I'm back from my 6- day vacation visiting my sister in good ol' San Fran. It kicked ass. Here's a basic timeline-

Tuesday- Arrived at noon. Immidiatly blew $48 on T-shitrs. Later, blew $150 of my sister's money on Keychains, fans, and Sonata Arctica CDs. Later, had kickass Indian food for dinner. Saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. (Kickass movie)

Wendsday- Went to a cool breakfast place, had an awesome skillet. Went to an aquarium. (Meh. Cool as far as aquariums go) Shook hands with the freakin' Terminator. Later had a picnic. (Good tuna melts)

Thursday- Went to a jelly bean factory. (Kind of fun in a Willy Wonka kind of way, kind of disturbing in a pictures-of-Roland-Reagan-every-10-fee t kind of way) Bought 9lbs of jelly beans. Later, went to a park and owned at Lazer Tag. Later, watched a bunch of college nerds fail at playing softball.

Friday- Went to fucking ALCATRAZ. Got inspired to write a book about a teenager who is falsely convicted of a crime and is sentenced to Alcatraz. Later, went to a Giants game and got kickass seats. Watched Giants get their first No-hitter in 33 years. (Suck it, SD Padres!)

Saturday- Bought The Conduit. (FUCK yes.) Went to a county fair. (Cool rides) Went to a science museum, looked into a high powered telescope at Pluto and Sedna. Waved to aliens.

Sunday- Had breakfast at the same place as Wendsday, but had a cool omelet this time. Left at 11. Arrived back home, wrote NG news post.
