my lil cousin may enjoy touching dirty things while on a hike, but i prefer to touch strange fruit at the berkeley bowl that i've never seen before!

goodbye apt 201

is it the middle of October already?

happy half-birthday to me!!!

have you been wondering...

perhaps some of you have been wondering why the content of my blog over the last week has not really been about me or what i'm up to. it's mostly been random nothings. well, i've decided to make an official announcement today (although most of you already know) that i'm moving this week!

that's right... after over 6 years in San Francisco i am moving to Berkeley. East Bay here i come!

Non-Surfer Word of the day - Monday

i learned a new word today! i might know what it means now, but i am not sure i can pronounce it... or use it properly. :)

Surfer Word of the Day - Sunday

the word of the day today is Aggro. i always thought of it as a short form of the word aggressive, but i really use it to mean "going nuts" or doing something a lot; that meaning of aggresive.

the official definition according to riptionary.com is as follows:

Aggro
Angry. Pissed off. Example: "That dude went aggro when that kook dropped in on him."

i'll be a certified WHAT educator?

this is a very cool organization. know about it. call them. why not, right!?

the Twins made it to the Playoffs so we had to see them in Oakland

on the way in to the Twins game today we were interviewed by both Kron 4 News of the Bay Area and StarTribune.com from Minnesota. we took a lot of "booing" and such from A's fans... but we stuck it out none the less.

here we are in the beginning of the game still looking hopeful before things got too sad. at least we had our homer hankies for comfort. thanks to dave's dad for fedex-ing them to us from minneapolis!

we figured it out!

when we were in berlin we ate the most yummy turkish egg thing called "edje". we decided that we wanted to cook it for our "middle eastern theme" house dinner tomorrow night, but we realized that "edje" is how it's called in germany and we couldn't find a recipe.

after some searching, we figured out that in english it's called eggah and now we're all set with the right ingredients! looks yum, huh!?

unemployed priorities

today i joined a group on facebook called "Torrey is the coolest first name ever!!!"

i think it's time i find a real job already.

ever get startled when someone sneezes near you?

Deep thoughts on Yom Kippur

would it be considered an affliction if you had to wear shoes that didn't match the rest of your high holidays outfit?

Kol Nidre - Quote of the day

"the '50's was when I was in Hebrew School."

Choir Retreat

this weekend was the UCAC Retreat at the Walker Creek Ranch in Petaluma. you may notice there are no pictures of us. well, that's because we looked a little haggard in the morning when i was walking around taking these pics... the cabin and bunk bed shots should explain why. :)

It's not summer anymore!

Happy October 1st and Happy Birthday Linny!!!
