31th of March
Today we had weeklies, I hadn't done anything particularly difficult, but again it was nice seeing the people working there and talking a bit. I got a ride home with the layout-guy, nothing exciting today.
Day 57
30th of March
Once again, behind Schedule, today was wednesday so fortunately not too much excitement going on, I got to work on time and all that stuff, I got a ride to the ferry with a girl from work called Becky, one of the chore artists it was nice to talk to her, since I haven't been talking with enough of the people who work there. As I wrote yesterday I was going to meet up with bo, but we didn't go to a park to play guitar, instead we just sat around in the house for a while and did all the stuff we usually do AND did try to write a song, but we failed because we could really agree on anything, and then around 10 I went home and went to bed.

Day 56
29th of March
Okay, I got up a little late, but I made it to the ferry, the weather was nice again today so the walk to work was pretty nice, sheesh I am just not in a writing mood today, okay I'll make it fast, and head to bed, I got to work and it went pretty much like everyother day, work and online dating.
So I caught a ride home with the layout-guy, and then I went for a burger, mostly because the italian restaurant I had set my eyes on was completely full, another time then.. I went home and ate my burger while I did some more online dating. And then I went to bed... Which means now I am going to bed.. Maybe tomorrow will bring more interesting stuff to write about, I agreed to meet up with bo, and he is kinda hooked on going outside some-place and play the guitar just to see if something interesting happens, if it does I'll be sure to write about it! Good night!

Day 55
28th of March
Today started out nicely, the weather was really good, and on my way to work I got picked up by one of the contractors working there at the moment, and he saved me 20 minutes of my day, but then I got inside turned on my computer and, there was no internet, it is amazing how much you notice that the internet is missing. Everybody was kind of restless, around 1 PM we went to taco bell/KFC's, me and three of the contractors.
When we got back the net was still not working, but it came back a little later. I got a ride to the ferry and wanted to meet up with bo, but he had a headache, that poor guy! So I went all the way home and worked on this piratebabe: http://masquito.dk/images/PirateChickColour.jpg
Now I am heading to bed, it is already 30 minutes past bedtime! Goodnight folks!

Day 54
27th of March
Today I got up, spent some time with the dating-sites and got myself ready to leave, I had agreed with bo that we should meet up and go for a walk today, I got down to his place around 12 and we went to twin peaks with the belgian girl and the french guy from last sunday, when we got up there it was windy and raining a bit, so we didn't stay for too long, I got back to my own place, because I live quite close to the twin peaks.
I wrote a little with the girl from the dating sites again and then I took a shower and went down to eat dinner at bo's place because all the people there were having a dinner together and apparently they like me enough to invite me.
We had pie which was good, then bo and I went to starbucks once again and got a cup of coffee and just hung out speaking danish and being rude without people noticing.. Because we were talking danish.. We are such bad people! Anyway a beggar came in and tried to make a trade for my hat, but I didn't want to trade, I am boring in that way.
We went back and got some dessert, pie, it was really sweet! I decided to head home and so I did and now I am going to bed.. OH! And two people today have complimented me on my pants! People usually only does so once every other week! So today was a good day. Gooooood Night.

Day 53
26th of March
Okay today was pretty relaxing, I did almost nothing, I went out once to go to walgreen's to get me some nuts, mmm pistachios!
Anyhow, I mostly sat around writing with people from back home and with a girl from one of the dating-sites, and eating pistachios. In the afternoon Artemis and her boyfriend came home to look for mice, oh yes I have completely forgot to wrtie that we've had mice, they were small and kind of cute, but mice are mice and mice are generally not wanted in peoples houses.. But they are as good as gone by now we think, we have some electronic mouse scarers or something that sounds like something mice don't like which keeps them away.. I mean keeps them at the neighbours house instead.
They invited me upstairs to Artemis mother because they were having a family dinner, I was just about to finish a message for the girl I was writing with so I finished it and went upstairs to join them, it was really nice they were very open towards me and the food was good so I can't complain.
I went down to my computer again and sat around for a while before I went early to bed.

Day 52
25th of March
Okay it's gonna be short I am getting behind schedule again, today was a little better, at least with the weather, I was able to walk to work without getting too wet, there was a single shower, but it was very short and not that severe.
After work, I took the ferry from larkspur, I met up with bo and we went to a diner to get some dinner, and under-tipped severely, which means we shouldn't be going there again if we know what is good for the food we eat.. Anyhow, after the dinner we went to a starbucks coffee and sat around talking for some time as we like doing.
We went back to bo's place sat around and played guitar for a bit, we considered going to the bar with live music on the balcony, but we decided to just hang around and chill. I went home after a while and went to sleep.

