Big Gusts
I waited out the 6:30-8:00 freakish windstorm last night. I was at work in Emeryville, and it felt like either some giant was stompong on our ceiling, or a few sound blasts were happening in the parking lot. These old warehouse buildings don’t do well with 60+mph winds, it was weird. I [...]
being an American
Recently I was thinking about how patriotic I am.
- I drink a lot of coffee. For those who remember the Boston tea party(or reading it, vs. living it) the unfair taxes on tea, etc., and how Amuhrikans started drinking coffee instead, they will know that this is a truly patriotic move. “Other ports [...]

life is cruel
It’s a beautiful, beautiful day out and I’m trapped inside doing work!!! I went out to get an amazing scherma, from 901 Columbus Cafe (I love it when nothing in the title informs you that amazing middle-eastern food is near). So go there, get the slightly overpriced, but scrumptious, [...]
Driving home at night across the bay bridge
Astrology
It’s weird how eeriely right it can be. I mean, I put in way too many hours at work today and I log on and see my astrology post for tomorrow, and it’s like, you’ve put in far too many hours at work…
Your usually abundant energy [...]
What if your walk to work was sailing? Hmmm… I just want to shout out again to my buddies over at the Maritime Museum in the lobby of the Argonaut Hotel on Beach Street at Hyde: dude, that video of the harbor pilot rocks!!!
Went to Citizen Monkey, Noodle Bar last night, they’re open somewhat late. [...]

Went sailing from Oyster Pt. to The Ramp thanks to Cap’t Engine Cleaner. My pirate name is Capt’ Hot Box. We got on a giggle attack about how to get cap’t Engine Cleaner into [...]

Biking In the Cold
So it’s freezing here the past two days. I decided to do the bike loop from the Ferry Building up and around the Warming Hut, basically directly under the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s a nice low-traffic way, especially in the afternoon on [...]
Near Pacific & Taylor, Name Escapes Me
Chameleon
The writer’s cafe. OK so I’ve figured out that it’s got great feng shui, mellow tunes, and big windows for people-watching, all the great ingredients for a perfect writing spot. And guess what? Others have too. Dagnabbit. I overheard two people behind me last night discussing their writing [...]
LEO RIP
So I got an email from my Dad, who loves my neighborhood, about the death of Leo Rocca. Leo’s parents started Rocca’s, a bar very close to my house, and the one that has the sign “where locals and tourists meet.” Great obituary, and sad that Leo has passed away. The sign above the [...]
Walking to Work
I actually drive two days a week, then I walk to a cafe the other days. So I’m splitting up the definition of “walk to work,” this blog’s original intention, to my two jobs.
I actually tried to take photos out of the car window as I was on the Bay Bridge last [...]
