Cafe Crisis!
Woke up late. I have no food at home for breakfast, so I have to go out. I need to write for a few hours before work, so I can’t really do anything off the beaten track. Where can I find a coffee shop with good scones, wireless, and seating? IMPOSSIBLE. I dare you [...]
Did the ‘new commute’ out to Bush & Kearny. Met up with a scalper at Tully’s in Crocker Galleria, ah, the scene of the crime. Am I the only one who sees their life as a constant Maltese Falcon? I have never gone to Perry’s. There Tharpo, match me there- you can be the foray [...]
My friend (see to the right, apple pie proud) recently posted a great pathetic fallacy that has inspired me as well, to tell the time when I was seduced by the city. The city being a lover, that is. That’s the pathetic fallacy part. A new literary phrase that I learned listening to a [...]

There is no snappy headline or overall theme to today’s post, except perhaps that I adore Golden Gate Perk, the cafe on Bush & Kearny that has free wireless and allowed me to check some work emergencies at 8am this morning. I was on the way to passport renewal errand. Then got deterred by reading [...]
Boston
Did the Freedom Trail. Well, intended to do the FT, but couldn’t really *do* the trail as I was too cheap to pay the fee, and the humiliation of following an 18th century costumed person around downtown Boston was just too much. So instead, I read up on the internet and walked the route. I [...]
SF Zoo
I was amongst the mommies. I took my nephew (4) to the zoo and was suddenly in the world of parents. It afforded me great opportunities to talk to random people. One woman, though, with two older kids, started talking to me with no greeting first or other transition.
Her: And so we left [...]