Day 51
24th of March
Okay, so I got up in the morning a little too late so I hurried out, but it was raining pretty hard and my umbrella kept catching the wind, which sucked, I got on the muni and thought I was making good time, meanwhile I was writing pete about whether or not one of the famous larkspur pickups seemed to be probable, which he thought it was, I didn't get to the ferry in time because the stupid muni thinks it is clever to stop all of the sudden and just sit still for a minute, seemingly for no other reason that I shouldn't be able to get to work on time.
Anywho, about now the people working at the ferry have seen me so many times one of them is beginning to start conversations with me, I sat drawing a pirate babe, which is something I do every so often, and ate an apple and drank some coffee.
The weather was pretty rough, but I enjoy being on the sea when the ferry is tipping and the waves come crashing into the hull with loud thuds and bangs.
I got to the pickup spot and waited for 5-10 minutes, got picked up and got dropped of at work, nice! So today we had weeklies, which is a session where the animators can critique each others works, and while people mainly have been asking me if they were mean for some reason I quite enjoyed it, even though I think they went easy on me, this was the first time I met most of the people in the room. But anyway, work got done, and at the same time I wrote a lot with a girl, and as always I will spare the details.
I got a ride home with the layout-guy once again, tomorrow I'll give him some gas money, since I have been leeching off of him quite a lot! I got a cheese burger for dinner, and though it was really good I still feel disgusting for eating it, honestly I don't know what is going on, but I'm eating so little, and mostly healthy stuff like fruit, and when I indulge myself I feel icky afterwards... Am I.. becoming healthy? I hope not! That would be horrible.. Oh! And also I have begun seriously cutting down on sugar, even though I still use artificial sweeteners, but at least I am steering as clear as possible from diabetes!
Ach, okay, good night, more adventures await tomorrow... Sigh, I hope he rain will have stopped by then.. At least rain is nice when you want too sleep.

Day 49
22th of March
I got up in pretty good time, but I only JUST made it to the ferry, no time for coffee, and yes I am skipping the muni trip because you've read it a thousand times! I walked to work and realized on the way that I had $2 left in my wallet, I went to the food court but they had no ATM so I had to use my credit card. Hmpf!
Anyway I got to work and today they actually had something for me to do! Which was awesome! Not only one, but FOUR animations! I got the animations blocked out pretty good by the end of the day, even tough especially one of them gave me some trouble, I got a ride to the ferry by the woman I am sitting next to who is responsible for all the language related stuff, translations and so on, and I went to an ATM, I decided to visit bo, but my phone was out of power so I couldn't call him and warn him about my visiting him, I went by subway because it is easy less unhealthy food and ate at bo's place, we sat and played the guitar for a bit then decided to find some coffee, which we failed utterly at, all the coffee shops were closed at 8 PM, we even went to the cheese cake factory, but it seemed like the queue was too long, and the coffee was $5 a cup so we decided to forget about it. I did get some toothpaste though.
I went down to the muni said goodbye to bo and went home, now I am writing my journal, not diary anymore, diaries are apparently for girls.. Because I haven't been able to make my tablet work, I'll try the new drivers though, good night, and good morning to you guys in denmark.

Day 47
20th of March
So bo and I had talked about walking today, if the weather was nice enough, in the morning it seemed rather bleak but as I made my way towards my tattoo-consultation it began looking quite nice, I made an appointment the 2nd of april, which I am looking forward to. I made my way down town, I tried calling bo but failed to reach him a couple of times and went to union square to look at clothes, when finally bo called me, the reception is not that good here, AT&T is not the BEST tele company over here.
Okay so I went to bo's place and we decided to go for that walk, which turned out to be around 15 km. A belgian girl, and a french guy from the house decided to join us, again we asked the french new girl to join us, again with the purest intentions imaginable. But she didn't feel like walking for 4-5 hours for some strange reason. The four of us began making our way toward the presidio park and the west coast of San Francisco. We had to climb some hills, and it was pretty clear that the belgian girl was not really used to walk so far, but we made it to the presidio park and tried to make our way to the opposite site to the ocean, on the way we stopped at a golf club to see if we could get some food, but the cafe was closed, so we went on to the ocean.
Skipping all the walking we came to the ocean and saw the old defence fortifications, which were pretty nice to walk around around, we walked up to the golden gate bridge, we wanted to get something to drink so we went to the kiosk, but it was closed. We went beneath the bridge and made our way to crissy fields, we knew there was a kiosk/cafe there so we went to that, but again it was closed... Everything was just closed, the french guy and the belgian girl decided to take the bus home, so bo and I made our way to the fisherman's wharf to find a place to eat, we ended up at pier 39 at a place called luigi's, we had a buffet, it wasn't brilliant, but they had really good service and free refills, and the lemonade I got only costed me about $2.50, so free refills are pretty good, when we got the bill we saw for the first time a bill that told us how much to tip.. Yes we had indeed entered the touristy part of san francisco.
We made our way home to bo's place and sat around playing the guitar and drinking tea and eating muffins, gaining all the weight we had just lost, then I went home and now I am going to bed.

