Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah some call me the gangster of love

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

Tonight I got hit on by a girl at a Grime party in the city. She was totally doing the thing where she over-reacts to my wit, insight or general observations on life, touched my arm a lot, and flipped her hair while gazing intently at my face. I think she interpretted my “I’m not [...]

Oops

Friday, March 16th, 2007

Damn! Damn fraking damn! So I’m about 4 episodes behind in Battlestar Galactica. I haven’t felt a great rush to catch up on those 4 episodes because as much as I enjoy the show, I know the episodes are waiting when I’m ready for them. Then, quite by accident, I just saw a major spoiler [...]

Comics frustration

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

Last week it was Captain America, this week it was Buffy. I either need to start shopping for comics the moment the stores open, or finally break down and set up a subscription/pull list at my neighborhood comic book store. It’s so frustrating when a guy like me, who is in the store almost ever [...]

Web hosting recs?

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

I find that I have need of a little internet real estate, but I’ve never really worked with a hosting company that thrills me. Does anyone have a reccomendation for an inexpensive hosting service with decent features and customer support? Who has really stood out as a great company to work with for you?

McCain: Discrimination Works! Hooray!

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

John McCain on “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” “I recently had a conversation with some other military leaders on this issue and their point to me was ‘It’s working, so leave it alone. Generally, overall, it’s working.’ I don’t think there’s any doubt that there are evolving attitudes in America about many issues, including this one, [...]

Warm Weekend

Monday, March 12th, 2007

As Deeva pointed out, today was a beautiful day in San Francisco. Totally t-shirt and shorts weather. Unfortunately, I spent most of it sleeping and working. Last night, I went with Jennifer & Daniel to a Guitar Hero party hosted by one of her coworkers in Oakland. After that, we all went to a Burning Man [...]

Disturbing commentary on <i>300</i>

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

From AfterElton.com: I don’t know about you folks, but I have had it up to here with Hollywood using homosexuality as shorthand for evil. In an interview running in this week’s edition of Entertainment Weekly, 300 director Zack Snyder admits to doing exactly that. According to the article: The director says that the film’s (homo)sexual [...]

Quickie

Friday, March 9th, 2007

So I made it to the park to jog after work today. I now totally believe that treadmill =/= road jogging. After jogging for 30 minutes, I hit the gym on the way home and worked on my endurance some more. This morning I had a coffee meeting with a reporter from the Chronicle. It [...]

Apropos of nothing at all

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

There’s nothing like talking to someone going through a nasty breakup to put a lot of things in perspective… the futile attempts to “resolve” things through venting email, the irrational decisions that seem perfectly justified, the mood swings, knowing that no matter how good the advice coming from your friends you’re still going to do [...]

No one cares if we ruin comic book storylines, right?
