Christina and I went on a double date with her parents to the Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda, CA today.  The fee is $15/person but you definitely get your money’s worth because all the games are free.  There are 4 or 5 large rooms filled with pinball machines that range from the 1930s to 2011.  I loved it…

Each year for my birthday my parents would ask me what I wanted to do on my “special day” so I think just about every year I said I wanted to go bowling.  So what to do for the big 34?  We went bowling baby!  I am absolutely terrible at it but I still have lots of fun and it was Tyler’s first time.

Christina and I went to Totem in San Francisco on Friday afternoon.  According to its website:

“TOTEM traces the fascinating journey of the human species from its original amphibian state to its ultimate desire to fly. The characters evolve on a stage evoking a giant turtle, the symbol of origin for many ancient civilizations.  Inspired by many founding myths, TOTEM illustrates, through a visual and acrobatic language, the evolutionary progress of species.  Somewhere between science and legend TOTEM explores the ties that bind Man to other species, his dreams and his infinite potential.”

I loved the acts but I don’t know how congruent they were.  They all didn’t seem to tell much of a story, it was a little bit disjointed in parts.  Le Reve was so much better but we certainly still enjoyed ourselves.  If you’ve seen Totem, what do you think?
