Going with Bo to get Mariage Liscense

Yesterday Bo and Umi were going to get a mariage liscense. They were expecting to get married, but since they need another appointment to get married with a ceremony they will have to go back.

Before going to City Hall, we enjoyed some great seafood at Swan Oyster Depot (Yelp)

We had Oysters, Salmon, and they also got some Urchin. I’ve had urchin before and don’t really care for it. It was amazing that the urchin was still moving while Bo and Umi were eating it.

It was really nice of them to invite me out for their wedding, even if it didn’t actually happen.

Game of Thrones S3E7

I really enjoyed this episode, and it made a lot of movements forward in the plots. We went over to Simon, Josh, and Trey’s. Simon’s friends were there and cooked some amazing garlic bread, giant cookie, baked brie, and pasta. I had a tasty cup of Bailey’s for watching the episode

Hanging out at Jeremy’s

We went to Jeremy B’s place for the afternoon. Stephanie and Jeremy spent the time painting mini’s and I spent the time updating the blog, looking up a little more Thailand info, and taking a glorious nap. Jeremy’s cats were so fluffy, especially Ash. His couch is really comphy as well, and it reminds me a lot of our couch. We had some of the cherries that we got at the farmer’s market and they were phenomenal.

Elephant Bar Restaurant

After the martial arts tournament we went to a place called the Elephant Bar Restaurant. It was a really great atmosphere. The fans were big waving fans that went back and forth, and there was a wooden elephant head watching us dine. The food was decent, but I’d be willing to go back just for the atmosphere. We all got drinks since they had just finished a really tiring tournament, I got a Blue Moon which was really tasty. Dan was really happy to get his long awaited beer, since he’d been talking about it since the 3rd to last match he had. All of them were so tired. I really enjoyed meeting them all (Chris, Dan, Jason, Heidle, Diana, Michael).

Nima and Caryn took me bike riding this morning through Portola Valley. It was a really intense ride and I was lagging behind a little the entire time. I am going to be walking a little funny tomorrow from it. I really enjoyed the ride, and would love to do it again. We ended the ride with a quick pass through Stanford and sat in the Oval for a couple minutes to cool down. We talked about what we would do if we had no worries about money. Nima would dance, Caryn would get a PhD, and I would do the same things I’m doing now, just with a small difference in the time weighting.

We then went to the Cal Ave farmer’s market to meet up with Steph and Tina. The market had lots of delicious blueberries, and of course I got a Samosa. We sat under the giant metal flowers for a while and chatted. I also got a good bit of broccoli and cucumber.

Dinner with Bo and Umi

We went to Holy Grill and talked about what Bo has been doing. He seems to be doing well, but needs to be a lot more insistent on the companies he is helping to hire him or pay him. He seems to be really happy now that Umi is here and they are going to be getting married soon. I found out that Sean Teague is moving to the bay area. I hope Bo is happy wherever he ends up. Also found out that John Forrest just graduated and is looking for a job in robotics for a mechanical engineer.

Makeup Party

We went over to Adam’s house for a makeup party. We decided that I would do Stephanie’s makeup and that she would do mine. I chose to make her look like an egyptian, she chose to make me a two face.

One side of the face has “normal” makeup and the other has “fancy” makeup.

We did this at Adam’s house with Andrew, Jeremy B, and a couple of people I hadn’t met before. I had a really nice alcohol free diet ginger beer, but I added a little bit of vodka. Adam also made a drink with lavender syrup. Adam also served really nice cheese, it was a goat cheese with garlic and herbs.

Shezan, Castro, and Shoreline Lake

After horseback riding Steph and I went straight to Shezan. Castro street at the time had an art fair going on. While we waited for our food at Shezan to be ready we went down the street and looked at some really amazing art. I got something for Nana, and possibly will get something there tomorrow for Dad. After about 20 min we went back to Shezan and got our food, which we took down to Shoreline lake to eat. The lake was really pretty, and I was hoping to see some goslings but no such luck.

Veggie Crackers

Last night I set up some veggie pulp + soy sauce + honey nut granola bunches of oats that had been blended together to dry out in Nick’s dehydrator. They weren’t fully dried this morning, but I tried a bit anyway. They were unbearably bitter. I’m not sure what happened, because the mixture was pretty good last night before it was dried. I’ll try spicing it tonight, but I’m not sure it can be salvaged as it currently is.
