I’m on my third day of the incredibly inefficient system of the jury selection process. I’m at the 6th & Bryant courthouse. Next to my court room, another courtroom has a sign on the door:
No drinking.
No eating.
No reading.
No newspapers.
No sleeping.
No talking.
Pretty much sums up my life, and why I’m hating waiting to be [...]

A friend of mine recently had a cranial surgery. In a dream last night, I met him, and we hugged, and I noticed he had a different personality. Kind of carefree and happy. He’s usually happy when he sees me, but this was one of those overall personality shifts that you can sense when you [...]
So I am at work and decide to catch dinner with some coworkers and their friends, in North Beach. I knew about some other happenings in town- Yelp party at Voda in Union Square- but when folks want to go to your neighborhood, it’s very hard to go anywhere else.

I headed into this weekend with an amazingly great bottle of wine, a splurge, enjoyed with my mom and a friend, on the roof of my apartment, before teaching mah jong for four hours in Caffe Trieste.

[loud buzzer goes off as she enters post office]
“Yeah, so it was really nice, because we weren’t hanging out with Patrick, which is what we usually do, it was just he and I, and we talked and got to know each other. I felt more mindful. And [...]
My Thoughts on the Old Neighborhood
I stood outside of a new store opening yesterda, Aldea (sp?) on 17th between Valencia and Mission, accompanying a security detail friend.
The neighborhood has not changed in the year I’ve been away! Still everyone looks the same in the artfully casual way of wanting to look different. There is [...]
Fire! Fire!
My brother in law, sister, and assorted friends were enjoying a glass of wine on the roof of my apartment yesterday. We were beseiged with mist, basically, since it was a really warm winter day but the precipitation was coming hard. Bro-In-Law goes, “I haven’t really been listening to you guys for the past [...]
Not many great things make me sound like a snively 13 year old again except for… I found a Peets 3 blocks from my house!!!
I was out walking along my favorite route so far, down columbus (too noisy!!!) to Hyde St. cable car turnaround, down along Aquatic Park. Then out along the pier turn around [...]
Last.fm
Kind of addicted to this site: www.last.fm. Tracks what music you’re listening to, gives you “neighbors” and lets you stalk, I mean, check up on what your friends are listening to as well. I’m “banane71″ if you want to befriend me. I only have 1 friend. And it’s some intergalactic person. Anyway…

Overheard on Van Ness [...]
