the apology

im sorry im sorry im sorry i've been putting off my stories from friday.

Alright so I woke up as planned, on time, and went to my brother and sister's swimming lessons. Then we got delicious vegetarian (I think i'm converting my mom) burritos at Tres Amigos in Half Moon Bay. Then i grabbed a grip of energy boosting snacks, because I knew I was going to crash. After the Red Bull i was pumped to go to my old park and take pictures of my metal fire truck. When we got there, it was gone. Not just the fire truck, but everything. The entire park had been ripped out. I started to cry, it was yet another reminder that I am no longer a child and i will never go back to my childhood.

That quote gets me through some days.

I went to my mom's spa and got to see where she works now, the place is amazing. Then I went to Daly City BART to meet Ian, and we went to the Musee Mechanique at pier 45. We got off at Embarcadero, me being the idiot not realizing how far the walk would be, decided not to take Muni. It was sunny and the walk was nice, and we reached our destination, so it all worked out in the end.
The Musee was unbelievable. I forgot to mention the motivation for wanting to go to this. Both Ian and I just read the 33 1/3 book for In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, and Jeff Mangum was inspired by the Musee Mechanique. When you look around, you can definately see the influence. How ever incredibly racist and creepy some of the exhibits might've been, it was amazing to see relics from the early 1900's. I wish i could post pictures from it, but you know the story with my camera. ugh.
We walked back from Pier 45 to Powell Street, once again not realizing how incredibly far it was. Keith and I once walked from North Beach to Embarcadero, and it didn't seem that far. I passed by one of my friends from high school on Market street, it was a little awkward. He waved and said hello at least. Ian and I found a hidden restaurant on Powell which was actually really good and cheap. Then I dragged him into Urban Outfitters, because for the first time in months I had money to spend. I bought another Munny (which in turn morphed into poor Jewish newspaper boy), and a pretty black shirt. I only spent 20 dollars, too. I was exhausted on the drive home, but we listened to Aeroplane and it turned into a soothing experience. All in all, a good day.

I'm going to start posting "Diggs of the Day" on here, because there's always one good hilarious news story in Top Topics everyday. Today will be Bill O'Reilly Gets Goatse'd.
and if you don't know what Goatse is, google it immediately. I hope you haven't just eaten.
