I was taking a fifteen minute break by walking across the street to get a double-latte. So you want to increase your productivity. You take 15 minutes to get some beverage that will make you work twice as hard. Is that better than working for 30 minutes slower, than 15 minutes faster?
I’m thinking a lot [...]
Tony drove home after work, the sun in his eyes as he crested Union Street. He swung a left up Leavenworth, then onto the sidewalk in front of his apartment. He cherished and loved every moment he didn’t spend looking for parking. He got his mail, switched on the TV and caught up on [...]
I was cleaning for the cleaner, and noticed a brown paper bag, at the bottom of a pile of bags, in my closet. It contained a few baseball hats, a few CDs, and a very, very small dark blue hoodie. I remember sister #2 (in age order) saying to me- but I couldn’t remember time [...]
Trying to get out and walk consistently (no cafe/shopping breaks) for 45 minutes a day. Walked an old route yesterday, along Aquatic Park, over Fort Mason and back along Bay. Decided to detour down to North Point and check out an acquaintance’s burrito shop- closed. This block is kind of ghetto, not sure why. Strangely, [...]
Started using my camera to take video. In this exercise I learned how to do subtitles AND fading.

Just a snippet of what my instructor wrote on the board that fateful day of 101 Chinese.
In chat this morning with my brother-in-law, we got in a protracted conversation about learning Chinese. He goes to China about once a quarter, and his daughter is learning Chinese.
“Huan xie [...]
I went to the pro-choice rally today - to protest the Supreme Court upholding the partial ban on abortion. And I wrote some pro-women comments on the whole Spock flare-up. I get pretty passionate about these ideas, but - and is it superficial and lazy of me- I only want to talk about them with [...]
Jane pushed her hands away from her. She tried to focus on the instructor’s soft soothing, carefully timed voice and exhaled noisily. She pushed her butt in the air. Fucking Boss (FB) kept her in a few hours after 5 so she missed the advanced class and was stuck in beginners. Fucking beginners. She wanted [...]
I want to get cable, as a little personal perk to my life. It’s indulgent, I know. So I am excited and giddy to get this new toy. My interchange with ComCast trying to buy cable, though, has left me a little sour. I go online and simply order 2 things: basic digital & HD. [...]
Sosa squinted at the new LCD HD 25″ monitor. After solving the iMurder case, his boss had invested in a new computer setup. Flat screen monitor, a Blackberry, and a “wiki.” Sosa didn’t know what the purpose of a wiki was- he ended up forwarding emails to Beth. He liked the “crack” berry though. He [...]
