so close!

my computer was FINALLY shipped on friday! however, i was reading my new yorker on the eliptical trainer at the gym when they tried to deliver this morning...so sadness. no computer yet!

FAFSA=Happiness (at least until i have to pay it back)

so i just had my meeting with my financial aid "advisor" because i was a little confused about what i was "awarded." turns out for the program i am in, USF starts the school year in the summer so not only was i qualified to receive funds for the summer, but the school (who was my employer until may) gave me tuition remission for the whole summer (two classes) and not just one like i thought. AND i got financial aid! what does that mean? that means that i got 3k extra which will just keep rolling over into my account each semester and i will not have to PAY ANYTHING up front. and when i finish my program next summer, i will get REFUNDED money. I-AM-SO-ALL-OVER-THAT.


Movies

i want to see movies. who wants to go see movies with me? i'll see anything. well, accept for madagascar. i don't do animated flicks unless its cowboy beebop and aeon flux.

My New Motto

the first year here sucked ass.
the second year was recovery.
my third year is where i begin my life. yay!

DAD
my rockstar dad was in town last weekend. here's what we did:
i picked him up in oakland on saturday morning and we dropped off his stuff and then went to twin peaks for the view. then drove to fort funston and watched the hang gliders jump off the cliff and walked to that giant drain pipe thing...can anyone tell me what that is?
i wanted to take my dad to my all time favorite restaurant, RNM (haight and steiner) and turns out they are closed sunday and monday but robert, the awesome maitre'd, got us in at 7pm on saturday night and we rocked the house! their food is so good!
then we came home and watched the doc's that i have tivo'd on The Secret Rulers of the World
Jon Ronson rocks! (and if i marry him i can be hez aronson-ronson. hahahaha! it would be like i have a stutter.) p.s. he has a BLOG!

sunday we were getting ready to go meet misty, ted and jojo in the castro for some brekkie but holy crap! my dad threw his back out getting out of my retarded shower! so we took sunday easy and i grilled up some pork chops and made a caprese for dinner. we got sucked into a marathon of The Deadliest Catch on the discovery channel. Its a doc-like series about opelia crab (which is alaskan king crab to laymen). apparently the king crab season is 5-7 days long and these fisherman go out for like 72 hours straight and just fishfishfish and then go back to port, dump 'em off and then go get more. its a race against the clock before the wildlife, fish and game peeps shut the season down. anyways, about 3 episodes in my dad turns to me and says, crap! i cant' believe we just watched, like, THREE HOURS of this. i said, "welcome to my life." and then we opened another beer! (btw, i HATE crab. they are like giant sea insects and it just grosses me out, however, i felt sorry for how they get treated on the boats. poor opelias.)

monday my dad realized that he was better off walking around so he wouldn't get so stiff, so we walked to boogaloos and had breakfast and then zipped him over to a chiropractic appointment. turns out it was just a muscle pull and not a horrible disk thing. then we went to MOMA hoping to catch the robert bechtle exhibit, we had both read so much about it, but it ended june 5th. so we just walked around the galleries and laughed at the artists who paint a giant blue rectangle or who just put white paint on canvas..i mean, really. jerks. i DID see a pollack which changed my view of him a bit. usually i'm like, dude ANYONE can throw paint at a canvas. but this painting was actually a PAINTING. i admit it. i dug it.

then we walked over to hog island and got us some oysters. fyi, hog island has happy hour on monday's which means, $1 oytsters. when are we going?

afterwards we drove over the golden gate which was just SHROUDED in fog, i showed him my new beach, rodeo beach, then we came home and ate sausages. yay!

i might add, my dad is a healthy drinker. i spet most of my weekend buzzed.


ok bye.
