Over the weekend I mentioned something to someone that I had only thought about once... Well it has been four days and I've had several dreams about such topic. Could this be a mare coincidence or "a sign"? Uhmm... :)

Pride '10
As some of you might have heard, San Francisco's 40th Pride Celebration was last weekend (June 26/27) and of course I wanted to be part of the original (and world famous) event :) This year I attended with a great new friend (and by the looks of it, the girl version of me). Evlyn and I just had such an amazing time running around the streets of San Francisco. Here are some highlights of our weekend.
Our celebration started on the 26th having a couple of drink in Berkeley. We made vanilla-lime vodkaritas first (I know, it sounds so weird but they were delicious!) after words we had some chocolate cake shots and finally a bit of wine. We got ready and took Bart to SF. We got to Castro and the Pink Party was in full effect. We walked around for a while pretending to be Italian (I guess saying "scusi" made it easier to walk through the crowd) and after a while we found where the Dj's were playing... like expected, we danced and danced and danced till we got tired. Evlyn and I bumped into some friends and we talked to them for a while... Finally it was time to go back to Berkeley and so we walked to the nearest Bart station. Halfway there we sat in front of a store and wished pedestrians a "happy pride", then out of the blue we started telling them we were from Minnesota and needed Bart money... we got $5. The whole night was frantic but full of fun.
The following day we got up at 8am and started getting ready for the parade. Once again, we took Bart which was packed... we had to stand the whole time rubbing elbows with REALLY unpleasant people... one person in particular. We arrived in San Francisco and walked down Market St trying to find a good spot, after a couple of minutes we found a place with a really great view. We watched the parade and cheered EVERY float that we saw, we good a lot of goodies for being so loud and cheerful. Once the parade was over, we headed to the Civic Center where the celebration was taking place. Our first stop was the main stage where we got to see The Back Street Boys perform (I was more of a Nsync fan but was excited to see the BSB too) As soon as their performance ended we walked around trying to find the "techno/ dance" stage, after a while we found it (by accident) and once again as expected we danced and sang our little hearts out. Finally after what seemed like hours on the dance floor we headed back to a Bart station to catch the train to Berkeley.
Since our friends Jesus and Edgar couldn't make the festivities (due to a fraternity event) we decorated their appartment with everything we were given at the parade, including our beads and Pride bracelets :) We also made the boys some vanilla-lime vodkaritas and hung out till we fell asleep.
It was definetely a fun filled weekend. I lost my voice for a couple of days, my feet still kinda hurt and I'm burnt from the sun, but there were no regrets :) Here are some pictures, enjoy!

Oh Sookie!
That's it... Snoop Dogg is my favorite rapper now.
If you are a fan of the hit TV show True Blood, you are going to LOVE this. Check this True Blood-Inspire song by Snoop called "Oh Sookie". I can't help but love the track, it's catchy and oh so smooth lol. Enjoy.

Shakespeare, As You Like It.
Duke Senior:
Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.
-Act 2, Scene 1.

The Thundercats are baaaack!
One of my favorite 80's cartoon show Thundercats is getting a makeover and will be airing on Cartoon Network in 2011.
Warner Bros. Animation's Sam Register realesed a statement saying:
"In addition to being Warner Bros. Animation’s first anime series, ThunderCats marks our most ambitious foray yet into fantasy. The realism and dynamic visual style we’ve achieved are sure to thrill viewers, and the cool weapons, vehicles and technology should help the show appeal to a diverse audience. As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn valuable lessons of loyalty, honor and mortality in every episode."
Sounds good! I think I'll have check it out once it airs lol
