Weekend relief
I didn't even work a full week, but somehow was fried and ended up asleep on my friend's couch by 8 last night as he cooked up a dinner of supreme tastiness. It was oddly reminiscent of a trip to LA last month, but minus the mojitos and roomful of women singing along to the Bruce Springtsteen collector's edition DVD. ok, the only similar things were my tired ass and sleeping.
For whatever reason, it was one of those weeks of running 10-15 minutes late to every appointment. I hates that. Other high/lowlights include:
The Amazing...not so amazing...Mets. I got on BART in the 8th with the score at 1-1. I was confident of extra innings, but 15 minutes later, I arrive at Eddie's to see Stl. leading and heartbreak in the air. I should have known that hitless innings following that basket catch by Vasquez did not bode well, but let us not dwell on the terrible.
Tan Ngyuen, Bad Asian of the Week WTF? Reep challenger to Loretta Sanchez sends stupid ass mailers telling Latinos and immigrant voters they'll go to jail if they vote. His response, "my staffer did it, it wasn't me, i didn't see it." The dude's not even in office and he's completely unaccountable.
Maybe there is hope for electeds I spun at a fundraiser for Oakland District 2 candeedate, Aimee Allison. How can you not vote for someone who invites a 70 yr old grandma dyke to read spoken work erotica? She'd be my choice if I lived in her district.
That's me, Aimee and her brother all in the dark.
Here's a shot of the DJ booth--check out the light show. Nice.
