The Events that are: My Life

Things that go on in my life that cannot be catagorized somewhere else, sort of a catch-all

What To Do In San Francisco?

I’m leaving for a short trip to San Francisco tonight for — gasp — pleasure! Rachel’s will be in Bozeman for wedding planning and family time, and I’ve owed Matt a visit for a long time. I also have a handful of other friends (Audrey/Griffin, Shanan) Question is, what should I do? I get in late tonight (Thursday) and leave early Sunday afternoon.

I wanted to go to the Exploratorium1, but they’re closed while they move in to their new place.

The Bay Model Visitor Center2 also looks interesting.

I’ll be based out of the Haight neighborhood, what’s a nerd to do on vacation in San Fran?

Also, what’s the best way to get around? I have a free car rental I could use, but will parking be disastrous?

Where’s Andrew: An Update

Currently, I’ve been laying low with Mononucleosis. I got sick right after the first of the year with what I suspect was the flu. It came and went and then I got really tired. I did the tired thing for a couple of weeks, including a trip to San Diego. Eventually though it got to the point where I couldn’t sleep more than about two hours because my throat was so sore.

The ARNP thought it was strep, which I could totally see and would have actually been grateful for because I could have taken some antibiotics and been better within 48 hours. As it turned out, I got this letter instead1:

I was also busy with Christmas and now wedding planning and honestly, just life in general.

I’ve been struggling to figure out what to do with this space. Blogging is not as high a priority as it used to be, which I think is a good thing — it means there are other things that are really exciting. I still really want to share things though, I just don’t know how to best do that yet.

I’m going to try an experiment for the next month or so where I’m going to be posting more links to things I find interesting. I’m also hoping to post some more pictures…sort of like Instagram, but without all the Terms of Service drama.

Stolen Plates

Got a friendly knock on my door this morning from the police. Someone stole the plates off my car in the middle of the night. Who does that? Apparently car thieves who needed clean plates for the white Subaru they stole last week.

At least they only took my plates, a trip to the License Plate office and $29.75 gets me new plates. Frustrating, but doable.
