mystery, intrigue, magic...Tuesday, May 04, 2004

Went to the Winchester Mystery House on wednesday for a work function. Was really cool. Kinda a trip cause she was only 4' 10", so everything was miniature, and totally my size!! The place was totally haunted though. There's definitely a lot of spirtual activity in that place. Was feeling dizzy and kinda out of it towards the end of the tour and had a case of deja vu in her kitchen...The best though was her collection of Tiffany stained glass windows. They were so awesome, very detailed and the craftsmanship was incredible! I totally fell in love with the place, and really just the whole concept behind it. So I did end up going to see the Rapture and the BMRC show on thursday with Brandon, but we got there late and missed the Rapture and didn't feel like sitting through the BMRC show, so we ended up at the Arrow bar...Friday took a long nap, watched Amelie with Ruben, poor guy, right before a semi-truck hit his car, and then on sunday, it got broken into. Bless his heart, he's seems to have such bad luck sometimes...My brother had a bad night friday too. Guess he and his friends got shot at in Castro Valley of all places. Saturday went to the How Weird Street fair and Nickie's, just kinda hung out sunday and watched American Pop, and monday had drinks with Miss Hong and Isis. I'm actually pretty exhausted from all the activities from the past few day, and I know it's just gonna get crazier with Mother's Day on sunday, Christine and Sergio visiting from LA on friday, 1984 on thursday for Dre's b-day, shopping for a Mother's Day gift on saturday....Well, I'm happy at least, better to be busy and entertained than bored off my arse, right? I found this today at work in a box of HR stuff stuffed under my desk, and it's kinda funny cause it really just sums up this week perfectly...Gotta love serendipity!!"If you observe a really happy man, you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that had rolled under the radiator, striving for it as a goal in itself. He will have come aware that he is happy in the course of living life twenty-four crowded hours of each day." - W. Beran Wolfe