Day 46
19th of March
So I slept at bo's place which meant I had to sneak out without anyone noticing, we planned it out like this, bo would go downstairs and check the situation and look in his kitchen shelf and notice he had no fruit, then he would go up stairs to me to report; The girl who is supposed to make sure they follow the rules were sitting in the room next to the entrance looking at her computer with her headset on. We decided to try and we went down the stairs making sure that we stepped at the same time so we wouldn't make her suspicious, then bo opened both doors and I rushed out. We were both really excited that we had succeeded and after having gotten far enough away we began laughing.
We went by a fruit store and bought some fruit and went back, this time when we came back bo said; “look who I found”, and apparently she hadn't noticed our stunt, it was so much fun! I had breakfast at bo's place and after hanging out for a while, and after bo skyping with his girlfriend, I had to go to Office Depot and to the tattoo-parlour to get an appointment. On the way we stopped for coffee and just as we came out of the café some guys from double fine called bo and asked if he was up to some jamming, so we split and I got a new adapter at office depot, and went to the muni to get to the tattoo-parlour, I looked through the portfolios of the tattoo artists, but the guy I really wanted was booked, so I found a guy called Nick Rodin and made an appointment to meet up with him sunday to talk about what I wanted to get done.
I went home, hung out for a while and wrote with girls, until the evening I took a shower and got down to meet up with bo and we went on a bar, we asked the new french girl if she wanted to come, of course with the purest of intentions, and not because bo and I for some reason unanimously decided I should try to hook up with her, which means it wont happen. But she had a headache (see?). We went out to the bar we were on yesterday and once again we had a good time, this time around I didn't stick around too long though as I needed to get home to sleep in my own bed, so I went to the muni and got home and to bed.

Day 45
18th of March
Friday, Okay today Sucked so bad I don't even know where to start, but I got up too late and I missed the ferry, it was raining a little bit, but as soon as I got on the ferry it really became bad, so I walked in hard rain to work, and I have used the expression swam to work because it was that bad, half way there I begin noticing hives on my hands and that I am itching all over, I panic for a while thinking it is a poisonous spider bite, I have read that black widows aren't that uncommon in california and though they are quite timid and will hide at any sign of humans I thiught I might have been bitten by one of them, until I realized I had been out of the house for two hours and I didn't feel ill, dizzy or anything else indicating I was about to die, so I calmed myself down and went the rest of the way to work, completely soaked, itchy all over and feeling quite bad about myself.
I didn't have much work today so I wrote a lot with the girl I wrote with yesterday, We are quite hitting it of in my opinion. But I have also begun modelling myself once again in 3D, for the exercise and for whenever I don't really have a lot to do.
I got a ride home with the layout-guy who is now the last standing layout-guy since the layout-girl was laid off, I made some dinner and got a hold of Bo, we met up at his place, and I met a new resident, a french girl who was falling asleep in the couch which was really cute. Bo and I went to a bar where they played some really nice music with accordions, cello and all the good kind of instruments, I got a couple of beers and bo tried their non-alcoholic drinks, we found out that I was too late to catch the metro home and decided that I could go sleep at bo's place, since he had a bunk bed in his room and no room mate, even though I weren't really allowed to sleep there. We are such rebels!
And oh yeah, before I left home my adapter blew up... Today sucked...

