  • I know I'm late to the party, but Instapaper is a longform junkie's dream. 2012-10-10
  • No sympathy for cyclists seeking "rights" after 1 ran over Juan Carlos' paws on the sidewalk. Big ups to the Muni riders who helped calm him 2012-10-10

Poetic Justice

Robert Schwartzman is hot. Jason Schwartzman is not.

According to twitter, Robert hangs out with Joe Jonas. According to real life, Jason Schwartzman is always in really good movies.

Wait. They’re both cousins with Nicolas [...]

Stepping up onto my soapbox

I follow politics. Or rather, I live with someone who follows politics, so every nuanced caveat of every single major bill in Congress is a blockbuster Imax JAWS kind of moment in my household. Brian looks at Gwen Ifill like other guys check out centerfolds. If Jon Stewart has said it, he’s heard it and repeated [...]

OMG Yawn.

Went hiking with Brian again today. Some redwood forest in Oakland, chock full of babbling brooks, muddy patches and unexpected hills. Muscles are crackling with lactic acid [...]

Warm pants out of the dryer first thing on a winter morning good!

Harriet and Wendy Discuss Their Yogurts in Minor Indulgences.
BY MICHAEL McGRATH

- – – -

“Oh my god, Wendy, wow, this yogurt is snow day good.”

“Harriet, this right here is statutory good.”

“Let’s see… this is open bar good.”

“Harriet, this is definitely post-Brazilian Percocet good.”

“Hmmm. This is, ahhhh, cash-in-the-laundry good.”

“Nah, this is more [...]

Precious Territory

When I started to tell people I was moving to San Francisco, they invariably wanted to know why I felt like picking up all my junk and sending it across the country. I didn’t have much of a reason I could articulate, except that I had visited and really liked it. That visit came [...]

In the last two weeks…

1. Our ceiling has collapsed because of a clogged shower drain above us.

2. Our kitchen sink drain caused the ceiling in the lobby to leak water.

3. We blew a fuse with the toaster oven.

4. One of our windows spontaneously broke.

5. Our hot water tap in the kitchen stopped working.

Living in a charming, prewar apartment with lots [...]

恭喜发财

Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. There is little I love more than to watch people who have no reason to be bitter be bitter. Unless you have a really hard time finding someone you love- affectionately, sisterly/brotherly, platonic, BFFL, whatever- then quit the bitching. I don’t really get why it has become a [...]

Newsy Update!

Other than my ceiling collapse, what’s new with me?

Still jobless, which kind of sucks, since I think Brian is starting to tire of my constant be-slippered presence in our house.

I started running. I know, people. Marie? Cardio? WTF? My preferred form of exercise is yoga, and apparently there aren’t any places looking for dedicated bathroom-swabbers in [...]

RIP Book Nook

It’s been raining here a lot since we moved in, which I don’t really mind, because, whatever, it could be snow. Rain, psh, NBD, I can handle you. It’s been clear the last few days, but the rain resumed this afternoon, gently but distinctly pattering down our gutters. It’s a noise I’ve gotten very used to [...]

Team Barack, Team Jacob

Listening to B vocally agree with a video of Obama taken this AM at the Senate Democratic Conference.

He’s listening to me vocally agree with the bloggers who all think Robert Pattinson is hot (although Jacob is a better guy, you know?).

Our interests rarely [...]
