shrift! Some details about those addresses.

The first one on Duboce is near two very nice neighborhoods (Duboce Triangle, and Lower Haight) BUT is directly on the N-Judah line so you'd have train traffic and some noise.

The one on Laguna is sort of an odd-lot neighborhood. You've got stuff from the Lower Haight, and not too far from Hayes Valley. But it's really on the route to the freeways, as there's a major conduit that that goes to the on-ramp to Silicon Valley (which could be a plus for you).

And the one on Golden Gate is basically near the Divisidero neighborhood (where Jen K. used to live) and there's lots of good stuff there. Also it's close--ish to Japantown and the Upper Fillmore, so that would have a lot of pluses.

Thanks, David! I think the one on Golden Gate is the only one with in-unit W/D, which is an extra point in its favor. The leasing agent is going to take me around on the 17th, and she'll send me what units are available on the 16th.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am trying to figure out if what we got counts as rain

I don't think I can bring judgment to bear.

I have to stay awake until 10, maybe 10:30 to get my cheesecake chilling or no breakfast.

That's why I've seen it. I knew it looked familiar. So pretty.

I think I need to just sit for a while and put on an episode of Bob's Burgers.

Good call. I'll almost always support this plan. Also, peach cocktail sounds damn good. I had a peach earlier, not a cocktail, but it did make me think that low carb dieting gives a whole new meaning to "do I dare to eat a peach?" (Spoiler alert, I did)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I had to double check who posted this before I could parse it correctly.

Have you guys seen the story about the dumbass who jumped up on a Broadway stage to plug his phone into a (fake) outlet on the set? He's even more of a tool than I expected. [link]

Heh. Phrasing.

This is my first exposure to that guy. He is an impressive tool all right.

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

Oh my, what a brainless little fuckwagon he is.

So despite marinating in spf50, after days in the pool in Vegas and 3 1hr swims in NM, I'm now the brownest I've been since I lived here. Places are tanned that haven't seen the sun in 20 years. Most of it, the lack of atmosphere at 4k ft. And today I spent maybe an hour shopping in Mesilla (and birthday gifted myself with an oxahcan cat figure that IS The Pumpkin) with spf30 and have a slight sunburn on my arms. Or maybe it was the trio of 15 minute walks. And tomorrow, picking up my brother and heading to the water park. I might get a full sleeve rash guard if we have time. There is no staying in the shade.

Boys were a bit obstreperous tonight, didn't get my first pick of dinner places, but I do love the place we went. And because I like my strawberry shortcake with a sconey biscuit like cake and barely sweetened real whipped cream, the boys were like eh. MOAR FOR ME! But they gave me sweet handmade cards and shaped up when I fake tantrumed 'my birthday, suck It!'

I get better behavior from them when I usurp grandparental authority; I'm mean aunty, but they know exactly what I will and will not put up with. My damned parents spoil them! I know it's their job, but the endless negotiation makes me nuts.

Glad I'm here. Glad I had a Me vacation before this. And glad I had a couple of nephews to take out any tsuris I might've forgotten to blow off over turning 40. I mean, I had to threaten to bite Tyler when he tried to open MY presents!

It is honestly raining out there!

Bay Area, so weird. It was cold enough tonight that I wore a leather jacket and wool scarf on my way into the city, and then it rained! WTF, California, it's July!
