Menomena - Last Show?!

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Sad! Mike, Brady and I may have witnessed the end of Menomena! During the recent show at the Independant, Danny, or maybe it was Justin, spoke of this being their last show. Haven’t read anything about it yet so I hope it was just some random banter by the band members.

Happy Birthday Little Brother!!!

An amusing piece by George Saunders in the New Yorker titled My Gal. Also check out the video Pale by Comparison from satirical illustrator Steve Brodner, as part of his Naked Campaign series. I’m a fan of Brodner’s political cartoons which can be found here

For the most part, Mike’s cleaning lady does a solid job. However, she’s in the habit of randomly leaving cleaning items (or cans of Red Bull) in the apartment in odd places. See exhibits A, B and C below for a few items that were left behind and documented. (Note: The shelf on top of [...]

My Buddy!

Check out my new Buddy Int’l Italia! So cute. I love this scooter. It’s really zippy, sturdy, holds up well w/ a passenger and costs less than $5.00 to fill up! I’ve been riding it almost every day, to and from class at SF State during the week and over to the farmer’s market on [...]

First Class Cooking - UPDATE

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Mike and I replicated the meal that we learned to cook at our cooking class and had Chris and Kristi over as our taste-testing guinea pigs. I think we’d all agree that it was a success!