And oh yeah, before I left home my adapter blew up... Today sucked...
Day 44
17th of March
So nope I am still sick, which sucks.. But I got up and got to the ferry, but just a little too late so I wrote Pete and asked whether he was able to pick me up in larkspur which he could, I got to work there wasn't much to do so I ended up spending a lot of time writing with another girl from the dating-site, again I feel obligated not to disclose too much about other people like that, so I'll say she was nice, and seems pretty darn cool.
I caught a ride to the ferry with pete, after which I went out in the town to find myself a new hat, I got the hat and made my way home to get myself ready for sct. Patrick's day, I took a shower and put on all the green I could muster and went down town and into the first interesting bar I came across, I ordered a green budweiser as they had a special on that today, and I spoke with a couple of law students a bit, until I decided to call bo, I had tried calling bo earlier, but I knew he was jamming with people from double fine so I hadn't been able to get a hold of him, but this time I did and we met up shortly and walked for a bit until I went home.

Day 43
16th of March
Today I got up and felt pretty good, yesterday was a good day and maybe this day would be to, the trained was more crammed but I got to the ferry pretty early, I got my coffee took the ferry and walked to work without anything remarkable happening to me, so I thought it might just be an ordinary day after all.
I got to work and while I cannot tell you what I did for work I can tell you what I did for not work, because the poor, poor girl I had written yesterday had written me back, We wrote back and forth for a while and she seems nice, I don't feel like divulging too much information, mostly because this blog is about me, and some people don't appreciate old creepy pig-men writing too much about them in their perverted online blog, so you'll just have to live with she was nice, and I did enjoy writing with her.
Also a girl wrote me on the dating site, but I can only read what she wrote if I pay 19 kr. And I can't pay those 19 kr. While I am in the states, which is a shame because though I do not see myself having the same political opinions as her I do not see a problem with it, and besides that she looked pretty cool.
Woah this dating thing turned out to be a good pagefiller in this blog!
Anyway, I caught a ride home with pete, it was nice talking with him again it had been a while and pete is a cool guy. I got home made sausages and wrote a short story, I unfortunately can not disclose in this forum and I may even refuse to tell it if you ask me about it, or maybe I won't, who knows.
Artemis came home we watched faceoff a reality series competition about guys making FX masks and makeup for film and stuff, which is really cool, and afterwards she helped me to take a look at a couple of tattoo parlours in SF, I am thinking I will just take my sketches and my reference and ask them to help me make the design.
But Now I will head of to bed, and in my bed I will draw for a while and then I will sleep and then I will dream about not being sick, and then I will wake up and not be sick! Awesome!

Day 42
15th of March
YEAH! Today was a great day, sweet sweetness caressing my sugar-coated gummi-heart! But I'll get to that.
My day started of by me getting up on time feeling very much like staying in bed, getting my clothes on and brushing my teeth while my cellphone recharged a took on a coat grabbed a couple of apples for breakfast got my phone and went out the door, when I got to the metro it was not crowded, it was actually perfect, I had to stand up one station and then I could sit down the rest of the way all the seats were filled and only a few people stood up, and I like being around people and watching people so I did, until I got to the embarcadero, I got of the metro-line and went up into the foggy moist air, and went onwards to the ferry I washed my hands in the public rest rooms because I had coughed a bit on the metro and wanted to try and keep my hands as sanitary as possible so I wouldn't get anyone else sick.
I bough a cup of coffee and got it almost before I could pay, then I sat down and watched the ferry approach the harbour, when it came close I went out to the entrance so I could avoid the massive amount of people coming from larkspur every morning.
When all the people had got off the ferry I went onboard and for the first time in a while I got to sit in the seat I have chosen as being my seat, the last two or three times I took this ferry some annoying goth girl kept stealing it from me, how dare she!?
But this was great! My seat was mine again, can anybody spell O.C.D.?.. Anyway, I think I saw some animal swim away from the ship but it was just out of the corner of my eye and when I tunred my head only the ripples in the water remained, it was probably just a seal, but lets play pretend that it was a great white shark! I ate my apples, drank my coffee and all too soon we arrived in larkspur, I walked the 50 minute walk to work, on the way I stopped in the food center to buy me some bread and pastrami for lunch.
As always I won't comment on work, which reminds me, I have to write a paper about my internship, but I don't know anything else about that, hmm.. I'll write someone tomorrow. But! What I CAN say is that I had a few breaks from work and one of the two (yes two), dating-sites paid off! A girl had written me because she found my remarks on the sites forum interesting, and because anyone who looked at least slightly like johnny depp deserved to be written to. Which made me happy, though I wasn't really interested in her partly because she was only nineteen.
I caught a ride home with one of the layout guys AGAIN, that poor guy must be so tired of me by now. But I have to get home somehow! When I got home I got another hit on the other dating site, which means she must have been up at around 3 pm, but anyhow that dating-site wouldn't tell me who unless I pay a small fee, but I had noticed who visited my profile just before I left work, and I kinda figured it must have been her, the mail I got from the datig site told me she was nineteen from copenhagen, and the girl who visited my page was, nineteen and from albertslund, so there was a pretty good chance, but again nineteen is five years younger than me, and I haven't even shaven my beard on any of the photos!?
But Bo wrote and I went downtown to meet up with him we went to walgreen's and bought candy, and then walked to union square where some big private party was taking place we began imagining who could afford to rent union square for a party, and it began to rain more and more heavily so we went home to bo's place, bo played a song he had written about a guy who was eight bull's(or something) strong, but only four straws long, and how his unhappy search for a house ends with him hurling himself too far away..
Then I went to montgomery station to get home, I waited around for a bit before the right metrotrain came, a couple of girls were going the same way as me, one of them had really nice features and a beautiful dark hair, I couldn't help but stare a little bit, I hope she took as a compliment instead of being disgusted and stuff.. But I got home and got online, I decided to be a dirty old bastard and contact the poor, poor girl who may or may not have pressed a button on a dating site that said; “interested”, even though she is only nineteen, and even though I had mostly expected the dating-site to lead to hilarious stories of complete and utter fail on my part which I could scribe in this the most sacred of all artefacts, my diary about san francisco, stories that would lead to many laughs and good times when read by the people.. Ahem, also I got online to write this tale of greatness, of bravery and of sweet, sweet stupidity!
Oh, and yes it was a good day because girls showed some kind of interest in me... That sounds sad..

