i really am doing work right now - it's called multi-tasking

what was good about being a student was that all your days start melting together. everyday was as good as the next. even though Mondays and Fridays take on a new meaning now that i'm working again (Mondays suck, Fridays gooood), at least the weekends are all my own now - no assignments, studying or exams to worry about. And my goal is to cram as much good stuff into them as i can while i'm here! Here's a rundown of my stress-free past weekend:

SATURDAY
11am-1pm
Ferry Bldg Farmer's Market. After a late Friday night, nothing like fresh air and fresh food to start off a Saturday morning. Right by the water, lots of fresh yummy stuff. Pricier, but worth it. Had me some homemade tamales and fresh oysters. Bought fresh basil, mushrooms, strawberries for Sunday dinner. And the grapefruit gelato tasted like real grapefruit and the snozzleberry tasted like real snozzleberry...(okay, bad insertion of Willy Wonka reference - sorry AbeL).

1:30pm-4pm
Muay Thai Kickboxing Tournament. Holy cow can these peeps jab and kick! (and i'm just talking about the 8-year-olds in the first round and the women in the second). A friend i just met whitewater rafting a couple weeks ago was competing so we had to check it out. Unbeknownst to me, there's this big underground thai kickboxing faction in SF - standing room only in the hot sweaty awesome warehouse/gym location. mats were everywhere, no one wore shoes, tattoos were common. it was great. and james kicked butt. :)

4:30pm-7pm
Linner, Caribbean-style. Too late for lunch, too early for dinner - let's have linner! Yum jerk chicken, corncake and ceviche (okay, so maybe ceviche isn't caribbean, but it was good.) at an outdoor patio place,to top off the afternoon. And of course no meal would have been complete without a lovely conversation about recreational drugs and scrabble.

7:30pm - 9:30pm
Sleepers, Jeepers. Sam debuted her first full-length screenplay, Sleepers, about a girl stuck in the moment, obsessed with playing cards, who is suddenly visited by her long-lost brother who tries to recruit her to be a prophet with him - yes, it really was that cool. Awesome intimate setting (aside from the normal theater seats, audience members could sit on pillows on the floor 10 feet from the actors) and a great time. great job Sam!

10:00pm-12:30am
Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I don't care how people feel about this movie - i liked it and Brad and Angelina are HOT.

12:45am-2am
City Tavern. Remind me never to go to the Marina bars to hang out again. 22-year old drunk frat boys and the girls they like to hit on (which is every girl).

SUNDAY
2pm-5pm
Scrabblemania! My friend, Manja, threw a scrabble tournament complete with a life size scoring sheet stuck to the wall. and yes, there were enough of us geeks to show up and play. Got second place. Damn it - so close!

5:30pm - 11:30pm
I Heart Caprese. My friend AbeL and i decided to do a lil dinner party for some friends. He made italian bread from scratch - with fresh basil (amazing!). then we made caprese salad - heirloom tomatos and fresh mozza and basil - mmm, still thinking about it and some puttanesca pasta (italian for prostitute or cupid, go figure). mix in some wine, scotch and ginger beer and it was a fine dinner. of course, had to finish the night with a game of Taboo (tho i could have used a game of poker). And of course, i was part of the team called Prancing Rainbow Unicorns (aka PRUs).

So now, i'm over the Monday hump (yesterday was pretty A.D.D. - though you are witness to me blogging during work now, shhhhh.) Off to vegas next weekend (maybe i will get in a game of poker afterall) - can't wait! Hope everyone has a great week!
