me. life. world.
03/06/2012: I've been getting my hair cut at Sally's in Japantown SF for over 4 years now... but after weeks of contemplating, I finally decided to pick a new place closer to South Bay. The new place was a bit more expensive, but they were pretty good so no complaints. Afterwards, I met with David for a heart/soul/body warming 삼계탕 @ BN Chicken.
03/06/2012: Aaron made his quarterly visit to SF starting today, so I paid a visit to grab a drink and talk life. Spanks for the beer Aarong!
Possibly one of the worst rounds of golf… in a very long time. Putting didn’t work… the driver sent balls slicing into oblivion… lets not even start with the irons… nothing worked… NOTHING. In golf, you sometimes play better than your score shows, and sometimes your score shows better than your play. When you are playing well but the score isn’t cooperating, you feel you are close to putting a good round together. When your score shows better than your play, you feel like you could really up your score with a little more control. Today… I had nothing. I played terrible, felt terrible, and scored terrible. GUH >:-0
02/25/2012: Tilden GC- I still have nightmares of this round.
The weather was beautiful today and I had to take advantage with happy hour outside at Palomino’s. Of course, friends ended up coming late, so I enjoyed the weather & beer by myself for the first 40 minutes… but it gave me time to katalk just about everybody on my friendlist. After a few drinks, we headed over to Ryoko’s Japanese where we met our awesome server, Alyssa. We then walked over to Swig and ended the night there.
Jen’s birthday party last week was… well, very not well publicized and as a result, Erin missed it. Or that’s her story at least… regardless, to make up for it, she invited Jen down to the South Bay, Menlo Park to be exact, for dinner. Will-o & Adri also came down to make it five, and we went to a French restaurant called the Left Bank in Menlo Park. It was my first time at downtown Menlo Park, and I must say, it was quite nice; posh. We then headed over to downtown Palo Alto for post dinner hookah.
02/20/12: Jen's make-up birthday dinner @ The Left Bank in Menlo Park. We ordered escargot and calamari for appetizers.
02/20/2012: The Left Bank @ Menlo Park.
02/20/2012: Hookah @ Hookah Nites Lounge in downtown Palo Alto. The mango fruit hookah actually had a real mango holding the tabacco, unique!
02/18/2012: Soju must stop. @ Nan w/ the Soul Krush crew.
02/17/2012; Sunnyvale hangout @ Fibbar MaGees! So much for staying in on Friday nights w/ Will & Erin. I also learned to take a grenade shot... so much for just a beer.
wedinr got back on schedule this week with dinner at Citizen’s Band in the SOMA. Since it was close to Jen’s birthday, we made it a pseudo birthday dinner, and Jen was thoughtful enough to bring cupcakes (like in elementary school). We started off at Citizen’s Band (weirdest bathroom), then moved to City Beer Store, and then once more to Bloodhound. Nice to know everything is nearby… except home. Happy Birthday Jen!
02/15/2012: We realized we can never eat fried chicken without thinking of Doug... so we made sure he knew we were eating it without him. The mac & cheese with the onion rings were YUM.
02/15/2012: Birthday cupcakes! Thank you Jen!!
02/15/2012: Post dinner drinks @ City Beer Store. Beer, beer, and more beer!
02/15/2012: @Bloodhound after City Beer Store kicked us out at 10PM. What's in hot buttered rum? Well, rum, butter, spices, and delicious... which led to this video:
02/07/2012: Finally got to catch up with my fellow SF Michigan Alumni Board Member, Keith. Got some club shenanigans out of the way and had a good talk about life @The Old Pro in Palo Alto! Hang in there buddy!
02/04/2012: It's always a challenge waking up early on a Saturday morning, but it's not so bad when the reason is golf. Yes, I use four sticks, the golf bag & the mirror... sometimes there is also a chair involved...
After my golf lesson, I headed over the San Mateo Bridge to play a mini golf tournament with Joe & friends at Crystal Springs GC. We made four teams of twosome, paired by handicap. The final score resulted in a two-way tie after 18 holes, and the ranger was nice enough to let us play #1 again as a sudden death play-off. Team Joe & Daniel basically crushed the other team in the playoff- we didn’t need to finish the hole, but it would have been something close to +2 vs. +10. Special thanks to Joe for setting everything up!
02/04/2012: I've never crossed the San Mateo Bridge to come into the Peninsula! It was, for whatever reason, somewhat exciting.
02/04/2012: Crystal Springs GC. Beautiful!
02/04/2012: Go Blue! Go Guinness! Go Heineken!
02/04/2012: Super nice ranger took pictures for us on different holes from different angles! Joe, Me, Janet, Eli.
02/04/2012: After golf dinner @ Mingalaba in downtown Burlingame. The restaurant had a long line, but it was well worth it. They were also nice enough to leave hot tea outside for people waiting!
02/04/2012: Fantastic dinner, especially since it came from the winners pot!
02/02/2012: Everything tastes better after a long hard workout! Dinner with the twinsies after introducing Lauren to the world of spinning!
