Took lolitasir for a jaunt to some favorite SF spots: The Magazine, where I picked up Italian and Japanese dirty comics, the main branch of the Library to see my piece there, and then off to the Mission where I got two incredible luchador masks thanks to J. Finally we went to Mr S for… Continue Reading

Je suis un ananas…
I don’t know why, but for some reason I suddenly remembered this. Years ago one of the local San Francisco stations decided to play these episodes of Telefrancais at 2am. I was sitting on the couch with Philip when we encountered the first episode and kept staring at each other in disbelief. It had something… Continue Reading
In the air, and St Patrick’s Revenge…
Doof that I am, I’m postring this via gogo, American Airlines inflight wifi service. Thus I am able to live blog the kicking of the child in the seat behind me and the $10 chicken sandwich on offer during meal service. Instead of giving that money to the Boar’s Head people (or whatever entity is… Continue Reading
A quick change of format…

Acid stomach – bleh. I made the mistake of eating a green Belgian Waffle from the waffle truck at lunch. I should have backed away when the guy who made it asked me to let him know how it tasted. “You mean no one else has bought one of these?” I squeaked, surprised since it… Continue Reading
What you see and what you wish you saw…
A view through the house. Stuffed with crap isn’t it? I took care of some overdue tasks today, but there’s so much more to do. (insert screeching needle being pulled off a record sound) You know what, this is the second time I started this post. I lost the first draft. But it’s just as… Continue Reading
Thanks, David…
…for the present and for the delightful dinner company, and splitting the indian pudding with me. What a nice way to wind down from three days of interviews, and six days straight of work. I’m so glad to have a day off tomorrow before the next work week. Tags: daily photo, friends, gift… Continue Reading
Dissapointment…
Today you visited me in the form of a cinnamon roll, disappointment. A roll that looked so rich and caramelized on the platter. A roll with promise. But once bitten into you were stale, dry, crusty without being crispy, and the icing that coated your top was bland and hard. No yummy raisins lurked on… Continue Reading
And then he called me “Nancy”…
After work today I rushed downtown to get to Daredevil to get in on the $13.00 tattoo deal. I got my name on the list, along with that of a friend who was joining me, and found out that I wouldn’t be in the chair for a bout an hour and a half. I’ve written… Continue Reading
