| what a weird day for college football. oi.
and lemme just tell you i'm so stoked the office is online now, although now that jim and pam are together it's just not as interesting anymore.. is it just me? still hilarious though. and Tobey wins the award for saddest man on the face of the planet. someone give him a hug already.
on a related note i have no life. to celebrate this stark realization i ate a bowl of chocolate ice cream with peanut butter mixed in. it was awesome.

| hey folks, i made it through my first quarter of PT school! i think one word sums up my entire first summer at UCSF: unexpected. i didn't expect it to be 50-60 degrees and foggy everyday in the middle of july. i certainly didn't expect to be studying for hours each day for anatomy. and i didn't expect my classmates to be as cool as they are. but they are.. and i did.. and it was.
here's a few random thoughts i've been wanting to bring up but haven't had the chance to talk about since i've been studying so very very hard.
*i think i'm just as addicted to reading youtube video comments as i am to watching the actual videos. people are so angry! but i just can't turn away. it's like watching a car crash.
*something i've noticed: san francisco has no styrofoam. if you get a take home box from a restaurant it will be made of paper.
*i don't get why people think matthew mcconaughey is so handsome. he looks like a toe. a confused toe. he does have a good body though, i'll give him that.
*what is this triangle man business all about?
*it's really easy to lose weight in SF. i have to walk everywhere and there's no place to get fresh meat within 10 blocks from my house. when i run out of meat usually i just go vegetarian for a couple days. it's sad but i've lost 10 pounds since i started school. i'm 163 now suckaz! how do you like that waterallen?! haha.
okeedoke its time to go. let's hang out socal!

"good afternoon, i'm william, the emo PT"
well it's friday the 13th up here in SF.. actually saturday the 14th now, which means tomorrow will be sunday the 15th and mark my first full month here in the yay area. so far it's been a slow, rough transition, but I think I'm finally getting the hang of it up here. I've already taken BART once and the muni bus twice so I'd say I'm a pro with public transportation. I'm still looking around for churches, and have found some prospectives, but I wanna check out a couple more before I decide. I can't wait till I do, though, so I can make some friends outside of school. I'm starting to forget what it's like interacting with people who aren't PTs/future PTs. My class is a fun bunch, as you can see:
We represent the smallest division in the graduate school here.. perhaps in the entire university too. pretty rad huh?
Let's see.. food up here is AWESOME. There are so many good places to eat that I almost just want to get fat and ditch the whole PT thing. Maybe I'll save that for when I retire. I live about 3 minutes from Golden Gate Park so I go there to hang out sometimes and play hackey sack and hug trees and do whatever people in SF usually do. the house i live in is pretty cool. I have my own fireplace to make s'mores, and a bay window so i can drop things on people as they walk by.
anyway here's a little pictorial diary of what it's been like to be me over the past couple months:
I had a bunch of going away shindigs before leaving good ol' socal. my co-workers took me to eat brazilian bbq (green field churrascaria SO GOOD)
Flip mode
look! i have a black friend!!
Classy on the beach.
I am contemplating eating a broccoli. Stef is concerned for the broccoli. If there is one piece of photography/artwork that demonstrates the mantra "a picture is worth 1000 words," it's this one.
stanley and i dipped hot dogs into the veggie dip. you see, by taking out all healthy components to a meal you can truly get the party started.
Cindy and Adrienne came up to visit one weekend. Soo we hung out in the park!
they ditched me at the japanese tea garden cuz i'm from chinar.
i think adrienne has a new love =/
Allright folks, that's all my pictures. To all my friends in LA.. a very belated thank you to all of you guys who wished me well coming up here.. and DON'T FORGET ME! To all my friends in the Bay, COME VISIT ME!! AND BRING SNACKS!!

| Perhaps this door may look familiar to some of you:
yes that is correct, it's the
door to the ultra-exclusive, extremely posh Club 33 in Disneyland's New
Orleans. Ring any bells? No? ok well I just heard about it recently
too, but apparently going there is a big deal. I think Walt Disney
used to keep his kids and extended family there during get-togethers,
and now that he's dead, they converted it into a restaurant! There's
something like an eleven-year waiting list to get into this place, and
now the waiting list is so full that there's a two-year waiting list to
get ON the waiting list. coo-razy!
Anyway, Alex's company somehow was able to get their employees into the restaurant for the day, and the price of the ticket included entrance to both parks. Of course, Me, Alex, and Paul HAD to take the opportunity and go. Translation: BOYS DAY OUT YEEHAW!
here are some highlights from the day:
No trip to Disneyland would be complete without a ride on the Matterhorn. Looks like Alex isn't too thrilled to take the backseat with me though.
hmm on second thought....
THERE'S a happy boy!
hmm I guess we didn't take too many pictures from the park after the Matterhorn incident, so let's get right on to what I'm SURE you're all waiting for... CLUB 33!!
The door finally opens at 6:00 PM.. the doorman looks suspiciously like Dr. George O'Malley
Here's the entryway, complete with old school elevator and Asians.
The view of the dining room from the top of the stairs
Kid in the hall
Delicious, delicious wine.
Alex in front of our fabulous dining table
YES! Another dining room shot!
One of the classier diners stands up for a stretch
nice shirt.
Me in front of the Pirates of the Caribbean map, holding my Club 33 napkins, which I took 5 of.
Me and the dining room piano, which I'm sure Walt Disney played. Maybe.
and of course, how could I not mention the FOOD??
   
