Ah, hangover. The walk to work today would have been brilliant minus the hungover feeling. I was out early, judging by the number and state of ladies in the park (the tai chi clock). They were pinwheeling their arms and doing little knee bends in preparation for the mass exercise.
Last night managed to get to [...]
I have a few weeks of this walk left, which hasn’t given me the vaseline wipe on the lens or anything, I just realize, hey, may have to get out here and be with the 90 year old Asian ladies doing tai chi, because I’ll have tons of time on my hands after this job [...]
Did the ole commute in record time- was at Peets at 9:30 and woke up at 8:45, got out of house exactly at 9:05, so 25 minutes, and on phone the entire time (job interview). They were ripping out a tree in front of the library :( The Joe DiMaggio playground does look great. I [...]
I keep on finding interesting routes to common destinations. On the way back from Film Yard, the video store, this afternoon, I found a cool intersection. One alley between another, Pfeiffer and something (not on mapquest) between Chestnut and Francisco. Really charming! In a kind of undiscovered way (impossible since it is one block off [...]
Ah, Jury Duty. It’s over! Notes on traversing from North Beach to Civic Center:
- there are many ways to cross over Nob Hill/Russian Hill
- many people, though they live in SF, drive everywhere
- the observation above is not related to your income level
- the parks in Civic Center are very pleasant for napping around 1pm
- [...]
First, walking to work right outside of Bikram yoga/convenience store, saw cable car stopped, and brakeman leaning out asking a small, elderly Asian man if he needed an ambulance. Man and woman were huddled on the sidewalk with a 20-something blond (turns out British) woman who is on the phone with ambulance. She showed me [...]
Two women were doing tai chi in the park today- the fan dance. My mother informs me that there are many tai chis, with swords, fans, etc. One woman was really, really good. She could balance and seemed to kind of know the next steps. The fans made such a big noise (big, red fans) [...]
It’s true, this blog may change or die soon, not sure really. I wish I did!
There was an interesting cloud pattern above Coit Tower and Peter & Paul church this morning. I thought of taking a photo, but sometimes photos reduce the beauty of something. You have to work so hard to get it exactly [...]
So I took a photo and will upload it soon. Do they raise up the platform and just leave it there for a week or what? It’s been in the same place, I swear, each morning.
I have a 2 block hill right when I step out my door, and it kind of tells me “damn you’re sleepy” or “damn you’re perky” each day. Well today was the not so perky day. The sun was bright out, and …
Wow I can’t believe I haven’t written about this - they’re washing the [...]
