I had arranged for the plumber to come and replace a faulty part in a fire sprinkler today, 3 hour window, and complete no-show.
I call them up to see what's going on, and the reply I get is:

- Oh, is that the time. Well, he can come over now, if you're not going out somewhere.
I inform him that I am, and point out that I cleared my schedule because of the appointment.
- Oh, I thought you were home anyway.

Is it because I am female? Do we all stay within the four doors of the home all day:)?

This is the same company who thought I asked for Pita bread, by the way.

Passport applications - it is all about timing. Bay area peeps will have to wait until September, unless they feel like they have the time and the $$$ to go to Washington.
I remember the day I got my first passport, at the local post office.

Vetiver - To Baby

I can't find a video to this song, so might want to listen to it while you do something else, maybe sip a cup of green tea, or something.

- Hi, may I speak to Peter, please.
- PeeTaar?
- Yes. Peter.
- You're looking for pita? As in the food?
- No, as in P E T E R. The man.
- Oh, Peedöör. I see. He's not here today.

Happy day

If you don't detect leaks, don't fix pipes and don't deal unless accessible, IE right in front of you, are you then, by definition, a plumber?

And if you don't actually cover anything, are you still an insurance company?

A few questions that has kept me busy today.

A young Swedish couple next to me at Boulange tried their hardest to converse in American with each other, and then fell back in to Swedish after a while without noticing. Then they moved to another table, saying:
- Let's go sit there, so no one can hear what we say.

Euhm, yes please.

Definiteley not the best picture of this event, but imagine a bunch of these, at night, drunk, trying to get out of north beach.

Aura

Today an old lady on the beach stopped me and said she had caught my aura and it ead very bright and open.

I think she happened to catch me in strong sunlight. She could read my fortune too if I wanted.
Only $10.

This is an inspirational speech!

Goodmorning sunshine.

I found something disturbing in my fresh chocolate croissant from the bakery on the corner of Grant and Union this morning.
It can only be best described as the thicker part of a sizable rat's whisker.
I wish I could submit picture evidence but I was too busy trying not to throw up.

How to spend Thanks Giving alone

Sail your yacht around the bay on a freezing cold day.

Beautiful

The day after Thanks

2011-11-25T09:31:00.000-08:00

The old Chinese lady across the road was looking out the window yesterday, as she does every day. I don't know if I felt worse for her not having anyone to eat dinner with, or for there not being any people outside to look at.
The streets were very quiet yesterday. Only an argument in Jasper Street between husband and wife. The husband slammed his car door and drove away.

Happy Thanks!

Whole Foods parking on California. What a torture chamber.
I scratched the side of my car today, trying to squeeze it into a "big car" space only big enough for a motorcycle.
After I had waited for a space to become available for about 20 minutes.

I left and went to Mollie Stones instead. Where the really narrow isles make me really claustrophobic.
So overall, a really stress-free Thanks Giving food shopping experience.

Wow,
I just took a look at my blog, and realized that it is very sparse between my posts.

Plush.
I love that word.
