Yosemite
Our Yosemite trip last weekend was awesome, we went hiking and went up to Glacier Point, which has one of the most amazing views in the world. I said I would blog about it, but I can’t really be bothered now to be honest. If it’s not fresh in my mind, then there’s no point. Here’s a cute picture though.
And one from Glacier Point:
Sometimes I wish I had an SLR to get better photos.
Anyway, what have I been up to since then. Well, this past weekend I was off work on Friday and Saturday. It was unusually warm both days, Friday it was so bad that I had to leave my room…

Yosemite Trip
I went to Yosemite with Cathryn, Ducky and Valerie last weekend. I actually wrote an entire post about it, but for the third time Wordpress has not saved my post after pressing save, so I lost the entire thing. I’ll write about it later.
Anyway, photos are up on Flickr for now, so check them out.

Stupid Subway $5 Footlong Special
A few months ago, Subway introduced a special $5 price for all their footlong subs (except of course those premium subs that are really just a gimmick anyway). I am here to tell you that upon experience of this offer, it simply is not worth the hassle my friends.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been to some decent subways and the experience has been fine. My local Subway, at the Caltrain station, has been my regular lunch stop at work approximately 3 times per week since this offer began.
I blame this mostly on the staff…

One year in San Francisco
So this past week has been my 52nd week in San Francisco, 1 year as of June 6th. And how do I feel? Well I can’t believe it’s been a year, it doesn’t feel that long at all, but at the same time I know this place so well it’s like I’ve known it for years.
And if I’m being honest I’m quite looking forward to getting home. Quite a few of my friends have left to go back home already, so every day it’s getting harder to find people to do things with…

Brad quits Third Day?
So I was in Borders the other day, mainly to enjoy a magazine with a large hot Cocoa Trio (because I really hate Starbucks’ version, although it turns out Starbucks owns Seattle’s Best Coffee in Borders). I enjoy this past-time because the Cocoa Trio is flippin’ expensive, but at least I can read the entire magazine without paying for it. I see this as a good compromise – expensive beverage, cheap education. Anyway, on with the story.
I come across the new edition of Billboard magazine…

Indiana Jones 4: Review
I went last Friday night to see the new Indy flick, and I was obviously very excited about it. I’d heard good reports from some friends, and had just rewatched the original trilogy to get myself in the mood for the ensuing action. The producers kept very hush hush about the movie, and I only saw the trailer once before going to see it.
So I arrived at the movie theater (or ‘cinema’ as most normal people call it) and obviously didn’t get there on time…

California Coast Roadtrip
I apologise that it’s been two weeks since my last post, I partly blame Wordpress for changing their format which caused me to lose some saved drafts which I couldn’t be bothered typing again until now. Another mention must go to my university, as I’ve spent the last 2 weeks doing my placement report which has taken up a lot of time.
So it’s 6.30am and I’m working from home answering the calls. Usually I do it from my bed but today I can’t sleep so I thought I’d make productive use of my time and write something…
