My day in camera-phone pictures

Banana Slugs on the Island

It's that time of year again.

Fleet Week

So last weekend was Fleet Week. I'm not really into airshows and planes and shit, and I saw it all last year, but I have to say that watching the Blue Angels fly over us from the roof of the cellhouse was pretty thrilling. Must be my adrenaline-junkie side kicking in again. I got some pretty cool pictures. The grey skies were apparently detrimental to their flying, but I think they add a nice surreal aspect to the pictures.










I took some video too which I'll probably upload soon.

Boats in the water for fleet week

Logan and I are the best kiosk staff ever

Night tour.

Work today

Has been awesome and ridiculous and great. There have been hot, fun
tourists. I just spent an hour and a half watching a presentation by
Ranger Al (the best ranger!) about famous inmates. I'm off in 3 hours
and that's been my day basically. How do I get paid to do this? Ha.

"Liver" killed it this weekend!

So Valerie came up on Friday night and we went out with Joe and got drunk as balls. You can see pics of our adventure here. Then we got in a drunken fight at 5 am and I ended up walking home from Joe's and leaving her there. Cause we are cool like that and it's how we roll.

The next morning I woke up and made her meet us downtown and she, Chris, and I all went out to the rock so I could show them Alcatraz and they could check out hot tourists like I do all week. Here are the pics. It was surprisingly fun even though I was basically going to work on my day off. They were doing some weird Civil War re-enactment shit that day, as well as it was the first day that they opened up the Agave Trail, which is fucking awesome. Good times were had.

Sunday we woke up, I drank some Jack and Coke and ate a few shrooms for breakfast and then we went to Hardly Strictly! We saw Bonnie Prince Billy, Iron & Wine, and Gogol Bordello. It was super fucking fun. I love that I live in a city where I can walk 10 minutes down the road and watch a huge amazing show for free in the middle of a gorgeous wild park. Look at pictures!

For the finale Valerie, Joe, and I went out and drank last night, a few pics of us looking ridiculously fucked up are here. We all came back to my place and played Wii afterward. Valerie made Joe sleep on the tiny couch after offering him the big, comfy couch, cause she's mean when she's drunk...ha. Then today she and I hung out, and around 3 this afternoon I took her downtown, we went shopping for books, and then I left her at BART so she could go catch her flight at 6.

All-in-all the weekend fucking owned.

Let it ride, Let it roll, Let it go

*Winery pictures are here! It was super. I am tired.

*Alex and Veronica came to Alcatraz a while ago and I got them a private tour. Alex posted about it, with pictures, on his blog.

*Lost Boys II is so awesome. I wish it had Keifer though. But seriously, such trashy goodness.

*When we went out to breakfast today I saw a girl wearing a super cute utility belt. It became my mission today to find one. I ended up ordering this one in black. My only complaint is I wish it was leather, but the awesome leather ones I found were like $150 or only sold in Australia. It's a lot harder to find fashion-y, cute, non-fannypack utility belts on the internet than one would think.

Lose the feelings that are weighing me down...

The tall ships sailed into the bay last week for the Festival of Sail. I was working on Alcatraz at the time so I had some nice views of it. Too bad my pictures came out kinda assy cause of the haze. Still...

There are more pics in the set over on that thar flickr thing. Which I just got a Pro account on, so I suppose I'll be moving most of my pics over to, because at least they won't delete my pics and threaten to shutdown my account because someone reported my pictures as having nudity in them, even though they didn't. And then give me no way to contest this....I'm looking at you Picasa/Google.

• The Ryan Adams show at the Fillmore is sold out. I cry myself to sleep every night because of this. My only hope is that Joe can get me tickets since he works there. *crosses fingers* DON'T FAIL ME NOW!
  
• Winery is this weekend! I need it bad. I just need to get away, get wasted, and just let it all go. I'm going through some weird hermit, anti-social bullshit right now. It's really ruining my good times. Ha.
• There's been some weird coincidences these past few weeks. Synchronicity just might be in effect again. I'll investigate further and report back my findings.

• I have two tallboys of PBR for my day off that need drinking. And away I go.
