they gathered up at the river that weekend to help celebrate their friend's 40th birthday. little did they know that down by the river lurked a stranger who had other plans for them. would any of them survive the grisly fate that awaited them…that's how my weekend at the russian river played out in my mind. tis true, i went up to the russian river to celebrate pevil turning 40. mrs.b had rented a house so that we could all gather together to honor her adorable wife. it really was the perfect setting for a horror movie. but as you can gather, we all made it out of there alive—or did we…



the weekend at the river was a complete blast. it was a good group of peeps. we ate delicious food, drank vast amounts of wine, played various kinds of games, etc. i even managed to come up with a theme song for guernville. what more could one want.



some highlights from the weekend:

01. the crazy guy at the gas station who wanted us to give him a ride
02. the tweaker in line at whole foods
03. relaxing by the fire while reading nancy drew #33
04. meeting new peeps
05. hot tubbing it at night under the redwoods
06. a most awesome scrabble game with mrs. b & amy
07. ping pong
08. pevil blowing out all 40 candles with one breathe
09. the most vivid/bizarre/fucked up dreams i've had in a very long time
10. eating breakfast & dinner all together [i felt like i was part of the waltons]
11. everyone enjoying themselves
12. the great lost debate over snacks
13. singing my new river song for d, adawg, adawg's gal, & j
14. adawg's very hot & very sexy outfit of ugs & undies
15. being able to help pevil celebrate her big day
16. and many, many, many more…

just where will i end up next is any ones guess.
stay gold & be well…

things have been pretty uneventful lately. i've been keeping a low profile due to the cold i was battling. i can now safely say that the worst is behind me. colds suck, especially, when you still have to get up and face work. i did manage to squeeze in a movie last week, gran torino. overall, i thought it was pretty good. i really liked the story line. my problem was mostly with the acting, or lack of.

there was a bit of excitement at my apartment building the other night when two firetrucks pulled up. the firemen came into the building to check things out. there's was no knock on my door telling me to evacuate so i didn't think much of it. i never did find out why they were called; however, the other day i noticed a sticker on the front door of our building saying that the fire alarm doesn't work. i'm beginning to think that living in a building with a lot of old people might not be so wise. they seem determined to burn it. perhaps, i'll look into finding a new abode.

muni conversation #623
man on phone: kept saying how he wasn't going to get off the bus to go smoke a lame joint because he was tired and wanted to go home. he must have said this 5 times getter louder and louder every time he repeated it. he eventually got off the bus most likely to smoke that joint.

tonight, i'm off to a company dinner. should be interesting to say the least. i'll be sure to fill you in on all the juicy details. i'm sure there will be some. just where will i end up next is any one's guess.

my first post for 2009. how exciting is that! my first instinct was to blog about my new years resolutions then i thought again. do i really want this list to exist in cyberspace taunting me, especially if i fail to accomplish any of them. so instead, i will keep them to myself. that way, my failures can be my own. although, i am going to do my best to accomplish them. i'll let you know how i did on december 31, 2009. stay tuned.

last week was quite a busy one. there seemed to be something going on every night. i kept meaning to blog about them but never did. on tuesday, i went to d&j's for our stocking exchange. this was the first time we did this. if i do say so myself, it was pretty successful. everyone had a good time and everyone scored major goodies. my stocking was stuffed with the following: tube socks, a christmas cactus, a gift certificate, a bunny patch, and a flush anime snow owl/bunny. i love new traditions. can't wait to see who i get next year and who gets me.







nye was a quiet one. misty had a little gathering with the crew. we ate, drank, danced, and listened to music. misty bought christmas crackers. you pull them and a prize pops out. i got a pink pooch key chain. i'm so lucky. at midnight we watched a recap of the ball dropping in new york. new year's day i did absolutely nothing and loved every minute of it.







friday night, we celebrated butter bean's birthday in style at the top of the mark. they have an awesome 360º view of sf and honestly, that's all i can really say about the place. it was bb's 40th birthday celebration, so it didn't really matter where we were. it was all about celebrating how great she is. she had gotten a room at the mark hopkins hotel, so we had a mini after party hoedown in her room. happy birthday, butterbean!







on saturday morning we had brunch with butterbean at the nob hill cafe. afterwards, misty & i went to see slumdog millionare. what an amazing movie. if you haven't seen yet you must go. later that night i continued my wong kar-wai obessession by watching happy together. another great movie. just where will i end up next is any one's guess.
