Hot hot hot-lanta

My youngest brother lives in Hot-lanta [inlink]robin,374[/inlink] (at least until he moves to Chicago this summer for grad school), so I too have done the underground, CNN, Centennial Olympic Park, and Stone Mountain - on the Fourth of July no less! Oh yes - quite the Southern patriotic experience.

And I'm not just teasing. ;-)

girls and boys

I'm not sure I can add much to this thread [inlink]ajay,322[/inlink] except to say disqualifying guys I'm attracted to as potential friends would rule out some of my best friendships. I'm not saying it's easy, but with the right mindset and sublimation techniques (not to mention other techniques, but we don't need to get into that here), it can be done. It can even be fun, once you get past the excruciating part. Ok, you never really get entirely past that (at least not so far for me), but it can still be worth it.

For me, (one of) the hardest scenarios is if the guy is in a relationship that clearly is not working, but seemingly can't make it better or get out of it. That just drives me crazy.

On the flip side, the easiest scenario is if the guy is in a great relationship (or at least a working one) and/or otherwise definitively not gonna go there with me. Without that tortuous uncertainty, a one-sided attraction can even be more fun than no attraction. Maybe I'll flesh this out more when I have time.

-E

I mean, how great is that? Especially when I get my order in early enough he wins free tickets? I don't know what my problem was except I just thought it was something else. I mean, it's not like I was picking out china patterns or anything. Oh hell, forget about it.

Oh yeah, I've decided the "L" bit is to streamline his mass mailing list. Smart.

I think I have to take a vacation from buffalo for a while until I get my life here in order. Or the snow there melts. Whichever takes longer.

p.s. - it's new for me to go out with a guy for over a month and still not know his last name. I think I like it.

"les joux sont fait"

That's french for "the fax went through."

Well...it should be anyway. It's the right number of syllables.

april 1

Happy April 1st! (At least, it's still april 1st here.)

I'll always think of April 1st as my niece's [inlink]twisted,171[/inlink] birthday. She's 6 today (as she very proudly told me on the phone).

She was too young to know we all missed her first birthday - we being my sister & brother-in-law (her parents), my Dad and I - because we were in Germany for my great Aunt and Uncle's 60th wedding anniversary. Dad and Jean are there again this year for their 65th wedding anniversary.

Alt-Easter

INDULGENCE IN THE PARK

This perennially controversial alt-Easter celebration features performances by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Kitten on the Keys, Trauma Flintstone, the Ethel Mermen Experience and Polkacide. Easter bonnet contest (1 p.m.) and Hunky Jesus (3:15 p.m.) contest winners collect $100 each. Festivities begin at 11:30 a.m. with an egg hunt and cake walk for kids. Free. 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at Dolores Park, Dolores and Church streets, San Francisco.

I don't think Alameda is ready for that.

Holy crap, peeps!

This[inlink]news,597[/inlink]is why I could never be a parent. There is no way I could deal with the possibility of seeing someone/thing I love get messed up beyond recognition and have to sit by helpless. I totally give you parents out there credit. I am a coward when it comes to that.

Ok, I know it's only a website. But oh-- golly... gee... damn!!!

Luckily everything turned out ok. This time.

"This" mostly happened while I was out chalking [search]chalk[/search] the sidewalks of Alameda for

e:west

/ alamedalink. I decided to concentrate on places where people have to pause for a moment - bus stops, newspapers stands, crosswalks (people actually wait for the pedestrian light here - it's so cute), laundromats, mailboxes, pay phones, casual carpool pick-up spots (talk about ad-hoc community), bike racks, ferry terminal, dog parks. I've got to conserve my minimal resources right now. I might get more creative

later. I'm only one person fer cryin' out loud.

(e:uncutsaniflush) - that house[inlink]uncutsaniflush,28[/inlink] is gorgeous! I hope it works out. My experience has been that any acquisition with a past - be it a house or a significant other - will have some undesirable baggage. But it can be worth it. You will know the answer. From that picture alone (if it weren't for the snow) I'd be ready to buy it myself, sight unseen! I hope the inspection goes well. If not, better to walk away. Remember, you are in the driver's seat. If it goes well (which I hope it does) I wish you much happiness there!

Murals and Ecoliteracy

I looked at a house across the street from the César Chávez Elementary School in the sunny Mission district

today. I love the way they like to decorate everything in the Mission. I like to decorate stuff too.

The raised beds are part of a program at the school known as "Natural Perspectives."

Funded by the Center for Ecoliteracy since 1996, Natural Perspectives works toward an integrated curriculum at the school, while it gives students a hands-on way to learn science in a natural setting.

I would definitely have to brush up on my Spanish if I moved there.
