27Apr09 Late Night Eating in San Francisco
Late Night Eating in San Francisco
I found this list in a random Facebook group on SF nightlife… it may have finally solved my problem of not knowing where to eat food and get coffee while doing work in the middle of the night — very few places in San Francisco are open 24/7 (at least compared to NYC). Now if they have wireless internet, I think I’m golden…

This website rarely gets updated with anything personal because I actually like talking to people in person to communicate personal things. If any of you who read this actually care about that sort of thing:
I moved to San Francisco. I like it here and I’m happy. I think I am going to stop sporadically moving across the country or to different countries for awhile.
I also have been working on recreating the bizarre genre of italo-disco with my friend Jeff. Thus far we have recorded two songs —
A B
The plan is to stay true to form and write a shitty love song from the perspective of a foreign person who does not really speak English. Or, alternately, just write a shitty love song and translate it in and out of Italian and English using an online translator until it seems right.

Rednecks get fooled by CNN..
…although can you really blame them? Headline News seems to be produced for middle school kids who have a hard time understanding the board game Risk.
Oh, and thanks to Petey Gil-Montlor from whom I grabbed these images. Petey and I recently spent several hours watching Trinity Broadcast Network in the midst of a hurricane while stranded in a shitty hotel that had been used to house Katrina refugees outside Houston… all in a failed attempt at converting ourselves to Fundamentalist Christians.

Friday, 10PM @ Circle K
Couple sitting outside of convenience store; the woman is giving a tarot card reading and one of her boobs is hanging out of her vaguely Indian looking hippie dress, while her partner periodically feeds her beef jerky and doritos by dangling them above her mouth as if she were a puppy being given a treat.
As she mumbles about the air and stars, a man gets out of his Prius wearing a leopard print leather suit with a tuxedo shirt underneath and cowboy boots on his feet. He pumps his gas and slowly approaches the couple, whom he proceeds to pay to have his fortune read. He listens attently and even snags a few pieces of jerky before entering the store where he purchases a pack of Marlboro Reds. Meanwhile, the couple gets up and leaves.
I am still unsure whether getting someone to pay to have their fortune read was the couple’s plan all along - but they left abruptly as if their time at Circle K was complete.

Biking drunk on a fixed-gear bike: The Aftermath
35mph to 0mph in about 1 second. My ribs don’t look much different.
Life Lessons Learned:
1. Tequila works as an anti-septic if you have no other form of strong alcohol available (IMO vodka is better for cleaning wounds — burns a bit less) and are too injured to go to the 24 hour Riteaid to purchase a proper anti-septic.
2. The downside is that you will probably not be able to stomach drinking tequila after masochistically dowsing your wounds in it. In fact, I would say this experience is just like drinking too much tequila, getting sick, and then subsequently not being able to drink tequila for weeks or months.

Best reason to use Google maps…
… Figure out who has a rabbit hutch, then proceed to behead the rabbits and keep the heads.
Most of the beheaded pets were hidden from public view, locked away in back yards or back gardens.
It has raised the possibility that the killer has been using satellite images on the internet to find houses with rabbit hutches.

“Loft - Best Suited for Midget!”
This ad recurs every other day. They still haven’t found anyone who wants to live in a 4 ft tall (”CANT STAND UP IN!!!”) loft full of weed and cigarette smoke in a trailer park. I wonder if he isn’t using the word “loft” creatively and doesn’t really mean closet.
“Female Housemate Wanted - Cabin in the middle of nowhere!”
You really have to wonder what this guy’s expectations are. “Hey random female, come live in acres of isolated wilderness for suspiciously low rent with me a creepy bearded guy, and my ugly-looking dog.” This is totally going to work out for him. WTF?
He might as well title the ad “Hey, come get raped in a beautiful mountain setting – and pay me $85 dollars!” A liberal translation of “$290/mo + electric or 85/wk, Panoramic Mountain Views” would read: “If you want to get raped for a whole month that will be $290 / month. You can enjoy panoramic views while being raped. Oh, and I like to commit my rapes with the light on, so you have to help pay the electric bill for the duration of your stay.”