Day 41
14th of March
So when I woke around 7 this morning I was pretty sick again, which sucked because I thought I was getting better, I went back to sleep and slept until 11 am, when I got up I realized that maybe I was getting more sick because I didn't eat anything yesterday, so I decided to change that today.
I sat around at my computer until 1 pm and then took a shower got some clean clothes and cut my nails and drank the rest of my tea before heading out, by then it was 3 pm.
I went to the haight and got a burger, as my previous encounters with american burgers this was a success. I went back home checked my dating profile, and surfed on the computer whilst drinking tea.. Wow being sick is really boring...

13th of March
okay wow, nothing happened today I ate an apple and two eggs, drank several liters of tea and sat in a chair playing with my new tablet and watching tv.
Nothing exciting.. Oh! I checked my dating profile... nothing interesting on that front either actually... Most of the girls there are just too pop to rock :P

Day 39
12th of March
So today people was celebrating sct. patrick's day even if it is still 5 days off.
I got up and out of bed rather late, I took the muni to van ness station and walked to the mission, I went for a shop we had been in earlier with a lot of neat clothes, I could spend a fortune in there if I was given the chance.
I wanted to buy a green bowler, but they only had small and I needed a large, I asked if they had any larger bowlers, or derbies as they are called over here, but they only had black and baby blue in large, and I can't rock a babyblue bowler.
Then I went back towards van ness to meet bo, we met up at 16th and mission and went for creppes at the place michelle had taken us previously. We sat there and agreed to meet up later since I wanted to buy a tablet and bo wanted to go to the golden gate park, I went to an office depot, but they didn't have wacom tablets in the store, the the clerk told me I could go out on the street take the first left, then the first left and then the first left and I would be able to see a best buy store and they should have it, he DID say there might be a better way to go, but I thought it best to follow his directions and so I did, when I turned around the last corner I realized he was right, there WAS an easier way, which was turning right.. But I got in the best buy store, bought my tablet and made my way home.
I spent some time trying to make the tablet work and checking my dating profile, and taking a bath and getting some neat clothes on, then I went down to meet up with bo.
We hung out and went out to grab some food and get a beer some-place, but I ended up just getting myself a beer in a liquor-store and going back to drink it at bo's place whilst playing guitar and failing at singing because my voice would break.
I went home around 12 PM.

