We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Tonight I'm going to Jilli's reading, tomorrow I have brunch plans with another out-of-town friend, other than that, just chores and errands.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Tino is trying to steal our Fridays!

Liese, I'm sorry that the Challenger stuff dredges up such grim memories. It makes sense to not want to discuss it.

You also popped up in my thoughts today. Grace saw a new ENT at UCLA today: Dr. Kanamori. He asked me where we lived, and I answered then he asked me where I grew up. But he had that tone, you know? The one that is more about who are your people? I said that my mom grew up in Hawaii, the leeward side blah blah blah. Then he asked about a whole bunch of stuff. I'm pretty sure he grew up on the mainland, but he has that whole Nisei thing, I think.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My apartment will more than likely be dusty when I leave on Sunday, but I will have the garbage all taken out, the laundry and dishes done, and the bathroom and kitchen scrubbed and carpet vacumned. Oh, and I will remember to make my bed before I leave, instead of just tossing the comforter over the messy sheets like I sometimes do.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Liese, or maybe not. I just googled him. He did med school at Howard University then residency at King/Drew which is UCLA affiliated, including a fellowship, private practice in Vegas then Albuquerque and now back at UCLA.

Google can be so informative!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

This weekend is: buy tiles for kitchen backsplash, clean house, go to Harry Potter, Pilates class, yardwork, play Mafia Wars on Facebook, get some writing done.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I just got back from interring Dad's ashes. We're getting ready to go out to my B-i-L's boat, which I've never seen, as I'm usually in MI in the winter. We'll be spending the weekend chilling (literally, in the evening) at the lake. I suspect there may be alcohol involved for some of us. Rather, there will be alcohol involved for the set of "some of us" that includes me, if I have to reach over and pull the parking brake as we're passing a party store.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Calli - I hope that on one these trips back to Michigan, if you want to, we could meet up and meet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

People should totally try to meet Calli. She's really cool.

Same goes for Aims.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Another example of why San Francisco is awesome:

Pabst Blue Ribbon Giant Squid Mural

San Francisco Citizen has photos of the bizarre Pabst Blue Ribbon mural featuring a giant squid located on corner 7th and Stephenson in San Francisco. The mural “I Am Pabst” was created by Jacob White of Los Gatos, CA and is part of the 2009 PBR Art Contest.
