Day 1: Success!

I need to take better care of myself. There is no point in going to the masseuse or acupuncturist to feel better if I’m not making efforts on my end.
My current problem is that I am a social drinker. Unfortunately, I’ve been out and about socializing for many nights in a row, several weeks [...]

FAIL FAIL FAIL!

In honor of the Twitter Fail Whale and all things FAIL [I love that Fail Blog!], some folks in the Fail Whale Fan Club threw a party at Shine. There was a free photo booth, so of course I had to partake in that. Unfortunately, I didn’t take advantage of it as much as I [...]

Microblogging FTW!

Sometimes I just do not have more to say than a few phrases or sentences that amount to fewer than 140 characters [size of a typical Twitter/Plurk]. Other times, I’ll write essays. Usually, I don’t because it’s hard for me to stay on topic for so long. I leave the long paragraphs for Yelp reviews [...]

Dating is Miserable & Documented

A friend of mine recently started a blog called “Dating is Miserable.” She has fewer than ten entries up, and already - WOW. I am not much of a dater, only starting recently, but it’s amazing who’s out there. Some of her stories are hilarious. Others are just sad and make you want to lose [...]

Perseids - August 11th and 12th

While we’re on the subject of things upcoming, the Perseids Meteor Shower is heading our way [our: meaning Earth] on August 11-12. Sure, it’s an annual occurrence. It is fascinating, just the same. I remember grabbing some camping chairs and a sleeping bag last year and heading for the beach. We sat there on the [...]

WordCamp San Francisco 2008!

WordCamp 2008 is coming to San Francisco on August 16th! I’ve used other platforms for blogging, and I can definitely say that this one is my favorite. If you’re in the area, please come.
Registration is open!
If you can’t make it out here, there will also be WordCamps in other cities:
- Capetown, South Africa

Green Grass

I spent today working in the City. When I’m working elsewhere, I think about how much I want to be back here. When I’m here, I think about how wonderful it would be to walk outside and NOT be cold. It was 90+ degrees where I was the rest of the week. Now it’s upper [...]

Bags of Rice!

Several hours last night were spent at the San Francisco Food Bank, filling plastic bags with a pound of rice and stuffing them into boxes. I’ve volunteered there on various occasions, and it always blows me away when I read their website regarding hunger in San Francisco. We’re all fully aware that there are starving [...]

Fat fat fat…

I need to come up with other reasons to hang out with someone. All these eating-related [AND drinking] events are leaving me feeling heavy and exhausted. I know that I have high metabolism and that it doesn’t really show on my body, but I feel icky patooey gross!
Ideas include:
- Bowling
- Hanging out at Dolores Park
- [...]

Why So Serious?

On Friday, with our assigned seats printed on the tickets in hand, we gathered at the wonderful Sundance Kabuki theater for a showing of The Dark Knight. Christian Bale was as hot as ever, but it was without a doubt all about the villains.
Wow.
There was much hype for the movie due to Heath [...]