Day 38
11th of March
Okay this is a friday, I felt a little better and thought I could go to work, so I did, and I got there without too much trouble, it was bagel day so I didn't go for lunch and thusly I cannot really tell anything really interesting about the day, unless it happened before work, hmm... I don't think anything really interesting happened sadly, but I caught a ride home was there around 7, I took the muni out to bo after having taken a shower and getting some Machine Island CD's for him to distribute at double fine, when I got there I persuaded him to join me for dinner even though he had already eaten, we went to a burger place near union square, american burgers are really good if you buy them some place that isn't burgerking or McDonald’s.
We went back and played guitar and I could feel myself getting more and more sleepy, I clearly wasn't well yet, which could also clearly be heard on my voice when it cracked and when I coughed.
After a while of hanging out I went home and went to sleep.

Day 37
10th of March
Didn't get better, it got worse.. I stayed home today watching television and hanging out on my laptop, I got bored and decided that I wasn't getting rejected enough by all the girls in the world and started a dating profile, I didn't expect to find anyone interesting there, and to no surprise I didn't.
I played arcanum again which was cool, it had certainly been a while and nostalgia always is great in my opinion.
I went to the haight and got pizza for dinner, and went to bed.

Not much happened today, the metro was stuffed so I got too late for the ferry, when I got to larkspur I caught a ride with Pete because he was running late to, around 3 PM i began to get a headache, and after catching a ride with one of the contracters I began feeling pretty ill, I got home sat in a chair and didn't move much the rest of the evening, Artemis hooked me up with tea and all sortsa stuff so hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow so I can go to work without whining too much about it.
I'll head early to bed tonight I think, but first I'll drink some tea and feel sorry for myself a little more.

So I missed the ferry this morning because the metro was all sorts of mixed up, a ton of people and delays all over the rail, but I got my coffee and relaxed until the next ferry docked, I got on the ferry and went to work, work work work, and I went towards home I got a ride with pete to the ferry, and had decided to go check the prices on tablets in office depot downtown, so I met up with bo and we foud some-place to eat, and that some-place was the vegetarian restaurant serving dishes with meat. We would discover to our slight disappointment that it wasn't actually meat but soy products and all sortsa' genetically engineered stuff, high tech I tells ya!
Afterwards we went to office depot and discovered that it was closed, so instead we went for coffee at starbucks since they were most likely to be open, we went back to bo's place and hung around played guitar and stuff for a bit then I went home and now I really need to go to bed, I am already 10 minutes past twelve, and I have to get up early tomorrow to. So good night before I fall asleep in the keybolqefffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff...

I went back and got on my computer, after a while I got tired and went to bed, after a while I could hear artemis coming home after her weekend with her boyfriend, I fell asleep soon thereafter.

Day 33
6th of March
Today I hung around at home watching tv, playing computer and hanging. I got out of the house once to go to walgreen's it was raining so I brought an umbrella, bought a bottle of soda, some peanuts and two packs of pepperoni snacks, that was my dinner, nom nom. Sundays can be pretty boring sometimes, but I got to see judge dread on the tv. That has to count for something right?

Day 32
5th of March
Saturday I went down to meet up with bo, who was talking with his girlfriend on his Ipod when I arrived, he let me in and he talked on while I ate his blueberries and played the guitar and slowly but surely became more and more tired, so when he was done I demanded we went to get coffee, and so we did, bo even got a cup of cafe latte, we sat around in the cafe talking danish (like the arrogant hipster danes we are) and contemplating our next move, we had agreed with the other people in the household that we would go to a hipster party called mission united, celebrating all things mission i.e. all things hipster.
We left the cafe and walked around a bit not really going anywhere and when we got home it was pretty late, so I got my GDC stuff we had stashed at bo's place and we went up to the place I am living, we sat there for a bit recharging bo's Ipod on my computer while we surfed around and took some photos of bo in a chair.
Then we went down to the hipster-party, but soon realized that neither of us knew where it was, so we wandered around in the mission district for about an hour and a half, asking for directions several times and getting different answers each time, finally we asked two girls, one of them was a pretty hot hipster-chick, and they first gave us the wrong direction, met us there and corrected their mistake, and when bo and I finally found the place it was pretty impressive in our own minds that we were able to, the party was located in what appeared on the outside to be an old warehouse situated under a highway ramp, to get to it you had to walk on a heavily trafficked way and walk down a road called erie (pretty close to eerie), with wire fences on each side.
But the party was really fun, it took a while for us to feel comfortable there but once we found three other people living at bo's place it was all good, you could buy eccentric home-made clothes, during the party there was a photo-shoot, you could watch, there was some food stuff going on and crazy fun music, so after having seen stuff bo began dancing, and as soon as he is having fun it is not hard to let yourself go and dance as crazy as you like, because you always know bo will be the one looking more ridiculous and crazy, in a good sort of way..
But around twelve or one or something people began getting tired, so did I dancing is tough, so we went home, the four of them living in the same place took a cab and I decided to try and walk, it took me one and a half hour, but it was kinda fun just seeing how long it would take. I got home and sat around writing on msn with my mom before going to bed.
Saturday I went down to meet up with bo, who was talking with his girlfriend on his Ipod when I arrived, he let me in and he talked on while I ate his blueberries and played the guitar and slowly but surely became more and more tired, so when he was done I demanded we went to get coffee, and so we did, bo even got a cup of cafe latte, we sat around in the cafe talking danish (like the arrogant hipster danes we are) and contemplating our next move, we had agreed with the other people in the household that we would go to a hipster party called mission united, celebrating all things mission i.e. all things hipster.

