I give a whole new level to procrastination

I have a page and a half done of my essay!!! But here's the thing... It needs to be ten pages, I still have research to do, and most unfortunately... it's due tomorrow. Here's the real kicker... I am writing a blog about it right now instead of working on it. I'll let you all know how it goes.

PS I got an A- my psyc midterm and i feel FABULOUS!

Stinson Beach!

Jimmy's fabulous mom rented us a beach house at Stinson Beach for Memorial Day weekend. It was AMAZING! The house was right on the lagoon and right accross the street from the beach. Here are some pics:
Me on our dock, loving life. Thats my happy dance.
Comforting Jimmy after an attack on the beach.

Thank you Paula Bennet for this INCREDIBLE place!
The gang... being awesome.
Katie being my kayak slave.
This was my tree. I probably spent the majority of the trip in it. I'm taking this picture (the sneaker is mine) looking down on everyone on lower branches.

the trip was needed. Now back to the real world........

Nietzche

Just in case you didn't know. Nietzche thinks that philosophy is bad and that art is the only way we can really be happy and shelter ourselves from the horrible truth of life. So don't read him. He wouldn't want you to waste your time reading his philosophy books. Go listen to music. Lets do Nietzche a favor, give him what he wants, and burn all of his books. As long as we are dancing around the fire he'd be happy.

Bay to Breakers

Every year in San Francisco there is a huge race from the Bay to the Breakers. The event is pronounced Beta Breakers and it is populated by serious runners, semi serious joggers, walkers, nudists, drunk college students, high old people, and pretty much anyone in the bay area who owns a ridiculous outfit (or can put one together). We decided to attend the event to really soak in the culture.... now we are drench with culture.... among other things.

Our morning started at 1:00 am when we went to sleep. well i guess that's when our night ended.
Our morning really began three hours later when we woke up... AT 4:00!!!
Next we walked to the Cal Train station, so that we, like every other student at Santa Clara could ride to San Fran.

So the train was quite full.
And we rode in the bathroom. literally. stood in the bathroom. for the hour and half trip. and yes... people still used the bath room... the one we were in. (I have pictures of that but I might get sued)
We were all looking our best. Trying to fit in. We though we went all out. We were wrong.
You can't tell very well in this pic. But the multi colored blur all the way back between the trees... yeah thats hundreds.. thousands more people.
everyone had RIDICULOUS costumes on. Here we are with Tetris. Most pictures we took with the other walkers are too inappropriate, and I hear my grandma reads this every now and then. Lets just say there was a lot of drinking, drug use, and nudity. Complete, full, old people, nudity.

It was probably the most fun I've ever had in San Fran. And next year... we'll be prepared.
