monday monday

as some of you know, i'm on a semi-vacation right now. it's been pretty fun, and makes me wish i could do this a little more often. anyway, i ran some errands today, including giving blood and getting the car washed.

my blood pressure was 126/74, with a pulse of 64. i was pretty happy with that. it took me about 8 minutes to pump out my blood. at some points, i've had rather high blood pressure, and it runs in the family so i'm always a little bit concerned about it. of course, not really all that concerned that i make radical lifestyle changes to work on it, but still.

as usual, i'm sitting in my monday night class where i'm a t.a. this instructor actually intends to use us a little more than the previous ones, so that's cool. i won't just be sitting here. but right now i am.

the u.s. is playing canada in the gold cup semi's on thursday. if i read the schedule right, the game is @ 6. anyone interested in watching it with me in spanish?

also, the galaxy are signing players left and right. by the time beckham arrives (about a month - congrats on that spanish title becks), the galaxy will have a very interesting international roster. i wonder if i can sneak down to carson for a match?

got my contracts for next semester @ the university. two weekend courses and one 6 week course on tuesdays in sept. this will be good, although one of the weekend course screwed up an initial plan for a vegas trip. it just pushed it back a week now. i'm meeting up w/tim in vegas for his 30th b-day, and it looks like it'll be the 2nd weekend in sept, if you're interested in coming.

still have another week off before i start again @ the junior college. teaching english. and next week heather is off work. so, i'm really wanting to day trip during the week up to sf to go see picasso. damn, just checked the moma website. the picasso exhibit ended on may 28. damn. damn. we were in sf and we going there, i could literally see the museum and got lazy, decided i didn't feel like going then, and we walked back to the hotel. and now i missed it. well, maybe i'll go and see the matisse exhibit they have now. shoot.

enough for now.

plans

so, this weekend we're hoping to do some cool stuff. first, we're going to a wedding in sf. heather's cousin from norway is getting married. well, she already got married over there, but is having a ceremony for family, friends, whoever out here. so, we're doing that on friday.

then, we're staying the night at this hotel. got a good deal through hotwire.com, think it's rated like 4.5 stars out of 5. when we head up that ways we like to stay @ hotels like that. maybe it makes up for all the places we've stayed in vegas.

on saturday, it looks like we'll try and get up sorta early (well, for a saturday) and hit up the sf zoo. we really dig going to zoos, and sf zoo is actually one of our favs.

after the zoo, i think we'll try and hit the moma. they have a picasso show going (one of my favs), and i always love the chance to hit up museums in big cities. fresno actually gets pretty cool art shows sometimes, but usually not quite like sf.

then, we'll head back to fresno. i imagine we'll be home around 8:30 or 9, and we'll be ready to hang out with you all.
