My weekend

This weekend has been one of much excitement. 
I went to San Francisco on Friday. 
I am making it a point to live in this city.
I don't know when that will happen, but it simply must.
The city has the most character of any city I've been in yet.
I'm going to have to start making the big bucks to live there though.
I went down and saw my dear friend Evan Reese. Whom I had a wonderful time with.
We went to one of his classes where they were making bridges out of limited amounts of balsa wood. Then they saw how much weight the bridges could hold.
Evan's bridge held 125 lbs
everyone elses could hold like 30 lbs. 
needless to say I was very proud of Evan.
We went down to the ocean, it was beautiful. We walked around cliffs
and through a cave,
and down to the ocean.
I put my feet in the pacific ocean for the first time since April.
It was FREEZING!
We walked and talked a lot.
It was really great to catch up with Evan.
When you move to a new place and there is someone familiar there with you something happens.
I felt like we could really talk
and get to know eachother.
There weren't really any distractions.
I feel the same way about Joel Kendrick. 
If we hadn't both moved out here
I might have never
really gotten to know him. I'm so happy I have that chance now.
Anyways, Evan and I were at the beach most of the 
afternoon.
We drove around listening to Indian music
in the city admiring all of the colorful apartments 
that probably cost a fortune to live in.
We went and got some fruit 
and some afganistan food.
I didn't get to eat mine though. 
We drove back up to Redding. The drive back up was MUCH more enjoyable because of Evan's presence, and he showed me 
some amazing music. 
We listened to 
Son Lux
and Jeremy Enigk of Sunny Day Real Estate and The Fire Theft

It was good stuff
When we got back to Redding we went to the Bluff where 
there were friends playing music 
around a candle fire.
We went to Graham's dress up birthday party.
"Everyone looked interesting in their 'Smart Attire'." Benjamin Dobsin commented.
Which I'm not sure if that means,
"It's fun to see people looking their best."
or
"It's funny to see what people think looks good on them"
I'm not quite sure what to make of it,
But I think I looked cute. 
Although I don't remember one picture being taken of me that night.
Which is a shame.
I haven't been that dolled up in ages.
We retired to Jordan DiMarco's to watch The Goonies.
All in all it was a good weekend. a little tiring.
And I double booked myself this morning.
Kim's back and I KNOW she ate birthday cake while
she was out of town.
We are on a diet.
and if she cheats she owes me 20 bucks
So far she owes me 60
40 of which she has some how talked her way out of.
This could be how I make rent this month.
