::my first saturday of semi-freedom:

    Yesterday was insane.  but when i got home kara came over and we watched the dark crystal and made veggie tacos and baked a big cherry pie.  it was all deliciousness.  i had never seen all of the dark crystal so it was cool to see it all start to finish.  it also re-pissed me off about something which brings me to.....

TotD:  The last thing that really pissed you off.
Upon rediscovering the amazing work of jim henson and frank oz i got re-pissed off at george lucas.  i realize that jim is dead now but why would you sever the relationship with the creature that remained and thrived under his son brian???  Star Wars 1-3 would have sucked waaaaaaaaay less had the creature shop been involved.  UGH!  I mean he forgot that greedo shot first in a story that he wrote, i don't even want to know what's next for this douche bag!

Today was slow and hot.  it was 80 degrees here in the bay area, and yes i'm going to complain about this kind of weather in the middle of April.  the office was disgustingly muggy and i kept falling asleep.  The spring craft fair was happening outside so on my lunch i went out and browsed the wares and i bought a few of these adorable fridge magnets with, you guessed it cats on it.  the girl that made them was so cute herself i wanted to smile and buy all her things.  but i only had $10 on me so i got as many of the magnets as i could.  this is her website.

After work, matt and i got some sandwiches and snacks from safeway and went to this forest/park place up in the hills by the observatory for a picnic.  It was so beautiful there!  and for being so close to oakland and the rest of the bay the silence there was deafening.  I have a strange association between forests an being murdered so it was all exciting/scary and adventure like.  i only took a few pictures because  the trees all kinda start to look the same after a few shots, but the experience is what is amazing about this place.   something else that amazed me about this place is that it was so clean!  not a ton of garbage or structures signifying that humans had been there.  i really enjoyed it.
