Who spilt my beer....

Hey there!

It's Sunday, Im drinking some Earl Grey tea after watching Snatch with my landlords and her daughter Tristan. I had a lazy weekend, which I definitely needed after 2 weeks of constant studying. I only read about 100 pages of theoretical stuff, plus some pages of "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" by Ken Kesey, a great novel that has also been turned in one of the best movies ever...
I think I have read about 1500 pages on the whole since I have arrived here...which is not too bad I guess...

Yesterday I had a pretty lousy day....my mood was bad, I think sometimes one needs to take a little time out and do nothing or waste time in order to be able to get one's focus back....I went to the Stanford Shopping Center which was a bad idea...I found myself staggering around in these horrible department stores such as Macy's and Bloomingdale's, which do not at all sell anything I could like...and they all have the same stuff...

So I went to uni, got some books and went out again to get some groceries at Trader Joe's....There I got caught by Blueberry-Rasberry muffins which looked like this...And I bought them...they are totally vegan and without sugar....and when I came home I had 2 of them....and they were good, but worse than I had expected..ever hoping the best, but expecting the worst usually is my motto, but this time I expected too much....

I watched 2 episodes of My name is Earl and received a mail from Celia, who had invited me to join her to go to San Francisco....she had changed plans and now wanted to go out in Downtown Palo Alto, which was fine with me since I only wanted to get a beer, some conversation and escape from books and computer....
We first went to a English pub called The Rose and the Crown and had 2 Franziskaner beers...Bavarian beer is still the best, in my opinion...Even though I had some good stuff called Sierra Nevada Pale Ale here...I wanna try this again....

Some of Celia's friends were in another club called Melt, which is rather new and for not a place that fits me...and even though they played music I normally couldn't endure, I had fun...basically because I was talking to people all the time....one of the guys there told me he was going to join the Army. I was baffled and asked him why the hell he wanted to do that?? And didn't really get an answer....

Well, we went to yet another bar and talked some more...until like 2 and went home, also because all the pubs and bars close down....

Today, I got up at 10 and spent the whole day either reading, washing my clothes, watching My name is Earl or writing emails....and I had to finish the abstract I have to hand over to my professor tomorrow...I made a time table which says that I want to finish my thesis until Mid September 2009...I hope I can manage this...but I think this is realistic...

I took a gonzoid pic of a huge Hummer limousine that I have seen on campus on Saturday...this weekend was the admission weekend, which means that the people who have been admitted at Stanford University for the next term, had a look at the university...and it looks like some rich kids are coming!!
Im sorry for my disability to take picture, but it is definitely not my kind of thing...but maybe I can invent a new style called Gonzo photography...pictures from weird angles...

So good night and good luck...and leave me some comments...you don't need to sign up, just write it under anonymous...


And now I will go to bed...
