I have to quit my job

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

After a great deal of thought, I’ve decided I have no choice but to quit my job. It’s taking up too much of the time I should be using to study, constantly makes me unhappy, and shows no sign of ever improving. I don’t know what I’ll do for money, but I’ll probably move back [...]

Easter 2008.

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Today was a perfect day in San Francisco. Warm, no wind, lots of crazy queers gathered in one place… I went to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence anniversary party in Mission Dolores Park, which includes the popular Hunky Jesus competition. Only in San Francisco does Easter become an opportunity for queer people to dress up [...]

The Vigil for Lawrence King

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Went to the Vigil for Lawrence “Larry” King held tonight at the San Francisco LGBT Community Center. I was disappointed that more people didn’t show up. The first 1/2 hour or so involved the various “sponsor” groups giving short speeches (boring, missing the point) then it opened up to open mic. I was the first [...]

Yes We Can

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

The Amazing “Yes We Can” song inspired by Barack Obama’s speech. Two days until Super Tuesday. I’ve more or less decided to follow the liberal endorsements on the ballot initiatives: Prop 91 – No: No one is still arguing to pass this bill. Prop 92 – Yes: Education is good. Prop 93 – Yes: Term [...]

Can I Book My Flight to Detroit on This Airline?

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

I’ve been enjoying this commercial for Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, which has been all over our local broadcasts for the past few weeks.

*Yawn*

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Now that Mary-Kate has done it’s damage (over 500,000 people lost power, BART and MUNI went off the rails, trees and scaffolding fell, and highways were backed up–yet our office lights barely flickered), I mostly want to settle into bed for an early bedtime.

OMG Wind!

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Happy Winds-day! On this very blustery day in San Francisco, I am reminded of the things that go bump in the windy night. They’re black they’re brown they’re up their down They’re in they’re out they’re all about They’re far they’re near they’re gone they’re here They’re quick and slick and insincere Beware Beware Be [...]

Blow, Gabriel, Blow

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

So the national weather service is issuing high wind warnings throughout the Bay Area for tomorrow and Friday. Today’s Chronicle had a dire front page story on “The Deadly Toll of Wind Power” (it’s killing lots of birds or something – but the front page picture was ominous and terrifying). Of course, I expect that [...]

Tiger, tiger, burning bright

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

My trip home is coming to a close all too quickly. Said some family goodbyes today since I’ll be taking off before some of them leave work tomorrow. Jasmine is joining me on the first leg of the flight home (she’s on her way to Sacramento to visit her boyfriend before he leaves for a [...]