So in conclusion, the onion soup and creme brulee were delicious, Alex and I became better friends on the Matterhorn, and khaki pants make me look fat. Or maybe my fat makes me look fat. Who knows?
Love those napkins!

| Check this out:
To:
The Honorable Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
Paris Whitney Hilton is an American celebrity and socialite. She is an
heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune, as well as to the real
estate fortune of her father Richard Hilton. She provides hope for
young people all over the U.S. and the world. She provides beauty and
excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives.
Hilton is notable for her leading roles on the FOX reality series The
Simple Life and in the remake of the Vincent Price horror classic
"House of Wax". In addition to her work as an actress, she has achieved
some recognition as a model, celebrity spokesperson, singer, and
writer.
As most of America now knows, Ms. Hilton was just charged in a Los
Angeles court with DUI and sentenced to 45 days in Century Regional
Detention Facility in California beginning on or before June 5, 2007.
We, the American public who support Paris, are shocked, dismayed and
appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that
Drunk Driving is wrong. We do not support drunk driving or DUI charges.
Paris should have been sober. But she shouldn't go to jail, either.
As depicted on Friday night's episode "Nancy Grace" on Headline News
(May 4, 2007), countless celebrities have been "slapped on the wrist"
for similar incidents recently. Nick Nolte, Mel Gibson, Tracy Morgan,
Wynonna Judd, to name a few, were arrested and never did a day in jail
after their initial arrests for drunk driving /DUI /DWI charges.
Rappers Busta Rhymes and Eve still walk free after both being arrested
for the same charges as Ms. Hilton just this past week. Brandy's
California Highway accident, although no proof of DUI was evidenced in
her accident, resulting in the death of a young wife and mother in
California, yet Brandy walks free as of today, never doing any time and
A WOMAN HAS BEEN KILLED most likely due to her reckless driving!
Yet, Paris Hilton did not hurt, injure, or kill anyone or anything, and yet she must do jail time.
This petition is to ask Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon Paris
Hilton for her mistake. Please allow her to her return to her career
and life. Everyone makes mistakes. She didn't hurt or kill anyone, and
she has learned her lesson. She is sincere, apologetic, and full of
regret for her actions as she explained tearfully to the Judge handling
her case in court yesterday.She is distraught and understandably
afraid.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT to save our Paris from ending up at the Century
Regional Detention Facility! Please sign to tell The Honorable Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger of the State of California, to think about the
welfare of this young woman who has made a mortal error and deserves a
second chance like so many others in our great nation have been served
with after a mistake they have made . If the late Former President
Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late Former
President Richard Nixon after his mistake(s), we undeniably support
Paris Hilton being pardoned for her honest mistake as well, and we hope
and expect The Governor will understand and grant this unusual but
important request in good faith to Ms. Paris Whitney Hilton
I don't understand why Paris' fans are pushing so hard to keep her out of jail. I don't understand why Paris Hilton has fans, actually. She violated her probation a number of times, failed to enroll in an alcohol education program required of her since her sentencing LAST YEAR, and, well.. her entire being symbolizes the deterioration of western society. She clearly believes she's above the law and needs to be dealt with.
Ok and do people really see her as providing "hope for young people all over the U.S. and the world"? Because that's freaking terrible. What kind of hope does she provide? That you can act like a spoiled idiot and make a sex video and become America's Sweetheart?? Please throw her ass in jail and prevent her from making House of Wax 2 or worse, a "Best Of" CD.
WHELP onto other things. Here are some pictures from my trip to SF:
This is the house I will potentially live in when I go to school. The top windows on the left will be MINE!
So that room I might have will be shared with some dental student (I made the connection when I saw all the teeth on his desk). I hope he's not crazy like other dentists i know.
But yeah the room is nice, it's pretty big. My half ALONE will be the same size as the room me and Fu shared back in the 430 kelton days. awww. But then I want my own room so I dunno.
Here is the good Sir BJ Leong with the Evil Prince/Ninja/Viking/Scorpion King William Sam
BJ is winning
Here Sir BJ prepares to battle the Xamantha, Warrior Princess
Xamantha is winning
Amazingly, I think Samantha is more destructive than BJ. She seriously grabs everything within reach and just throws them anywhere. She's broken a number of dishes and also put some dents in BJ's cars. Oh but she's just so darn cute!
It's also funny cuz she's already starting to tag along with everything her big brother does. Whatever toy BJ is playing with, she wants to play with. If BJ starts wrestling with Brian, she jumps in. These kids wear me out. Also it's BJ's birthday tomorrow. HOW IS HE ALREADY FOUR?!
Well that's it for now, folks. I hope you all are having a nice heat wave. ANYONE FOR THE BEACH THIS WEEKEND???!??!?!?!
p.s. BIG SKIT TOMORROW!!!
