OMG! further update on spoon ring guy: on my way to the movie theater tonight, i saw him on telegraph, with his rings made from spoons! he still exists. i will return there tomorrow.

re: the movie theater: i saw _my blueberry nights_, which was a cool-looking movie. it taught me that natalie portman is much prettier when she is funny-looking than when she's just, yo, natalie portman. the film features a cameo by chan marshall. it was a fairly good, although rather slow, movie.

the #1 bus is useless to me on weekends, as it is always 30 minutes late. on weekdays, however, it is incredibly useful to me. this contrast is frustrating.

this is the last third day of a month that i will spend in berkeley.

golden gate park today was so fun! and i rode cable cars!
