East Coast Epiphany
The company conference on the East Coast is over. After a 3:30 a.m. ride to SFO by my Brazilian friend that drives for Uber, my Monday started much earlier than usual. Normally I would have packed lighter for a 2-night stay, but both Newark, New Jersey and New York City were predicting rain. Thus, I … Continue reading
The Three C’s – Cinema, Crime & Concerts
The week before last I was made aware of the CAAMFest (i.e. Center for Asian-American Media Film Festival) via something posted on Facebook. I thought I knew about most of the film festivals that take place in San Francisco, but had never heard of this one. I checked out the schedule since it started the … Continue reading
Bah! Humbug!
The holiday season has been here for awhile, but my holiday spirit disappeared about 10 years ago. When I lived in L.A., Christmas was my favorite holiday. I loved shopping, wrapping the presents, selecting and mailing the cards, decorating the tree, listening to Christmas music and watching other’s open their presents. The tree had to … Continue reading
Musical Tuesday
Since it’s about 12:45 a.m., that means it’s Musical Tuesday. We skipped Musical Monday because my Brazilian friend and I decided to stop in at Ideale for a drink (and a bite to eat for her), then were heavily engaged in a “bitch” session about jobs (or lack thereof), having to live with roommates, men, … Continue reading
Musical Mass Confusion Monday
I’m all over the place today; lots on my mind. The new roommate, Austin, was by this evening to pick up his key, pay the rent and begin moving his things. He said that he’d probably have to make 6 or 7 trips, though I think he was only here once. He said that he’d … Continue reading
Chill Out Sunday
My morning started off with the matinee of “The Internship” over at AMC 14 at 1000 Van Ness. Even though both Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are usually relatively funny, this movie kind of fell short. It was about them losing their jobs as salesmen, then applying for and getting internships at Google, although they’re … Continue reading
Let The Games Begin
In reality, the games (in this case, the search for a new roommate) have already begun. They officially commenced Wednesday night and will be over this coming Tuesday night. I advertised the room on Sunday night and was immediately inundated with something in the realm of 30 E-mails, with about 10 to 15 more each … Continue reading
It’s Been An Interesting Week
On Wednesday afternoon, A. texted me to see if I’d like to meet up at Panta Rei. I said “Maybe,” but specified that it would be least 6:30 p.m. or after. My plans, as always, were to have a few drinks and call it a night. I arrived at Panta Rei first. The bartender, Roberto, … Continue reading
