the tigers are visiting the A’s this week and i thought it would be a good opportunity (although they are coming again later in september) to watch them play.  it was my first time at the coliseum, and the rumors about how crappy and empty the stadium is… they were all true.  on second thought… the stadium wasn’t that bad, but the crowd was pretty weak even for a tuesday night.  regardless, i didn’t mind at all as i got one of the best seats ever… and the tigers won!

i also made beef katsu for lunch for the first time… it turned out well, muhahahaha.

coworker: “oh you packed lunch?”

looks at my lunch

c: “oh no, you bought lunch”

me: biggest smirk ever

the oakland coliseum… as you can see, it’s empty

yes, he threw 103mph multiple times.  i’ll never be this close to another 100+ pitcher

a little cold at the end, but overall beautiful night in norcal

when aaron makes his biweekly trip to SF we go out and order an overwhelming amount of food.  this week was no different and we made our way to limon rotisserie.  this peruvian chicken place had great chicken (although now that i think about it i don’t remember anything special about it…), and unique sides.  in fact, the sides are probably what makes this place good, and is probably why it’s so expensive relative to the chicken.

we ordered 2 chickens and a bunch of small sides and shared.  now i eat slow  and i can’t eat much at one sitting (i.e., i eat half of my lunch during lunch time and the other half around 4pm).  aaron eats fast, and he eats a lot per sitting.  hence when we share food, it’s never a fair deal.  so this time around i just drank a lot of sangria to make up for my lack of chicken consumption.  i’m so smart…

aaron wants big eyes

charlie got rejected by will for a picture

my eyes are swollen from too much sangria

btw… it’s gay week in SF.  although SF is gay week every week…

i’m back in ann arbor, again!  this time for an alumni leadership conference, where i’ll get the in’s and out’s of the best practices at other alumni clubs around the US.  my good friend hak picked me up from the airport, and first order of business was sleep.  after i woke up though, second order was ajishin!

ah~ good old dtw!

ugh… i don’t understand, why are you so good?  definitely brings back memories of high school days with the fobs… especially the summer of 2001!

in previous visits to AA, i’ve always (with the exception of the one time i stayed with aaron at his hotel) stayed at a friend’s apartment.  but this time the conference gave me a dorm room at Mosher Jordan (mojo for short) to spend the weekend.  at first i was a bit hesitant and thought about just staying at my friend’s apt again, but soon realized it would be fun to stay in a dorm again.

these dorms are not the same dorms that i had almost a decade ago (dang, a DECADE ago?!).  they have been fully upgraded with central air, wood flooring, brand new desks/beds/dressers, and wireless internet throughout.  the cafeteria has also been fully upgraded with a brand new dining hall to support all the dorms in the hill area.

no joking around here.  stockwell is currently being renovated, and north quad will be completed in a few months.  upperclassmen are moving back into the dorms because it’s nicer than most apt’s in aa now.

random pictures of the campus on a beautiful day… a little humid actually, but still nice…

mmm~ jimmy johns so good, esp at 3 in the morning…

i wonder if there will ever be a day i visit aa without visiting no thai?

sweet beer pong table… because it has the M on it, yes.

kpcmd!

where i learned english! and the bible… and taught korean, and the bible… wow, lots of history here.

the sweet gym.  almost missed my flight playing here till the very last second.  i got on the plane all sweaty and nasty… it was awesome.

i knew i’d be out walking an 18 in no time… didn’t realize it would be the very next day.  finally got my resident card, and finally got to play harding park gc.  it felt so refreshing to be outside with nature, walking around in the sun (i like the sun, i just don’t like to get tan), and getting some exercise.  i wasn’t expecting a good round… and it wasn’t a good round, but hopefully i got some rust off and will be ready for the next 18.

tiger woods 2005 champion.  pretttty cool~ we’re walking on the same grass that tiger woods walked!  although he probably walked in a much straighter line than we did…

one of the more interesting sites from a golf course… people parachuting down…

june 13, 2009

i went to the golf range for the first time in what feels like years today.  it felt really good to be out and hitting again, regardless of how poorly i was hitting the ball.  i feel like i’m feeling the itch to play some more now, and i shall be out and walking 18 holes in no time!

afterward the golf session, we stopped by for some froyo and grocery shopping, whicn in turn became an impromptu dinner session at my place.  much props to lisa the cook!!  the dinner was awesome, and now know how to make katsu as well :)

to celebrate youngeun’s, or shall i say “dr. kim’s graduation from dental school, we went out to one market and took advantage of their dine about town deal.  this was my second stint with dine about town (ruth’s chris being the first), and like the first time it did not disappoint.

afterwards we headed over the clift’s redwood room, and this place was awesome! (with the exception of the very much overpriced, albeit strong, drinks).  the coolest thing about this lounge were the “pictures” on the walls that weren’t pictures afterall.

some food samplings

the picture that’s not a picture

whatever was there, i missed it

strongest martini ever… almost died.
