did that just happen?

i woke up at 10:07 am today, i remember that time because that should have been the time i was ON the bart train to fremont. i brought natalie's shirt down to her mailbox and then i skipped off to shattuck to the downtown berkeley stop. i missed the 10:47 train by two minutes and took the one that came 15 minutes later. i arrived at noon. my aunts, uncles, cousin and grandma were late in picking me up though. after a homeless man made me uncomfortable while we were sitting, i got up and started pacing. then a man started stalking after who appeared to be his girlfriend. he suddenly started hitting her and then beat her into a bush. THEN SOME OTHER GUY PULLED OUT HIS GUN AND MADE THE FIRST GUY LAY ON THE GROUND. someone called the police and both of the dudes got arrested. that is not ok... we need better lessons on conflict management.

so we went to aberdeen cafe in fremont and had lots of asian dishes. then we went to my aunt and uncle's house in san jose. kevin, my 11 year old cousin, wanted to go to the movies so we watched toy story 3. no lie, i shed a few tears at the end. then trying to kill time, my aunt suggested another movie... so we may or may not have also watched grown ups. it was ok, i laughed out loud at some points but i don't know if i would have seen it again. toy story on the other hand... was perfect. then we had dinner at good neighbors seafood restaurant in newark, ca. it was pretty yummy - i couldn't get enough of the spinach in garlic sauce. on the way back, my grandma reminisced about back in the day. she said she used to take the bus to get to her classes when i was a few months old (i had stayed at day care when she did and did not want to leave when she came to pick me up). i had lived in san jose for the first few months of my life - i never knew that. they drove me back to berkeley by 10 pm and i hung out with danielle as we contemplated going into san fran for the night. we decided against it and i just hung around. i need to make more friends in the bay area.
