📅 September 2005

Looks like Mark had fun burning stuff in the desert. The art project he worked on got some coverage in the Chronicle and a photo on Wired News - he says that's him behind the scaffolding. I'll get the whole story when he shows up here on Thursday. Oh wait, is today Thursday? Gotta go.

Check it out - I can generate a map of reported crimes in my prospective 'hood.



It doesn't look that bad for two weeks.




Ok, one month doesn't look quite so good. I don't know. We're on the fence. But mostly because of the hoops we might have to jump through to take possession of the second unit. I mean, I like Steve and all but I don't want to have to marry or adopt him just to legally get two separate units. I mean, wouldn't married/related people WANT to live in the same unit more than unmarried/unrelated people? I'd really like to know who is making up these rules.

Ok, now I've seen everything.



For some reason this reminds me of the time my grandmother asked me what was the difference between an email and a fax. I guess you had to be there.

Hi there -- I'd like to do a short piece for Alameda Magazine about your site. What's a good number to reach you -- and are you available to meet for a cup of coffee, etc? Thanks -- Julia Park Associate Editor Alameda Magazine

Do I have the worst timing or what?

So I just met the buyers of my house. They LOVE my fire chicken [inlink]twisted,134[/inlink] kitchen. Thank God!

The guy works at Absinthe in the city. He says it's decorated just like my kitchen. Actually, I think my kitchen is a little too mainstream trendy - but I like it and I'm glad they like it.

So for the second time in like 2 weeks I was asked where the fuse panel is for my house. How am I supposed to know? Oh right, I guess I should. I didn't think it had fuses. But then they say they're looking for a subpanel or some damn thing. Honestly, I only want to know that sh!t on a need to know basis. Luckily I have not had to change a fuse in the 3.5 years I've lived here. If I can just make it another month and half - then it's their problem.

p.s. - I hope Mark is having fun at Burning Man
