Spring Break, and How Soggy it is.

Hello All.

Update, I've now given the settings to this site a boot to the head and allowed anyone to post comments. Fire Away, all!

Don't know how much time everyone is spending blogging or not, haven't seen anything recent lately of some fellow online journals.

Spent some time on Friday over at the cemetery in Piedmont. Nice, quiet place for a walk, got some great views and interesting tombstones. It's a good place to gather one's thoughts, to reflect, and to be at peace. I suppose my view will change once someone close dies, but until then (if ever), cemeteries remain nice places to visit. Nice weather that day.

Took a trip to SF on Sat., and gonna head back there Tues. with Toes (yes, definitely!). I was hoping to take care of the Club business at AFS on Sat., but we got there just after they closed, damn their early weekend hours! Ahh well, Toes and I will storm the place just when they open will be sure to loot them for all their worth. Extra knickers, anyone? :) (I detest smilies, but I figure if I want to erase any suspicion that I actually WILL rob the fencing store, I should be sure to be clear that it was a joke, no matter how graphically smarmy) Got my second extended exercise with a jaunt around Golden Gate park, the Central Park of SF. Great place for anyone who hasn't been there: Green, fully wooded with Californian Redwoods and Eucalyptus, and is a prime place for walks and biking trips.

On an interesting point, my parents and I were driving up Market (the main drag downtown) and found a place we thought to be a Cafe simply called "Yum." Upon entering, we found it a store chock full of interesting foodage. They had a freezer full of old-school sodas, RC Cola and the like. I picked up a bottle of "Moxie," which tasted as arcane as it's wrapper showed to be. Had an initial fresh, sweet taste. Then kinda lingered on the tongue and resolved into a somewhat bitter after-taste when swallowed. I'll bring the bottle back to Davis as proof of this "Elixer," interesting stuff.

Had an old buddy of mine over today, blew the dust of the PS2 and had myself a hand at the new Prince of Persia and Devil May Cry games. Awesome stuff. Ate an entire chocolate rabbit and some See's Chocolate butter eggs. Rather regretted it afterward. Started to get rather soggy around the afternoon, but luckily got a good walk up to Lake Chabot with my Dad early.

All that remains of today is finishing this post, waiting to see if My Lady calls me back, and contemplating an instrument practice. Two of these will be completed, no doubt, yet a third remains to be seen; funny how it is the one I most want to happen. You, dear reader, I am sure can tell which.
Before signing off, a little something I found a link to in someone else's profile a while back. What would you be like as a cocktail? My results...

Arg! This Blog doesn't like Tables! This was originally presented in a pretty table, but evidently this site doesn't recognize table HTML. Man, don't make me use Xanga, stupid Blogger.com! However, I find this recipe is truthful, I find.

Enough. More Later.
