Saturday morning...Until

This is just a quick detailing of my wonderful weekend. This morning after working on an Avid icon to use for the DesktopX desktop I use, I played Quake 3 until 11am. Justine suggested that I make pancakes. Since we have been in this apartment, I had yet to try the griddle on our stove. We have what looks like a circa: some time before my parents were born (50's) stove with a Griddle section in the middle and 4 burners around the sides. I cleaned it and preheated it, began the pancake prep. Justine talked with Monica and I made breakfast. As everything goes, the pancakes turned out great. I tried to pour the batter in large, like a restaurant style circles, the variety that can fill one up with just a few. As I think about it now too, the entirety of the ingredients were from TJ's. Nevertheless, the breakfast was most satisfying. We ventured off to Golden Gate Park, to the Japanese Tea Gardens.. It was typically foggy, parking was hell, and it ended with my flipping someone off, because they stole our spot. They hadn't really stolen the spot, we tried to sneak into it coming from the other direction, and though we saw it first, well, that doesn't matter. At any rate, The garden was glorious. We agreed to come back to it on a day that isn't as crowded, when I have a charged camera battery, and when we can stroll about longer. One particularly peculiar behavior I have taken note of, is that we tend to do tourist activities in our own town, all the while chastizing all the damn tourists. It may in fact be possible that the majority of those amoung us are living in the city we are visiting. We sat and had Jasmine tea. As it was foggy, though not too cold, just right in fact, tea was a great healer. We are going out to see Full Frontal tonight, after dinner at Cafe Regio.

I look forward to the rest of the night.
