Whew. Long week. I'm finally starting to kick this virus in the ass. I thought it was bacteria; the doctor said otherwise and he seems to be right.

My boss resigned last week, though it sounds like he got an offer he couldn't really refuse. More power to him.

Last night was the Lower Haight art walk. Mostly, it was a chance to go to...

Sorry about the latest absences y'all. I've had a month of traveling and visitors in my tiny 1BD apartment. Including my 2 1/2 year old nephew, who was here the day I got back from Singapore. Favorite quote from the tyke? "We went to the zoo, and the penguin dropped a deuce. It smelled terrible. It was funny." Smart kid, learning early that scatalogical humor...

Kids are damn funny that way. I usually get a few one liners every week, which always makes me crack the hell upbiggrin
Hope you can shake whatever bug has hold of you. I'm sure it didn't help being stuck in a flying petrie dish for that long.

So, with the last tattoo, the artist (a friend of mine) suggested this whole "classic" sci-fi theme quarter sleeve (think-covers of Amazing Stories or Omi magazines). I'm just crazy enough to start thinking about it. Robots, rocket ships, aliens, space men and women, astronauts, ray guns, etc.

What do y'all think?
aldremech:
I think it would be pretty sweet to do some of the 50's & 60's style sci-fi stuff together..

you never even showed us the first one.

and i think this should go on your leg & look like it's a detachable cyborg leg. or be a detachable cyborg leg.

News... news... news...

Yeah. Back in AZ for a wedding this weekend, then off to Singapore on business for a week (like 3 hours after I get back from AZ). Then, the following week, South Carolina for another wedding. I'm such a globetrotter. Jealous?

Rode the bike to work today again. Or rather, rode the bike to the Caltrain station, then from the Caltrain station to work. Woot. I'm all active and so forth.

Actually, it was fun. Especially in the heavy fog this morning.

Day 2 of no coffee. I've been getting up at 5:15 each morning.

This is brutal.

The trailer for this "House of the Devil" movie that they're advertising looks interesting/reflects how I'm feeling a bit right now.

It was good times. Can't you mug someone and steal their coffee in the morning?eeek

I am up entirely too early to watch the last class lecture that I missed from last week. I let it slide this weekend. We went to Berkeley on Saturday - it's a neat place, but I thought parts of it were a little too carnival-like (and not in that good way). Though part of that might have been the football game (?) or whatever...

No coffee = no leave house for work until coffee magically appears.

Last time I was in Berkeley I had the same vibe, but there was nothing going on. Just seemed too touristyconfused

Been dragging ass all week. I'm not sure why, I have this exhaustion I just can't shake. Oh, well.

Saturday is a trip to Berkeley. I've never been and always wanted to go, but I'm not 100% clear why.

One of our cats has taken lately to wandering to a corner, staring intently at nothing, and just howling. This happens for about 30-45 seconds, and...

No news this weekend. Had a fairly boring one. I did, however, get a bicycle at last. And ordered a new PC, so I can game again.

I did, however, find out that some people like to read and write stories about dinosaurs fucking people, and vice versa. Although I can honestly say, I might have been better off not knowing about that one.

Holy crap, it rained hard today. Almost too hard to walk and get alcohol. I said 'almost'.

EDIT: Also found a good place to get my hair cut. It's expensive (relatively speaking), but they do a great job, and keep the conversation along nonirritating lines. I know this thrills you all.

unfortunately, they shaved smiley faces into the back of your head & you just haven't seen it yet.

cheery scalps for the win!
