It's cold and grey. It's supposed to rain.
It doesn't feel like there is an end in sight for my cold. It's getting old.

So, on Dec. 23 my mom and step-dad came into the city to pick me up and have dinner with his family. We went to a fancy Italian restaurant by the Embarcadero. It was okay, not the best but certainly not the worst. Then we cruised into Martinez and spent a little time ay his brothers house.
On Christmas eve Dave and I went to see "I am Legend" with Will Smith and I really enjoyed it. The intensity never really let up, there was some tear jerking parts....I'd see it again. For lunch he treated me to Applebee's which isn't that great of a place. Then we ran around town and looked at all of the empty houses, which there is a bunch of. Opened presents that evening. My mom got me a fantastic book called "Weird California" and I really like it. I want to visit some of the spots so bad.
Christmas day was spent at my aunt's house in Modesto. Got to chat with my family that I literally see once a year now. My uncle is doing metal work that is being used in winery's, as far away as Spain! I think that is very cool.
By the day after Christmas I was ready to get the hell back to SF. E's mom drove us to Pleasanton and we took the BART in. I was so happy to be home. I don't like to spend too much time in the valley.

Just remembered that I had a dream about that weird porn guy called Mr. 18inch......I don't know why.

Took a trip to Berkeley this afternoon. Took the BART on out.

BART station


Then we farted around and went to an outlet store, the North Face I believe. Then stopped in for some super tasty chinese food. I think the fried rice was cooked in butter! It was wonderful.


Random Berkeley shots....




So, I'm acting like a teenage girl with my digital camera, but I can't help it.....
