TOO MUCH GOOD FOOD
I got so fat this weekend. There was jus so much good food tha tI ate. It is now time to get into a really good exercise program.
For lunch on Thursday we deperately searched for food in Palo Alto. We got lost but finally found a seafood place. It turned out that the palce wouldn't be open for another week. We then drove some more and found a place called the Cookbook Kitchen. I had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and red onions. This place was kind of like a breakfast-all-day type of deal. It was pretty good and we were all stuffed. The best thing was that it was all free for me.
Dinner that night was in Japantown in San Francisco. We had Korean Barbecue at Juban. The food is served raw at this place and then you cook it yourself on the grill that is built into the table. I had Bibimba to go with the different kinds of beef, shrimp, scallops, tripe, and intestine. We had Asahi super Dry to wash it down.
Breakfast on Friday morning was at the hotel. We jsut had the breakfast buffet that was offered there. I thought it was good, but the others didn't really like it. I had some french toast, a biscuit, sausages, fruit, juice, and coffee. I was pretty stuffed.
Lunch was at Fisherman's Wharf. We ate at one of the small restaurants in the area where there is a lot of seafood being cooked and sold on the street. I had the luch special at that restaurant. It was the Seafood Mixed Grill which consisted of Salmon, Halibut, and Shrimo, with sides of asparagus, carrots, and rice. I also ate some crab and Boston clam chowder.
For dinner we had something small becaue we were all still stuffed from all of the previous meals. We decided to jus eat ramen (noodles for those of you that don't know). I had miso ramen and some pickles and kimchi. I wanted to finish my bowl, but I couldn't eat after a certain point. I was worried that I couldn't drive home becaus eI was so stuffed.
After dinner we had a little dessrt. Actually the others did, but I just wanted a taste. We went to the crepe place across the way and the others ordered their stuff. Those crepes looked so good tha tI knew they were bad. I jsut trie d alittle bit of Emma's Nutella and Banana crepe. It was really good, too good. A little while later, she gave me the rest. I felt bad for eating it, but it was so good.
After all of that, I don't think I will be eating much for a while.

Crazy UC Berkeley Students
UC Berkeley people are some of the craziest I have ever known. While waiting for my friends to finish their tour, I hung out in Sproul Plaza looking for people that I knew.
- Hands
I came upon Grace and Dominiqe and spoke with them for a while. Our conversation got a little wierd when we started talking about our hands. We analyzed the creases and just the little markings on our hands. We then compared all of our hands and we tripped over it for a little while.
Feather
Something falling from the sky caught my eye. It was a falling feather. It fell for quite a while from such a high distance. Isaac Newton popped into my mind, but then I though about the wind resistanceas well. I was amazed at how it just twirled beautifully down to the ground. But when it landed, it landed in a crack and stayed upright. That's was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.
Blind Person
I saw a blind person strolling back and forth in front of me. She was pretty amazing. I watched her make her way up and down the stairs (with the aid of her cane) and in and out of the building. At time I thought she could see really well, but when I saw her going up and down the steps, I knew she really needed help with those becuase she was feeling her way up and down the whole time.
Gay Tour Guide
there was one tour guide that passed by who was totally gay. I jsut happened to overhear at the right (or wrong) time. He wa telling the group about the "cutest" tour he was ever in and how the tour guide did the cutest things. I'm not sure if he really was, but I wouldn't act the way he did if I wanted people to think I was straight.
Proving the Time
Whne people ask for the time, they just want to know it. You don't need to show them your watch. It's not like someone is going to tell you the wrong time on purpose, especially someone you don't know. Next time someone asks you for the time, just tell it to them. They'll trust you becuase you have no reason to lie. Don't wast precious seconds by showing off your watch to prove that it is in fact 11:47am.
More Free Access
I found another network atop the Sony Metreon. I tried logging on at UC Berkeley, but the only network I found was password protected. I think it belonged to the Daily Bruin newspaper. But I am happy to be able to acces the internet now. I cna catch up on blogging and my e-mail while overlooking beautiful San Francisco. Although it is a little bit cold out here, I am willing to suffer to be connected. Besides, it's not everyday that one can Blog from the top of the Sony Metreon

Keg Rolling on the Stanford Tour
yesterday we took a tour of the Stanford Univeristy campus. We couldn't really hear the tour guide so we weasled our way up front as much as we could. At the end of the tour we were looking at the upperclassmen houses. Most of them used to be frat houses but have since converted themselves into cultural or common interest houses. But there was one fraternity house left. They showed off but rolling an empty keg down the street. It rolled a really long time and it was very loud. That was great. Those guys really knew what they were doing.

From the Comfort of my Car
I'm jsut trying to kill time before I have to go pick up some people before heading out to San Francisco. I'm about 20 spaces away from the Library and am still able to access the wireless network. It is a great world when one can get on the internet from the comfort of their car. I guess I'm off to find some more wireless networks in SF.

First day of school
It is again time for me to go to school. I had last priority so I am trying to crash some courses so that I could have 12 units to keep my financial aid money. There are a couple things that I noticed today:
Only Guy
In my Math 327 class, I am the only guy. there were about 20 girls in the class and I am the only guy. I guess that's a good thing for me, but it's a little intimidating tha tI mgiht get singled out for being a guy. The reason that there are all girls in my class is that everyone is an Education major. There are mostly women in that major and I am one of the few men.
Skateboarder
After class I headed up the hill towards the UU so that I could access the internet from my computer. I saw Dave, the Bagel Guy (he also delivers at Holiday Inn), drive his truck by and there was a skateboarder holding on so that he could ride his skateboard uphill. I though skateboarding on campus was illegal!
Crashing Clases
I now understand the feeling of people who do not get classes they are trying to crash. Up until now, I have been able to crash classes that I wanted to take, but were already full. this time I only have 4 units that I really need to take. The other classes are ones that I selected to get my Financial Aid. I was already rejected once today. I hope that the same will no hold true for tomorrow.
3 new wireless networks
I found 3 new wireless networks at CalPoly. The first, I found when standing and talking to Joe K. We were outside the English building at school and I whipped out my iBook. I quickly noticed that I had full signat strength. I selected the network,"SS Airport", but I needed a password to get in. The next 2 networks were a little harder. I couldn't connect with them. I found Mustang Wireless at the business building and wasn't able to use that even though it is the default CalPoly network. It also may have been someone naming their airport the same as CalPoly's name.

Highway Blowjob
I was driving behind this truck around sundown. In the cab, I saw someone getting up and then moving back to the passenger side. Then I saw her go closer again and then go down into the driver's lap. She didn't come up for a while. I decided to pass teh car on the left. When we passed the truck, the driver was laughing and we could see the head bobbing up and down. Then he locked eye's with us and then laughed some more. I took off and got infront of him. I couldn't belive what I saw. There was still some daylight around so we were able to see it happen. But I never thought I would actually see someone getting a blowjob on the road.
