Cracks me up/WTF

In the last month or so, I’ve had a few “dates”. Some were actually “not-dates”, as in, the person had specifically stated that they were not interested in dating, but still interested in meetin me. Ahm generally okay w. this, altho ahve resolved nawt ta dae it w. anyone who doesn’t have obvious similarities with me anymore. Cuz, Ahm So Vain….

Tha thang that cracks me up tho, is only two of those “actual dates” have resulted in me bein interested in seein tha person again. N both of thar names is sara(h). How bout that?

(haha, at least none of them spell it all stupid like!)

Anutha weekend in the Mission….

I love love LOVE the mission. Today I went out for a couple hours, bought a suitcase (thats small enuff fer carryon but big enuff ta hold stuff!), a new backpack (old one died n tha ones from werk are junk), a soft zippered hoodie (from a thrift store), a tamale, a belt, and some socks for 60 bux. I almost bought a grinder but it was too expensive – next paycheck tho!

Last night was a fun night – I went to this work/live/artspace studio in the lower Haight where a bunch of bands played and they had a bake sale to raise money to get tubes to bring light from outside into their work space and not to spend money/energy powering the tons of lights they have in there. But the really cool part was actually the journey to/from. About 9 of us met up at a local bike shop, had a beer, and then biked there together. While not Critical Mass it did give us the presence of a vehicle. We stuck to traditional bike routes so we didn’t really fawk up traffic that much, but it felt really awesome to be part of a temporary bike gang as we all made our way to alcohol and musick.

Oh, and this is my 3rd week anniversary of my near beard. here I am in my new hoodie!

Aww yeah, blogger love

Last weekend an old SUUSI friend (and if you don’t know what suusi is, then I’m going to ask you how you found my blog….) was in Berkeley for the holidays. Her and her drunk (but very nice) friend met me for hipster pizza in the mission. Laughter ensued!

See how much fun we’re having? NOW COME VISIT ME GADNABITT!

in case anyone cares about southpark…

Ah’ve watched south park faithfully since its inception. Ah very vividly remember thinking that show could either be truly awful or amazingly great. I don’t think I really pictured it making 12 seasons worth of television, but I give it props for being one of the smartest (although mostly b/c it’s so current) things on tv.

I don’t really laugh at south park anymore. I find it amusing, and sometimes clever, and often stupid, but I don’t really laugh out loud all that much watching it. That doesn’t bother me. And because it’s creators are internet friendly, it’s had a stable net presence for a few years (although I do remember back in college when I made friends w. some admin on a fileshare site, who made episodes for me so I would share them).

Anyway, you can always watch any southpark episode at the following places:
South Park Zone
South Park Studios

Other places that have caught on to the online video tips (in case someone isn’t aware)
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
NBC.COM (I watch Third Rock, The Office, and My Name is Earl)
Fox.com (New Simpsons episodes aren’t always awful, and who doesn’t love to hate House?)

Anyway Turkeys, happy day!

Why, what are yer Saturdays like?

Yesterday was a good day. Ah went to see particular type of doctor about my Carpal Tunnel problem. This doctor actually doesn’t treat Carpal Tunnel, but he does make it so that my life is a little bit easier despite tha Carpal Tunnel. He’s not cheap, and insurance doesn’t cover him, but ah only hafta see him once a year. N now ah feel pretty confident that each visit from now on will be nice and easy, just like ah want it ta be (tha one ah saw last year was a total dick). Then ah went n renewed my membership here, making my pursuit of my doctor recommended medicine much easier. Ah really am part of a special club.

And then ah dropped my bike off at tha shop fer a free tune-up. Tha place ah bought it will give it free tuneups for life, which is, “hella” sweet. They don’t always remembah my name, but they remembah my bike. Good stuff.

Finally when ah came back this was happenin outside tha BART stop (this is nawt tha first time):

Later that evenin, at tha same BART stop (otha side of tha street), thar was what looked like an “impromptu dance party” happenin, as thar were all these early 20-year olds dancing to House of Pain’s “Jump Around.”

