back to work today after a lovely "sick" day. i think i needed it, i had to catch up on sleep after all the activity of the past few weeks. i hadn't had a chance to sleep in for quite some time. and hey, with all the sick time i have, why the heck not? :)

nothing of too much note this weekend... i took a habitat restoration class through ccsf which ended up not being anything useful. i'd hoped (and the course description said) that it would give me a brush-up on field restoration techniques. it turned out to be a very basic ecology lecture, of which none of the information was new. oh well. bummer too, because liz and marla did half dome this weekend and i could have gone with them! argh! :(

all was not lost, though... kat and i put together a bonfire at pacifica state beach on saturday night, which was well-attended and pretty fun. we had tons of s'mores and fun, and hopefully we'll do it again soon! i like bonfires. kat and rich posted some pics, so check 'em out. marky mark had a little too much of the "special drink" that kat made for me, so he was pretty goofy... he scarfed a chicken-fried steak at IHOP afterwards like no other! it was such a nice night out there, though... not too cold, just perfect for a fall bonfire. yay!

sunday i saw funny girl at amtsj with the 'rents... i don't like barbra streisand much, but it really has to be barbra streisand filling this very barbra-ish role. the lead was decent but she just didn't cut it. it's still fun to go to the theater, but i'm much more excited about seeing thoroughly modern millie, starlight express, and the producers later in the season.

bad weekend for csilla sports: earthquakes lost to DC, 49ers lost to the rams in a heartbreaker, ucla bruins won but in a very boring 6-3 game, and zephyr lost 4-1 (because i wasn't there, of course ;)). ah well. better luck next weekend.
