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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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

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.

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 [...]

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).

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 [...]
