| Goats & a picnic |
[27 Apr 2012|02:36pm] |
It was miserably hot and painfully bright. So of course all my friends were like "YAY amazing weather come play outside" and I was like "Oh god, just kill me now, that way I can escape the sunburns and headaches that come with summer". Stephanie wanted to go to the beach but since it was the first hot weekend of the year the 45 minutes drive to the beach was actually a 2 and a half hour drive. As a compromised I told her we could have a picnic in the shade, on the field behind my house. That way I could escape to my blissful air-condition ASAP.
On the way back to my house after picking up Steph she insisted that we pull off the road to say hi to some goats that were mowing the lawn in front of the VTA office by my place.
See that fence, does it look particularly electric to you? It was made out of zip-ties and what appeared to be twine or yarn. It was not twine, instead evil electrical currents. Steph and I both got shocked before figuring it out. Pretty sad that the goats are smarter than us.
I love the derp face on the goat in the left hand corner :)
Picnic time! I have "suffering from allergies" and "blind because I am a mole" face going on.

| St Patty's Day |
[27 Apr 2012|02:26pm] |
St Patty's Day: how us Americans love any excuse to bastardize a holiday. ;) We ate more mashed potatoes, corn beef and cabbage than I thought possible. Then some of us (Lee) drank the night away.
The full set is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51846205@N00/sets/72157629805318877/
Stephanie made this weird mix drink that we did as shots because it was super strong and a little bit horrible. Later I saw Lee drink the rest of the drinks combined out of our large measuring cup, oh my.
I have no idea why the white board marker is so funny.
I gave Stephanie a pineapple for her birthday. She named him Larry, gave him a face, and decided they were dating.
Let this be a lesson to you kids at home, don't ever drink all the drinks out of a measuring cup:

| SJ Made SJ Eats |
[27 Apr 2012|02:19pm] |
Stephanie, Jerry, Ashley, Matt and I went to SJ Made SJ Eats. It's an annual half craft fair & half food truck event near our place. Matt & I have been addicted to food trucks ever since we went food truck heaven (aka southern california) last year. I had a vegetarian crispy chicken taco from http://eatonmonday.com/ and it was the best taco I've had in my life, better than a Dorito taco even ;)

| Margarita Funday |
[04 Apr 2012|01:22am] |
I used to get together with my former Borders coworkers for Margarita Mondays. We would all hang out on a Monday night and hit up Aqui or Acapulco for drinks and silliness. Well now Acapulco is gone and Aqui get to be pricey after a while. Also we are all busy with school or work on Mondays. Which brings us to Margarita Funday- any day in which we get together at my place for margaritas ;)

| Valentines Day Tea Party |
[06 Mar 2012|06:16pm] |
The small tea party I planned to have in my house, turned into a huge tea party with around 30 people at the park in our apartment complex. We eventually got too cold and crammed everyone into our living-room for an evening of boardgames and crafting. It was crazy but it was a lot of fun and I am forever grateful to matt and all our friends that helped. <3
More pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51846205@N00/sets/72157629493823405/
A couple groups wanted to explore the gardens around our complex and take pictures.

| New Years Eve |
[05 Jan 2012|01:35am] |
New Years Eve was great. Everyone brought so much food and champagne to share. A few of the girls decide at the last moment to dress up. Everyone's idea of dressing up was a little different so we have everything from bowties & top hats to kilts and prom dresses to clubbing dresses. We played a massive game of Yatzee, a round of Cards Against Humanity, made fun of stuff on youtube, spent half the night taking silly pictures and ended the night with Charades. Such the party animals, lol ;)
The rest of the NYE party pictures are all here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51846205@N00/sets/72157628726805805/

| Hakone Gardens |
[05 Jan 2012|12:29am] |
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) smithsonain hosted a meetup at Hakone Gardens for New Years Eve. We had a potluck picnic and wandered around the gardens for a while. I am insane and decided I could totally go to a meetup, come home, clean the entire apartment, prepare snacks and get everything ready for our NYE party on time. Luckily our friends are reliably late to parties :D So it all worked out in the end.
The rest from the meetup are all here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51846205@N00/sets/72157628724445411/

| Global Winter Wonderland |
[05 Jan 2012|12:13am] |
Stephanie, Matt and I went to go check out Global Winter Wonderland (http://www.globalwonderland.org/) a couple weeks ago. We had actually tried to go the week before because our Groupon was confusing/full of lies and it wasn't actually open on weekdays yet. The food smelt awful, the bands playing were horrible, Santa was a bit creepy but we went for the Dinosaur maze and the giant silk & light sculptures so we weren't too disappointed. I think it helped that we didn't pay full price and parked for free across the street instead of shelling out the $10-$20 they wanted for parking.
The rest from that night are all here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51846205@N00/sets/72157628712772041

| Christmas in the Park |
[03 Jan 2012|11:22pm] |
I've been going to Christmas in the Park (http://www.christmasinthepark.com/) in downtown San Jose pretty much every year since I was a little kid. The entire park is covered in Christmas trees that local organizations decorate and it's all decked out with animatronic displays and fake snow flurries. It's incredibly cheesy and a bit run down but it's free and it's a bit of a tradition now. I hosted a lolita meetup where we went to Christmas in the Park after enjoying afternoon tea at The Fairmont and ended the night with trying desperately not to kill myself iceskating.
The rest from that day are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51846205@N00/sets/72157628617530725/with/6593195123/

| Dickens Fair |
[03 Jan 2012|10:33pm] |
The Great Christmas Dickens Fair (http://www.dickensfair.com/) goes for a month before Christmas up in San Francisco. It's a lot like ren faire, there are many of the same people that work at Dickens Fair and at least a couple groups that put on the same acts at both with nothing more than a costume change. It's still a lot of fun though and definitely worth checking out. They turn the entire Cow Palace into Christmas day in Victorian London. There's aways a handful of steampunks there as well. I threw together a steampunk lolita themed outfit, dressed my brother up in some super half assed steampunk stuff at the last minute and he tagged along with me and Matt to a lolita meetup there. I'm pretty sure he was bored out of his mind but he trooped through it longer than I thought he would.
You can check out all rest from Dickens Fair here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51846205@N00/sets/72157628229868333
