Day 28, 29: Toy Story 3 & The Golden Gate Bridge

Golden Gate, originally uploaded by edmarchedrick.

Yesterday, I went to see Toy Story 3 at the Cinemark Cinema theater in Mountain View. Saw the Google campuses on the way. Those buildings are pretty huge. I also saw giant cupcakes and the giant Android mascot on one of the lawns. I would like a photo there. One day...

Toy Story 3 is a wonderful movie. If I had feelings, I would've cried. Man, so good. The only thing is that I'm more of a character study kind of guy, so I could've done without all the rising conflict, plot turns, resolution, deus ex machina elements.


TODAY at work: My boss David asked if I wanted to go up to the city to attend a meeting at the agency we're using for a new marketing campaign we're launching. Of course, I SAID YES. I couldn't pass that up. I planned to go to Union Square while I was up there and then take the train back down, but my co-worker Terry also drove up for the meeting. She lives down in South Bay so she had to drive down and offered to give me a ride back.

We got dinner first and I mentioned that I hadn't gone to see the Golden Gate Bridge yet, so she took me! We went to the Vista Point scenic lookout. Such a tourist spot. But it's gorgeous. Like, it's one of those things where photos/pictures do no justice to the actual location. It was also freezing there. AH, so so cold.

Then we drove through the little town of Sausalito. God, it would be wonderful to live in a place like that.

Anyways, afterward, we drove back South, but on the way, we stopped by this other scenic lookout called... Vista Point. It's off 280 and overlooks the Crystal Springs Reservoir. But man, I did not like it at all. There were about 7 cars parked there. And in all 7 cars were men by themselves sitting at the drivers seat of their own respective cars. Seven men, seven cars. It was the creepiest thing. Like I have no idea what these guys were doing there. I was so uncomfortable.

Now my stomach is retaliating from the dinner I had eaten. We ate a Chinese restaurant and I got kung pao shrimp - "the spiciest you can make it." Burning from the inside out!
