fireworks!
last night, coming home from practice on BART, we were treated to one of the best fireworks displays i’ve ever seen. it was loud and long, and made people nearly miss their trains. wow.

weds wins!!!!!!!!
larry- sheff weds just beat hartlepool!!!!
so, i’m listening to the game quietly in joe’s room, as not to wake jenn. i wish i could be dancing around screaming, but i’ll just weep quietly instead. oh man. this is great. sheffield wednesday is back!!! with two goals in extratime, the last one in the last 30 seconds of the game, they were on form. i wish i could be watching the trophy ceremony.

wake up with the owls!
initially i was worried about the onset of depression tomorrow- joe is leaving me for months after all- but not anymore.
i can listen to sheffield wednesday and their playoff match against hartlepool. could this be the impetus to get them promoted back to the premiership? man, one can only hope!

old lady wants pizza
jeff, here’s proof your state is weird- 86 year old lady jailed for complaining about slow pizza delivery
Dorothy Densmore of Charlotte, North Carolina, called the emergency 911 service 20 times in 38 minutes.
Angry she could not get the meal delivered to her home, she demanded police arrest the pizza proprietors.
But when she refused to stop calling, police arrived with their own delivery, arresting her for abusing the hotline.
She told police that she had been called a “crazy old coot” by someone at the pizza shop.

walk on…
today joe and i went out for dinner before getting ice cream. i happened to catch the last bit of extra time and subsequent penalty shoot out of the uefa champions league final. it was great. liverpool, home of my now second favourite england national player steven gerrard, were trailing 3-0 at the half, but pulled off a dramatic comeback. kicked off with a header , liverpool came back to win it in penalty kicks. this is the first international game i’ve seen a team from england win off penalties. seriously.
the truly sad thing is… i cried. liverpool made me cry. the fuck? they are scum! i official support everton out of the merseyside teams, but it was a stunning end and it made me cry. i’m such a sucker for championships.
oh, and on a totally unrelated topic- thank god ken jennings lost jeopardy.

sweaters!
the old director of the library sent this to one of our librarians, who then forwarded it to all of us. why he sent it only to her, we don’t know. i think i’ve seen it before, but it’s still awesome. some of the sweaters are too ironic, but some of them are quite nice. i like her hair and pants especially.

renewal
yesterday and today i spent hour upon hours sending out overdue and renewal notices at work. as a result of our anachronistic manual circulation system, it takes days to do a full sweep. first you cull the cards, then put them in order by patron, then email patrons with telling them their stuff’s overdue. it sucks. some people get super pissy about it, but come on! it’s not like we do it all the time. argh. people just need to return stuff on time and stop lying about it.
on a more positive note, i just renewed my driver’s license over the internet! this is my first renewal. man, i feel old-ish. i also feel like a sell-out. why did i ever get it in the first place? peer pressure. oh well. it’ll make sense once i get a car when i go to school in san jose, but first i need my job.
if it’s not one thing, it’s another.

take a week off…
so i guess this week has been weird and awash. it’s been rough since my awesome supervisor, gianni velcreaux is leaving the east bay for nyc. i have been conumed with bouts of grief and manic partying in his honour. i have no idea what this week will be like, how will i get by without my daily dose of fault?
all joking aside, i’m really going to miss sean, probably more than i thought i would. he’s a good friend, and it always sucks to lose one of those.
hellen went with me to the big faulty good-bye party for sean/gianni last night. it was insane. i met all the faulters i’ve heard so much about. we also hung out with ex-library man rahul and his girlfriend. they are neat, not to be trite. the whole party was at davis house (a co-op) and reminded me of why i love (the bounce house!) and hate (the drunk hippies/hipsters trying to get laid) co-ops. the party just wouldn’t end. i acted like a drunk monkey in the bounce house. somebody even asked me if i was drunk. ha! as if! i felt guilty sometime after 0230, because jenn was spending the night and i was partying, so hellen and i walked home. i hated leaving. i need more parties.
hellen is a great friend. i wish i could have seen jenn (more than the bottom of her feet when i stumbled upstairs). i don’t want sean to leave.

pomp and polyester
today i graduated from berkeley. not officially as i still need to finish my bio class, but i walked with the german department. it was so uncomfortable and obnoxious, but i love my parents enough to go through it. all told, it was 4 hours of my life i’ll never get back, but at least i’ll never have to do it again. it’s like the shortened version of the past 5 years of my life…
other than my parents and my brother coming down for this, joe and jenn were there to support me. they’re family now, whether they like it or not. other grad celebrations today included a late lunch/early dinner at barneys with joe and jenn, playing winning 11 8, and jenn and i meeting up with frank at becketts for drinks. they have good iced tea. jenn came over to watch antiques roadshow. that show is freaky. i wish i could have done something cool, but i have to dj at 6am so i have to go to bed now. blech.
i don’t think today is registering. it’s so anticlimatic. all the other german majors all did so much and are so excited about school. i just want a job. i want to be a bum. i want to be mellow and dull. oh wait, i’m pretty much there.
oh, and this gem from livejournal is great. jeff sent it to me.

pigbot!!!
tonight, i went and stocked up on robots to get me through the next month or so. tonight, against better judgement, i built the pigbot. this thing is rad. i thought i couldn’t beat trubot, but i was wrong. pigbot is wicked cool and a little bit freaky.