Day 31
4th of March
Woah, I cannot believe we got through that in one piece! And all in time for GDC, I bet no one will believe that it actually happened! Anyway today was GDC, and it was cool, I got up a little too late and went down to a copy store to make some xeroxes of the title for the CD's with Machine Island I burned out for GDC while fighting the [this text has been scratched of somehow] yesterday, multitasking does come in handy when saving the world.
Anyway I got the copies and headed down to meet with bo at montgomery station, before heading to GDC, I got a cup of coffee and we headed towards the event, when we arrived we got on some computers and filled out a form and went on to a counter where we got the pass for GDC, excited we went down some escalators and into the expo, we went around for a bit and became increasingly aware that the majority of the companies weren't really interested in talking with people as they would just ask us to go to their website and apply for a job. But I had the chance to give away a few copies. We met with michelle, the head of the animation workshop while waiting around for a guy from blizzard bo knew, and decided to grab lunch soon, while we waited around for the guy michelle went around passing out the bachelor filmsto the companies and when she came back we were already talking with the blizzard guy, I gave him a copy of machine island, and he said he would look forward to playing it, also he was pretty stoked to finally meet bo, the guy who had not only corresponded with him several times about art related stuff, but had saved his favourite [again a word is scratched off] just yesterday.
Anyway, we went for crepes at one of michelle's favourite places in san francisco, it was pretty good, and it was nice to talk to michelle again and being able to brag about saving the world now for the fifth time. When we went back to the city michelle had to be going so bo and I went back to the GDC as the dynamic duo we are (like batman and superman, not like batman and robin). When we got there it was closed, and to make a long story short we suddenly found ourselves in the double fine headquarters, never before had I seen such homely office space and neither will I again if all transpire as the fortune-teller told me wednesday. We then met the guys who made Limbo, Playdead and talked about our bachelor projects and the prospect of applying for a job at playdead, also I got a tour of the famed, nay the legendary double fine studios, seen by few know by many, on the walls were etchings of the legend of psyconautica, a story so ancient that time and space itself may not yet have been around when it happened.
We left the double fine HQ, and went home to bo's place to play guitar and hang around, and so we did for a little while until we agreed to go to a bar in north-beach, we went past a lot of bars until we finally found one we thought looked like a bar and not a club, so I got a beer, and we sat down, but apparently we accidentally joined a birthday-party, the birthday-girl was really drunk and screeched everything she said at us, not unlike the [again with the scratching out, this is really annoying..] we fought off monday evening.
So we left as soon as my glass was empty and an opportunity arose, we then went to sutter street and found a pretty decent bar there, decent meaning all the women were clearly worn out, and all men were bearded drunk and older than forty. I enjoyed a beer here and the lack of screaming when suddenly I realized that if I wanted to take the metro back I would have to finish my beer soon, I told bo what I had come to realize and I drank my beer and we left, when I got home I went straight to bed, luckily I had been able to get a train-car that went to the closest station so I didn't have to climb the mountain of 17th street.

Day 28
1st of March
Took the ferry to work again, got there in pretty good time today, so I got my coffee, I got on the ferry and went by the food court to buy oranges and bread for the sausages I had prepared yesterday.
While I was at work bo asked if I wanted to hang out, which I did, so I caught a ride to the city and met up with bo, we walked around town a bit and decided to go to McDonald’s, even though I have been at burger king we decided it was an obligatory visit, and then it happened!