Skip to tha end of tha nite when ah walked all 5 miles home cuz ah wasn’t timin tha busses rite. awesome.


(b is actually the starting point)

Just a few SF observations

1) It’s 72 degrees today. While that is great news for my warm-weather lovin self, it does make tha holiday-themed coffee drinks (eggnog lattes, peppermint mochas, and pumpkin pie chai) seem a little strange and unappealing.

2)SF has an abundance of people in wheelchairs. While that’s not surprising, as it’s a very handi-accessible city, ahve noticed that a LARGE majority of these folks actually push themselves with their feet. I’m not trying to be unsympathetic to their problems, but ah can’t help but think that wheelchairs were designed with people who CANT USE THAR FEET in mind.

3)When tha Board of Directors are in town (fer my jobby job) thars 50% MORE people wandering around my floor talkin to themselves.

Fired up

So, about a month or so ago, ah decided it was time ta bite tha bullet. Yes, ahd tampered w. Crazy Blind Date in tha past, but that was easy, nae commitment, lil effort. But ah surveyed how my datin experience had been werkin within my limited circle out here, n decided ah needed ta branch out. In daein so, ah embraced tha concept n practice of online dating.

Skeptically (my first real girlfriend found me on myspace – oy), ah first went to tha LIST, figuring that at least tha list would be desperate, so ahd prolly git a few decent stories out of it. Ah thought (incorrectly) that by usin craigslist, ahd be cutting through tha bullshit. Ah was wrong. Those craigslist girls don’t write back, at least nawt more then once er twice. Hah, tha most response ah gawt was to my two RANTS in which ah posted an ad, but really bitched about how shallow they were. That sure taught em!

Aftah that mishap, ah ended up signin ontae one otha datin site (won’t link it, but ahll give so many hints its impossible ta ignore – it’s free, it’s nationwide, and it’s got all these personality tests) n have met w. ups n downs. Originally, ah felt class-a ignored, but recently thangs have turned around a lil bit. In fact, tha online datin thang has resulted in 4 dates in 4 week days. It’s almost a little daunting.

Anyway, don’t expect too many juicy details, but ah dae promise ta try n let people know about how this particular social experiment is daein in vague n quantitative terms.

Oh – and I’m growing a beard next week. Git excited fer my next beard!

Sweet!

Sometime in the last two weeks my phone’s microphone died. I’m not sure when exactly, but it was sometime before my friends couldn’t hear me using the handset. So I went to tha Sprint store, expecting some of thar legendary anti-customer service. Instead, ah was told that they would try to fix it fer 35 bux, or they could give me a replacement (even though my phone isn’t insured anymore, and nevah was w. them!).

They couldnt fix, n my phone is out of stock, so they said they would check ta see if it was backordered because ah didn’t want tha “similar replacement” which from my understandin is still a musick phone, but sucks royally in comparison ta tha one ah have. They hadn’t gawten back ta me, so ah came back today expectin ta just suck it up n git tha shitty phone, ta find that my phone had come in. They suped it up, n were so distracted by how long it took, fergawt ta charge me!

Shhh!

3 thangs (in non-chronological ordah)

1) Holy Shit, BARACK OBAMA IS PRESIDENT! Makes me feel like all tha time ahve spent supportin his supporters online n siftin through nasty anti-obama emails was nawt in vain. SF is rippin shit up outside, whoopin n hollerin n dancin. Haven’t heard anythang like it since livin in Bawstan near fenway park. All in all, I’m glad, but really ahm more relieved then anythang – relieved its ovah so werk ken slow down, n relieved that sarah palin wasn’t a heart attack away from bein president.

2)Last week marked my 1-year anniversary on tha “left coast” as my east-coast friends keep referrin ta it. Monday, Oct. 27th actually. Thas a lil crazy ta think about.

3)ah need ta stop readin too much about wrist injuries online yet keep readin enuff so an incompetent/negligent docktah doesnt mis-diagnose me. Ahve recovered from all parts of my fall except thars still pain in my left wrist, n if thars somethang that needs ta be done about it, lets dae it now!
