"The Twilight Zone"
I'm in this mellow stage right now... where everything seems to want to go wrong..
i picked up elaine yesterday to hang out! we planned on going rock climbing, maybe a movie, then dinner and clubbing at the rouge. we started with lunch at hotaru in san mateo and we took a wrong turn, but eventually got there. (suck counter = 1) we needed to sign up for the club's guestlist but my house wont' have internet until the 19th so we needed to go to verde for boba and to use the internet. i didnt' know that villa was the last street before central and we ended up on central where the next three or four blocks were no u-turn... (2) but in that short trip susan went back upstairs to work to sign us up for the guest list so we blew off boba for planet granite. (+1 so suck factor = 1) the process was a little strenuous... sue would call for much needed info for the guestlist and the 101 s exit is being revamped so the detour was confusing. we ended up taking another wrong turn (2) there i took the belay test and failed miserably. (suck factor to 3) and the guy there was a little too "friendly" (4) which made the experience a little weird for me. i decided i didnt feel like climbing anymore and i didnt' want to make susan be our belay work horse (she can work for us later, hehehe) so elaine and i took off. we ended up at the same exact boba place we passed up earlier. boba and thick coconut toast were on an afternoon special (heck yeah, +1 so suck factor is now 3) we also got on the internet and changed our status from guestlist to member, just to get in free before 11pm. this is so college, but elaine and i napped before dinner at spice islands. great food by the way. at the club we got great parking for half the price, $5. (suck factor is +1 so it's now 2) we walk up to the club and find out our membership didn't show up b/c we had signed up for the guestlist first (3) the girl looks at us with fake innocence and elaine asks to see a mgr who looks to be our age, dorky as he is. he too refuses to acknowledge that we are members and this stupid computer glitch costs us money. ug. i now HATE beyond entertainment. HATE. unfortunately, i felt like i was a let down to my friends b/c i had gone out dancing the night before and i was shot. my knees ached. i was so tired my head kept falling on elaine's shoulder and the sleep was the kind where you blackout and then come to and remember where you are.
on a last note, we had rick and ann's for breakfast at berkeley. everyone has to try this place. just to give you and idea, people are willing to wait 75 minutes to eat here. :)

I just saw the premier of the surreal life with marcus schenkenburg (sp), peter brady, da brat, mini me, a gogo, the winner of top model, and Chynna (Doll) the wrestler. (flashback: verne drunk and stroking adrienne's nipple as she lays naked with sushi on her body, skinny dipping, chyna arguing over mini me's room, verne mooing and naked on his scooter, da brat doesn't want to be there.)
