The Agrinautica

   First day of the quarter today here at Davis.

   Last week Kristy came up to OC to visit, and we went with Nidia & Marybelle to the Goat Hill Tavern, a place the guys at work talk about a lot. Unfortunately for various reasons the guys from work couldn't make it -- Bob was entertaining people at his place, Ryan had fallen off a ladder that morning and sprained his ankle, and Jeremy was responding to my textmesseges completely nonsensically .. I'm assuming he was already plastered somewhere or something. But Kristy finally got to meet Nidia & Marybelle so that was fun.

   Then Kristy & I went down to San Diego. Saturday was her 22nd birthday, so along with her roommates Sashie & Lyrakeet, & Lyrakeet's sister Forest & Forest's boyfriend Warren we all went to Joe's Crab Shack because Kristy is all about the crab. And Sloshie made this thing called a trifle that was hellorz good.
   That evening we went to an indie club, but it wasn't anything at all like Rock It here in Davis . )=

   Sunday we went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park, and it was the awesome.

   On Monday Kristy had her first day of work as an Assistant II in the office of the Dean of Engineering at UC San Diego. During the day I went to lunch with my friend from high school, Liz Gonzalez. Later on Chris Bunch arrived to visit everyone.
   Tuesday morning Sloshkins drove me to the San Diego train station, from where I took the train to the Irvine station. My parents had dropped my car off there the night before so I drove it from there down to Mission Viejo to finish packing. Then up to UCI to get a copy of my UCI transcript (their registrar's office is so much more efficient than ours. Here it takes six days to get a transcript unless you pay rush fees, there they just print it out right then and there and toss in an unofficial copy for free, and the line isn't even as long). And then the long drive up to Davis.
   Interesting notes including passing a truck full of green and white police cars that said "Miami Metro" on them in Los Angeles (I'm assuming they were for a movie set), and watching seven firetrucks go by as I got gas at the beginning of the hills north of Los Angeles and then noticing a lot of smoke rising over one of the ridges accompanied by an orange glow as the sky got darker.
   I stopped in Fresno to get food and stretch my feet, and was able to meet up with my friend Aimee Anderson and hang out with her for half an hour or so while I ate and got some coffee.

   Wednesday I was in Davis trying to get thte disaster I put my room in while packing up back in order. Ate with Chris Joy-Webb at Pita Pit. Almost went to the Grad since my friend Simone Davis had proposed doing that for her birthday, but the line snaked out for like a furlong and was filled with drunk little freshlings.

   And that catches this up. Hopefully I'll stay more caught up now that I'm done working 70 hours a week d=
