The Agrinautica

   Holy cannoli, that last entry, the one about rants, was NOT supposed to be posted here. It has been relocated and please pretend you never saw it. It was meant for my other blog, the one that dwarfs this one with 402 friends-of and many many many more comments per entry.

   Anyway, last week I was in Davis, Lake Tahoe, Davis, Berkeley, and Merced. I meant to post a more thorough reporting of my misadventures, but at the present moment I only have an hour to pack before I leave for Atlanta.

   Some highlights however:


   Sunday (the 9th) I had Sunday Brunch with Allan Rae & friends at the Capital Garage in Sacramento (unlimited mimosas!) it was awesome. Then we decided to go look for the underground tunnels in Sacramento ... but couldn't find them. )=

   Tuesday through Thursday was the beekeeping convention in Lake Tahoe. I learned enumerable interesting things. Hung out with the researchers mainly. Was really neat to be having dinner with the researchers you'd been reading about for more than a year.

   Friday I met with members of the new ASUCD Supreme Court. Looks like things fell apart and they're trying to stick it back together again d=
   The weather in Davis Friday night was absolutely wonderful. Nice and crisp but not too cold at all (was fine wearing a t-shirt). Then I headed down to Berkeley that night.

   Saturday I hung out with my friend Nidia in Berkeley. Trotted around Telegraph, ate at Top Dog. That evening we BBQed on her back porch (so I had hot dogs for two meals that day, SCORE!). Later we watched the movie Seeing Other People, which was pretty funny, and then while she and her boyfriend were studying I watched The Graduate (which I heretofor hadn't seen) and Bitter Harvest. When I get half a chance remind me to do my usual movie reviews for these films.

   Sunday I drove down to Merced and met with a member of the ASUC Merced Supreme Court and talked about the numerous issues facing them as a new court in a new government in a new school. Sounds like their ASUCM Senate is more hostile to their court than even the ASUCD Senate was!! O= Such sauce.
   So of course I taught him jedi tricks. Like Yoda putting Luke through the paces in Empire Strikes Back. Jk.

   Eventually I arrived home. The end.



Unrelated Technical Problem: Whenever I post the post form detects a date/time exactly eight hours later than what is correct. My computer is set to my correct timezone however, and when I access my account from a different computer it uses the correct time... so I can only imagine there's some kind of weird miscommunication between my comptuer and LJ?
