Another crazy week
Category: irony
The guy who is replacing me started yesterday. He's hot! And cute, and smart, and nice. Almost makes me want to stay. But if I was staying, he wouldn't be working there. How ironic is that?

Speaking of ironic, I got an email from my ex this morning saying he's coming here April 11 - April 16. I'll be in Italy April 1 - April 18. If he wanted to see me, maybe he should have checked first. Guess that means he didn't really care about seeing me. Ouch.

And to top the week off, I ran into Steve [inlink]twisted,36599[/inlink] coming into my gym on Monday when I was on my way out. It was nice to chat. Not quite as steamy as the yoga room after Jehfree's class (see below), but still.

Which reminds me, I think I have a couple free passes if anyone wants to join me for Jehfree's class next Monday, haha.

Jehfree??!... only in california.... ;)

Ah wouldn't it be nice to have a life style where I could just say "Hey Never tried Yoga and I can try it for free Ok I'll be there just meet me at the airport" . There are some people who are that lucky. Of course maybe there will be someone who reads this post and be from that area and join ya.

Whiplash
Category: ouch!
I got rear-ended big time tonight. Ok, you can hardly tell by looking at my car (thank god, since I didn't feel like pulling over on the Bay Bridge during rush hour). Although the impact was hard enough to feel my teeth rattle. A couple Ibuprofen will probably do the trick.

The guy's front end was seriously smashed - most likely from multiple previous run-ins. I'm guessing he suffers from ADD. In any case, that's probably what his insurance company would have claimed. If he is insured, that is.

Probability
omg. I can't believe this. I've been keeping my eyes open for a show when (e:Paul) is here. Not because he'd be into the same music I am, but because I would love to have him experience a show in SF. Well, this isn't what I was looking for, but when I read it, I almost freaked my freak. Mitch Easter/Let's Active is going to be here the Day Before I leave for Italy. And they're playing at the Rickshaw Stop, less than 1/4 mile from my house. How crazy is that?

So that's where I'll be Thursday, March 29th. I really can't recommend the show to anyone else. It's kind of a personal thing for me. And within walking distance of my house! How crazy is that?

p.s. -- usersound is "Every Word Means No" by Let's Active.

p.p.s. -- Note to (e:Matthew): matt, I totally neglected to see if you wanted to come along that night. I just assumed since (e:Paul) was down for the count that you were going to stay in too. although at some point after I got to the show it dawned on my overloaded brain that's probably why you roused yourself. sorry. I didn't mean to be rude/antisocial, I was just brain-dead at that point.

promise that you'll post lots of italy pictures?
jenks - 03/11/07 21:25
ooh I like that song. Somehow reminds me of the smithereens, and gives me high school parking lot flashbacks. :)
paul - 03/11/07 21:17
Sounds like a fun show!

Sit 'n Spin
Category: art
I just bought these murals from a laundromat going out of business in my neighborhood. I think they'll all fit in my new hallway. Granted, I'm not sure what that last one is of, but they look pretty cool as a set. At least, I think so.

p.s. - I lead a charmed life. If only I believed in fantasy...

You have to keep them they will make your place your own. The one with the golden gate bridge is really cool looking.
paul - 02/27/07 14:51
I like them a lot. I can't beleieve I will be there in ~20 days. I think matt is finally getting excited about it.
twisted - 02/27/07 10:08
laundromat still. think they're too gaudy? I can always sell them on ebay.
paul - 02/27/07 09:55
Is that picture on the wall at your house or in the laundromat still?

hula
Category: color
I was walking past the Hayes Green near my house when a runaway hula hoop crossed my path. I returned it to it's rightful owner after chatting for a bit, then thought to snap this video. May not be blog-worthy, but what else am I going to do with it?

::Download Flash Video::



Turns out it was the SF Bay Area Hoopers. No surprise there. Although I thought it might have been a reincarnation of this Black Rock Arts Foundation event which happened just before I moved here. I do miss having the Burning Man pagoda in the green though. That was pretty cool.

In other news, if my neighbors hate me now, just wait until I paint my house this color. Ha!

Yeah, it's a little bright. But I like it.

Hey, it'll totally match my new estrip cons! Sweet!

p.s. - yes, it was warm and sunny here today. No snow in the forecast yet. I am enjoying the snow pics from afar though.

Did you finally get a pair? I want a pair now.
