Friday I just wanted to hang out at home and watch Dune, so that's what I did. What a great book, yet horrible movie. the movie is pretty much what would happen if Peter Jackson made LoTR one 2 hour movie. There was no way to explain it to anyone who hasn't read the book, and even though I had just read it, I had a hard time figuring out what was going on myself. Damn you David Lynch! Good thing he didn't keep directing Sci-Fi movies after that box office bomb...Or maybe he did (gotta check the IMDB).

Saturday I met up with Suresh at the Cornerstone for breakfast since he had never been there before in the 3 years he's lived here. I'd die of a heart attack if I went there more than once a month, but I love that place. Best veggie potato platter in town!

Later on I headed out to Virgin Megastore for the 50% off everything/going out of business sale (finally!). Funny thing about that: even though everything was half off, you couldn't find a CD or LP for less than 10 dollars, and that's including the discount! I found the recent Belle and Sebastian compilation marked at 22 dollars, and everywhere else it goes around 16 or so. The saddest thing I saw was an almost empty cd rack with a ton of copies of that newer Bees album ("A band of bees" here in the US). I found a !!! LP, but even it was still too much for a cheapo like me. Good riddance.

Later that day, I went to shoot some hoops at the secret basketball court with bros (somewhere along T street, not in mid-town), drank some Hoegaardens at Bon Lair, ate some dinner at Caballo Blanco, then saw "The 40 year old Virgin". Funny movie and highly recommended.

I headed out to SF Sunday. Sometimes when I go to the city, I wish I could just live there. The weather is so great, I love all the neighborhoods and parks, just good vibes all around. We went to Amoeba, Atlas cafe, Doloris park and then home. Somehow normal people live there. Not everyone in SF is rich, so it is feasible for the common man to survive in San Francisco. I gotta figure out a way.
