Anne took me to San Francisco!!!
I had never been before, besides the quick trip earlier this year to see mc chris in concert. Overwhelmed, that's what I was. I got off the plane and zoom we were off on Anne and Paul's weekend of adventure and romance. First stop the Argent hotel in lovely downtown SF. Pimp class room fo sho! The place was great but we couldn't stay long we had a boat to catch. We headed down to fisherman's wharf where we grabbed some delish fish for lunch, crab cakes for the kid, shrimp sandwich for the lady. It was so fresh it was still swimming. We then took the boat tour of the Bay. Truly awesome going under the Golden Gate Bridge. The boat tour was recorded and played back over bullhorn speakers from circa 1812. It was replete with fake sound effects of sea birds, sea lions and even water and boat sounds. Guess they really wanted to remind you you were on a boat on water. We passed the cool fort under the bridge then we went by "The Rock". Alkatraz is creepy even just sailing by in the sunshine. Once we hit dry land we walked the pier and found the sea lions. We got to hear some good country music and bought a disk to take home. I had no idea there were so many robot people in San Francisco! Every 2 feet there was another street performer spray painted up like a robot. I'm in the wrong business. We went to the Aquarium. I really dug it. They had a moving sidewalk that goes throughout to overhead tank tunnel. Very nice. There was a display of skate eggs in different stages of development that was really cool. This is when I started to get really tired.
See I was still recovering from last week and the convention-but that's another post-anyway, "Whinny Paul" started to creep to the surface so instead of going to the Improv show that Anne had found for us I asked that we just retire to the hotel. In my defense I was going on 4 hours of sleep. For the prosecution, I was a Jackass. That said, It was still an awesome day. I just wish I had not been so exhausted.
I finally felt more like myself on Monday night. Suddenly I found myself in Dave And Busters!!!!
Lord, I have come home. Dave and Busters is an Arcade, plus food and booze. 'Nuf Said. So I was crazy happy. Anne was glowing. It goes without saying that I think she is incredibly beautiful, however that beauty is exponentially increased when I see the woman I love behind the wheel of a Tokyo Cop police chase simulator arcade cabinet. She took me to school on the mean streets of virtual Tokyo! That's right, my girl is a Frag Doll! We started to play some ticket redemption games and there was this one that Anne's friend Sara showed me called FLAMING FINGER! You drag this led light through a maze by pressing on the screen. I won the jackpot! 199 tickets! Big High Five! So we grabbed some swag from the ticket shop, said our goodbyes to Renaldo and the other PGA employees that had gathered for the party, then we were on out way home. I have never felt as blissful as I did on the car ride back to her apartment. That night is sealed in my heart.
I get so little time with Anne and I always want every minute to be perfect. We always try to cram a months worth of couplehood into two days. Anne cooked me breakfast, Pancakes and eggs, yummy, then we cleaned house and walked to the grocery store and back. I made Don's classic spinach avocado dip and it was good eats. Anne made a yellow cake with chocolate icing, my favorite cake of all the cakes, ever. Then we watched a classic flick on AMC "Please Don't Eat The daises" with Doris Day. Finally just relaxing on the couch, together and happy.
I miss you baby
