I was reading about club drugs during my day of recuperating and pop culture and found all these references to 5-Methoxy-diisopropyltryptamine it is also called foxy (WIKIPEDIA - 5-MeO-DIPT) - which has been illegal since 2003.

It was listed along side GHB, LSD, ecstacy, and crystal - I never ever heard of it. The article I was reading was about sindergarten, some sort of druggy school bus for elite high school students in NYC. You can read the whole article on radar It sounds insane.

Here is some more info about foxy on erowid and some medical info

Lesbian Straight guy thing.
While sick today I was reading pop culture articles instead of programing for once and came across this article written by a lesbian about the bond between straight guys and lesbians Call me closed minded but I always kind of thought lesbians hated men. I guess I was wrong. She also mentions the lesbian shift from owning cats to owning dogs in the 90s. I never thought about that either. My favorite part of the article was her way of describing the hetero-female homo-male relationship as, "The love that never shuts up."

San Francisco recap
I still cannot believe (e:jacob) was there and we did not see each other.

(e:matthew) really likes escargot


I really like everything else


This fish was so fucked up. I guess they all flip like this as the grow up. Probably still tastes good with garlic butter.


Scared (e:matthew)


Here is some ice on Lake Erie as seen from the plane.


Here is sheridan park


And strawberry island


Some more pics from the trip.

Well, my fourteen hour plane ride is over. I think I have strep throat now like I have never had before. My throat and lungs are on fire and I have a fever. Like it hurts to breathe and swallow. I hope I feel better in the morning, if not I am going to the doctor it feels so bad. I guess there is a rapid strep throat test now. Maybe there was always one and I just didn't have a doctor before. Argh.

I am so glad about being home in Buffalo. Big City life is really not for me. I think I would die of anxiety if I lived in San Francisco.

I would never fly Delta again, it is this sub-trash piece of shit airlines. The flights were terrible.

On the second flight, the seats going back function was broken which really sucks on an overnight flight. Although there was a movie we were not able to see the screen due to the way the cabin was configured. They didn't even bother giving us earphone ports for the sound.

But here is the kicker. I was annoyed when we arrived in Atlanta at 5am for our 9:20am flight to buffalo. But what made that totally unacceptable is that there is a 7am flight to Buffalo. Why would they have not put us on that flight when I requested a ticket from San Francisco online. It just doesn't make sense. So I asked the stupid fuck behind the counter if we could switch and he said no.

(e:matthew) and I spent most of yesterday in the park. We walked from Buena Vista park down Haight street to the golden gate park to the ocean and all the way back.

How did graffitti get in the electric or phone box or whatever this is.


Here is the city view from twin peaks.


This is where (e:twisted) often visits estrip.


This flower in the park smelled so sweet. I want to know what it is.


A pretty twisted branch.


Another pic of flowers at golden gate park. The viewfinder in my camera makes purple look blue so I thought it was not taking pictures of purple/pink things properly but it is. Just that they show up blue in the viewfinder.




(e:matthew) taking pictures

Missing Image ;(

This pine cone was so large and heavy. It is hard to tell in the pic.


This tree trunk over water was almost the death of me. I ran across it and then got scared and sat down as it was high up over water. Then I had to shimmy the rest of the way.


When we got to the beach we ate yummy food.




A cubby hole in the woods. I thought (e:terry) would like it.


Next to Buena Vista Park is this house that resembles ours accept for theirs is smaller but has a grander entrance.
