So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | Fake tales of San Francisco. Saturday, April 28, 2007 @ 10:35 am Or, maybe not-so-fake. On Thursday, I got out of work and made a quick trip home to do some "just in case" packing--an extra shirt, extra underwear, extra socks, toothbrush, etc.--just in case I ended up being far too inebriated to make the 45 mile trip back home. After that was done, I had to go to microbiology lab to do some Gram staining. In all honesty, I was only physically present there; my thoughts had started on their own journey to San Francisco. The body had to soon follow in pursuit. Lab got out at about 7:20, so I made it to the city at 8:30. I picked Linh up from the Civic Center BART station and we made our way to the Marina for dinner. We met up with Rory and Kristi and Michael (who stopped by on his way from Seattle to SoCal) and went to dinner at an Italian restaurant. That's when and where the drinking started. After dinner, we went back to Kristi's apartment. On the walk over, there was talk of going out--I knew then that the night would be a shitshow for sure, and I was glad I brought my "just in case" stuff because the next day, I'd have to be at work and wouldn't have time to go home. We left Kristi back at her place (but not before indulging in some Jäger) to study for her o-chem midterm (boo o-chem!). We jumped in a cab and made our way to the first of four stops in North Beach. At Vesuvio, we finished off two pitchers of beer. Had a pint a piece at the San Francisco Brewing Company. Various drinks at Mojito and O'Reilly's. There were copious amounts of consumption and conversation, introspection and laughter. I enjoyed talking about anything at all for hours on end. Too bad last call was at 2:00 because I feel we could have carried on forever. We parted ways soon afterwards. Linh and I took a cab back to Kristi's. Linh didn't look that drunk, but when we got out of the cab, she fell on her ass. Then she threw up at the door and at various times throughout the night. I was up until 4:30 tending to that while Kristi studied for o-chem. I hope we didn't cause too much trouble. I woke up at 8:30 and got ready to take Linh back to the BART station and go to work. Linh said that she had to give a presentation that day and she hadn't prepared because of what we did last night. Ooops. Plus, she had to carry her vomity clothes on the train with her. I can't imagine what that might be like. She had it worse than I did, I guess, even if I did have to handle dangerous chemicals and extremely breakable glass containers all day long. At least I didn't break anything or explode something or otherwise cause damage to property or people. Last night, I passed out on the floor of the family room in front of the television. I woke up again at about 3 in the morning to go to my bed. Regrettable mistake: the floor was so much more comfortable (i.e. cooler) than my room was. Damn electronic equipment, dispersing heat. Doesn't help that my room has southern exposure during the day. I think today, I'll be turning on the AC. Yes. Definitely. 1 Comments. |
