Hailing Cab / Communication Fail

I never realized how ridiculously impossible it is to get a cab in SF, post-club Saturday night. Like seriously, I was out on Broadway and Stockton for 45 minutes and EVERY cab that passed was already hired. There were tons of people nearby also trying to hail a cab and only a few of them actually succeeded.

First of all, my ride didn't tell me that he was leaving Broadway, and then I found out from another friend that everyone in my car had left. I thought that they drove V home because I knew that she had to leave early and no one had told me otherwise, so at the end of the night I was just like - oh hey, I can cab home. WRONG. NO FUCKING CABS FOR ANJULI.

After trying to get a cab, to no avail, Jimmy called to see if I wanted to eat. When the plan fell through, Jimmy insisted on helping me get a cab before leaving.

An hour later we gave up and I called Julian to get me. I feel terrible for inconveniencing both of them. At Mel's, I realized that Julian left Broadway early and had already showered and gone to bed. He said when he passed my house earlier, he had a feeling that he'd have to pick me up. Jimmy waited an hour with me in the cold while his friends waited on him. I'm indebted and grateful to both, and to avoid a re-run, have vowed to drive myself everywhere from now on.

I hate Broadway.

Sharks vs. Blackhawks, & Cow

So, yeah we lost. BUT HAD GREAT SEATS!!! Alex and I were in section 107 (thanks to Bo, mucho gracias BO!!!), which I much prefer to the 2-something we had last time. I could actually see, the rows were short, and the people are MUCH classier in the lower levels. The game was crazy intense, and there were so many "almost" shots but as we all know - almost doesn't count. Popcorn shrimp and garlic fries with pilsner for dinner, couldn't ask for more!! We lost by 1 in overtime, and it was certainly a good game. I totally was losing my voice and had such an amazing time. Damn, I LOVE HOCKEY!!!!!! DANY HEATLEY!!! Holler!

And then I came back to the city, dropped off FROWERS for Bo's mom, then dropped Alex off at home. And then I went to cow!!! Got to see old friends =) which is always a good time, and DOM got down and dirty in a dance battle with some girl with glasses!!! VERY entertaining! We're going to go back, and Dom is going to DOM-IN-ATE her. Yeah!!! Carl's Jr. afterparty, involving CRISS-CUT FRIES mmmmmmmm-mmm-mm. Fantastic night.

Clown Hair

Well, separately.

Dude, I love this commercial:

Screaming Walmart Clown - watch more funny videos

Oh, and last night Charles and I went to Chez Papa for dinner. I wanted to love it, but I didn't? The day overall kind of sucked, but at least Freddie Prinze Jr. didn't die...

I went to Spices for dinner with Dom and Bryant. We discovered that I DEFINITELY do not appreciate stinky tofu. AND AFTER DINNER I CUT DOM'S HAIR!!! And it *WASN'T* a disaster!!! I usually don't trust myself with these things, but it actually didn't turn out badly, at all ;) Then we watched more 24. Oh, 24...

Screenplay Class & Chaya

Today was my first day of screenplaying writing class! And what a day it was. Alex woke me up with a backpack emergency! So my day got off to a frantic start and I was just a mess the rest of the day. I got Starbucks before I went to school and I spilled some on my white hoodie. I also got lost finding my class because I wasn't paying attention to the room numbers. And then I went to class without a pen or paper, and we had an in-class writing assignment! And while I was looking for parking I f*'d up Rupert's exhaust. I was backing into a driveway and I hit a freakin' pile of bricks. BAH!!!! I ended up not even finding street parking, and resorted to paying for the parking lot.

I am excited about the class though. It's very intensive and the workload would be crazy if I was taking other classes, but luckily I'm not and I don't even care about the grade.

But then the day got better, I went to dinner with Julian at Chaya Brasserie! The food was really good, and the service was even better. I had a glass of Duckhorn Decoy with my steak and it was delicious, my favorite red wine yet! We had a shrimp appetizer and creme brulee dessert - everything was good. Even though it was a Japanese/French fusion restaurant, there were paintings of CHINESE people on the walls!! WTF!!! Fun night anyway though, and a great start to the week =)

Throw D's On That Bitch

Yesterday was action-packed! Worked all day and then went to my FIRST SHARKS GAME ever! Alex had the tickets and I think with ANY sporting event I have to sit lower level so I can see. The crowd was ghetto - not Warriors-game-ghetto but white ghetto. The row behind us was a bunch of drunk frat boys who were yelling obscene and racist things, they eventually got kicked out for throwing beer at people. Behind them was some drunk Indian girl that was trying desperately to get their attention.

There was also a fight! No, not in the game, but in the section right next to us! Fights are always exciting!! The nachos at HP are really good, and they give you a LOT. Too bad I could only eat half! So we won the game, against the Sabers, and it was exhilarating when the Sharks scored because we got to scream "hey" to the Hey Song (idk what it's actually called).

After the game, we headed back to the city and went to Sens (Nick's, Nader's and Alvin's birthdays)! It was great seeing so many old friends and I had a blast. I wish I had gotten there earlier, but not really because before 2 I was ready to go home. What a long day.

BAMN!

What an exciting day at work!!!! We got the S1000RR in the afternoon, and EVERYONE was drooling all over it for the rest of the day. Such an awesome bike!!! Even watching it come off of the truck was exciting! We don't have the key yet but I'm really curious to see what it sounds like. OHhhhhhhh, so so so so so so cooooool. I wish they would make a my-sized version...
