you go down south, you can definitely see their presence, especially when a lot of signs are translated into spanish.
