I’ve been trying to transit (walk/bart/shuttle) to my client’s at least once a week. This week it’ll be two out of three. I walk down to Market Street, about 20-25 minutes, then BART for 20, then Emery Go Round shuttle for 20. For someone with acute motion sickness that’s three nauseas in one morning. It [...]
Managed to coordinate my travel plans with a friend in Boston and my sister in Baltimore. Then, after figuring out the right dates, flights, and train schedules, got the very same email from both of them: “It’s my birthday on 11/19!” “It’s my son’s birthday on 11/19!” How unlikely is that, that you would schedule [...]
I’m doing two totally new- to me- things this week. Joined Facebook, and I’m going to the Renaissance Faire. Two friends of mine responded to this newness with: “Facebook- why?” Ren Faire: “omg you are desperate for geeky guys.” What I read into those comments is that there is some supposition that neither are real [...]
My sleeping schedule is wacked. I stopped drinking coffee, then had a double cappuccino at 10pm and stayed up until 4:30. Woke up at 7:00am-ish for three nights in a row, camping. Now back in the real world, woke up at 7am again. North Beach is nice in the morning- folks hosing down the sidewalks [...]
I popped out of bed early, bundled up my stuff and walked 20 minutes to Market Street. It was Friday, and damned if I was going to sit in Friday night traffic getting back to the city. So I had planned ahead. I had 3 BART tickets that had been sitting on my desk. One [...]
I’m ending my board-ship of SF WoW. I’ve been there since 98, 10 years! It’s time for new blood, and I want to free up my volunteer time to other organizations, and projects of my own… I sat next to a short film producer/writer/director last night, and we talked for hours it seemed on what [...]
ANAPEST, ANAPESTIC A metrical foot with two short or unaccented syllables followed by a long or accented syllable, as in inter-VENE or for a WHILE. William Cowper’s “Verses Supposed to be Written by Alexander Selkirk,” is a poem in which anapestic feet are predominately used, as in the opening line: I am MON | -arch [...]
So my mom turned me onto a new blogeuse. Monterey News. I’ve been really enjoying it lately. She has an interesting Buddhist approach to life, and her writing is simple and descriptive, and non-conclusive (my pet peeve). She’s in my mom’s Monday Lunch Group- where they talk about anything universal, no grandchildren discussions. I’ve been- [...]
Beth wasn’t ready for an interrogation this morning. The moment she stepped into work Sosa called her cell. If she wanted to see the interrogation with the number one suspect, head down to the precinct. She walked a few blocks over to the precinct and Mikey buzzed her in. He told her Sosa was in [...]
being human: "I signed up to study the genetics of evil. When does it mean sleeping with a vampire..." Uh, when it's Aidan Turner.
