Ghiradelli chocolate festival!

on saturday, i went on an adventure to sf. except that i missed the 1:30 train which ment that i had to wait an hour for the next train. missing that hour made it so that i only had a bit less than an hour to spend exploring the vendors. but i did have time to try goats milk ice cream, fudge, cake, and cookie vendors. but since i got there after 4 (it closed at 5), alot of the stalls were already empty. i'm assuming that they ran out of samples. at about 4:30, sara met me and we walked around a bit and then headed for dinner in japantown. i had udon for dinner. sara had a tekka bowl. good stuff. but they were a bit understaffed and we had to flag down a waiter to order and get more tea. after dinner, we got a hold of my cousin jake and decided to meet up. we spoke in korean/spanglish to each other and finally met each other at tommy's tequila bar and mexican restaurant. jake the tequila connosauoir pointed out all his favorites, which ones were only worth drinking a shot of at the bar, which ones went through what process.. yes. jake likes his tequila. when i told him that tequila and i are not friends, he said that we just weren't introduced correctly.

on sunday, sarita, her friend jessica, and i went to watch breakfast at tiffany's at the stanford theater. good movie. then we went to the nuthouse b/c we were supposed to meet up with sara, michael, and travis there. but they weren't there and only creepy old guys were there. so we went to starbucks instead. i had the pumpkin spice latte. i like pumpkin spice but don't like coffee. i asked for extra pumpkin spice but it still tasted like coffee to me. then jessica went home since she had to be up early for work and sarita and i headed back to the nuthouse to meet sara, michael, and travis. lots of pool was played. little beer was drunk. personal low point: when michael, sarita, and i played cutthroat and he sank all our balls and all his were still on the table. personal high point: when i beat travis. then kristin, travis and i went to happy donuts to play scrabble. kristin won and travis and i tied. i think it was 160 to 92. pretty ridiculous. i pretty much suck at scrabble. i could not put down a word longer than 4 letters. but in my defense, i kept drawing vowels. specifically, "E"s. for three rounds i had 4 or 5 "E"s, 2 or 3 "I"s or an occasional "U".
