Does anyone remember about a month ago when I was sitting around all day long only leaving the house to walk the dog or visit the neighbors? I do. And I also remember thinking, “One day soon I’m going to wish I had this much free time to lounge around.” But at the time I didn’t care because all that free time was making me INSANE. Literally. Just ask Dan.
Well, that day where I wish to have that free time again is here. It is here and it is a bitch. Don’t get me wrong, I love having projects, and being productive, and I always push myself to do more. But I've found my threshold. In the past seven days I…
Went with Dan and our pups on an overnight camping trip to Mount Umunhum near Los Gatos, CA. We went with B.A.S.H., otherwise known as the Bay Area Siberian Husky Club. We met all kinds of great new peeps and pups, watched the doggies pull stuff around for fun and slept in the back of the truck. See my Facebook album for more on that.
Had my first product launch at work. We successfully launched Katy Perry Revenge this week, a music gaming iPhone/iPod app with all Katy Perry music and graphics. It’s very pink and bubbly. On the upside we managed to keep the release of the game under wraps (sort-of) and we didn’t break anything such as servers, the game, our computers or each other. On the downside I’ve been randomly bursting out into Katy Perry songs and Dan doesn’t seem to be much of a fan.
Met with Whitney Nichole, a Bay Area singer/songwriter who has just recorded her first full-length album and will be releasing it in a few months. Through one of my previous instructors, Whitney contacted me for assistance in getting word out to the people about her new album. How flattering! Let’s hope I don’t screw it up. She’s a super cool chick with a great sound who put Ludacris to shame when she and her sister recently covered the tune “Break Your Heart” during a live show at the Hotel Utah in San Fran. Keep an eye on her; this could get epic…
Finished the week out at the Eat Real Festival at Jack London Square in Downtown Oakland. It was a festival of food. Literally. There were food trucks and tents from local eateries, breweries, wineries and ice creameries all over the Bay Area. We went with our friends/neighbors Elliot and Teresa. I ate a burrito the size of my head that was so delicious I wanted to marry it and drank beer from a mason jar. On the way home Elliot forced us into the Ben & Jerry's where Dan had a tender moment with a scoop of Peanut Butter Cookie Dough ice cream and I had a strawberry ice cream cone which was, again, as big as my head. I'm now entering a food coma. My kind of festival.

Generally speaking this is where I’d leave you with some funny/witty/sum-it-all-up words of wisdom. But since I didn’t bother writing a title, why bother writing a conclusion. The end.
