01/19/08 - if you are going, to san francisco

yes! woke up "late" at 10:00. boy am i ever proud of myself, gee whiz. well gosh, when did i start speaking fifties lingo? that's just swell!

i'm supposed to chill with iris today but she hasn't called me yet so i figured i would get in some early morning film viewing. she calls at about 12 to say she's not home till about 2 and we head out at about 4. originally, we were going to go see devandra banhart, then check out his art exhibit at this museum but alas iris is informed that the in-store time has changed and we catch the bus to berkeley bart at about 4ish. a little later than planned but at this point we're making plans to break plans. we get on bart and start to find a seat. i scooch in to the window seat, trip, and single handedly fall chest first into the man who was supposed to be sitting opposite me. actually i fall twice. it hurts me to think about it. after that embarrassing event we decide to get off at montgomery for whatever reason and head to a starbucks. on the way, we look down the long street and see the wharf at the end. yep. that's where we're going after we get some money and vanilla lattes.

we walk the billion blocks to fisherman's wharf, me taking pictures along the way and both of us mocking the hell out of all the unsuspecting tourists. we shmooz through the gimmicky stores and buy a bag of candy. i've decided chocolate covered gummy bears are not the way to go. iris wants dinner and i want to mooch off iris' dinner so we go down to get some clam chowder, get verbally harrassed by a card trick guy who threatens to slap my ass and we buy a bowl....of soup.

we decided to head back and take the train to embarcadero bart. we make the decision to get off at berkeley and to walk home from there (again! look at me go!)

we catch the movie the savages (very depressing) at the landmark theatre down the block from our house at 9:45, then i get home and realize my feet are busted. about this time i get a phone call, and talk till about 12.
passed out.
