See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Well, with the recent median price in SF being about $750,000, they have a long way to fall.

The SF market is weird and anomalous and unlikely to drop anytime in the near future, but, of course, SF being SF it's completely bizarre and varies wildly almost from block to block--in my neighborhood, most of the 2-3 BR condos sold in the last 6 months have gone for 1.3-1.5 million each. Go just 8-10 blocks west, out of Cole Valley and into the Sunset, and the price for the same identical places drops by at least 5-600K.

Which is still a price that the just-won-the-lottery me my pipe dreams sometimes have pipe dreams about occasionally noodles about in her own thrice-removed-from-reality pipe dreams.

If handwriting analysis played any role in US hiring practices, I would be unemployed until forever. Thankfully, it doesn't, and I start next Friday!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hello? Sociopath.

Um, yes. I very much agree! But he seems to be a very clueless sociopath. Hopefully, this means if he ever does anything felonious, he will get arrested sooner rather than later.

...if you were looking for an upside to the situation.

That's awesome JZ! It's almost like winning the lottery. Almost.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Go you!

I doubt it. He is also...well, I guess he's an American Psycho sort of sociopath to some extent. Buff, goodlooking, intelligent, well-spoken without the slightest hint of butwedontDOthatness to him. Totally not the sort that you'd think is a kitty killer.

Hopefully the unabashedness will get his Silicon Valley marketing manager ass in trouble one of these days.

I'm glad you got some breathing room, ita. Broken coffee pot?

Congrats, JZ!

I don't think I could have been civil to ita's whacko. Deliberate injury to animals is something I'm just not rational about. I can barely forgive an author for detailing casual animal abuse he observed to illustrate a point (and it wasn't unnecessary, I just wish he'd kept it to himself and picked something else!) much less someone who actually committed it.

Go JZ!!

I just got back from my Spa Week facial. The aesthetician seemed put out that I never wash my face and that my skin is in as good of shape as it is.

For those of you who enjoy tofu, what do you like to marinate it in?

I've just been doing soy sauce and green onions but I'm ready to be more adventurous.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The very concept of Australian Batman is not deeply flawed! It is a thing of beauty and a joy forever!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

White wine and Worchester sauce. Is most tasty. And piquant.
