From now on, I’m going to make an effort to take more pictures. I think it’ll spice up my blog. Keep in mind, I am a bad photographer so don’t expect much, but a couple pics to tell a couple…
Movie Night: Brazil
Dean hosted the last movie night. He picked the very strange sci-fi movie Brazil. It was so bad I had to excuse myself for part of it. I couldn’t take it anymore. Apologies to our movie club attendees. I promise…
Money Monday: She Works Hard for The Money
Finally, the City and County of San Francisco sent me a check for $480! This is a refund of the money I paid for ‘allegedly’ running a red light. I went to court, bravely, to fight the charge and walked…
Thoughts on the Election Losses from an Ex-Republican
I have no qualms stating that I used to be a Republican—even though I’m decidedly pro-choice, pro-affirmative action, went to one of the most liberal universities in the country, and live in a very liberal locale. I was proud to…

Talent Inequality
The other night, we watched a friend of ours perform at a theater that was two blocks away from where we live. Had never heard of the Virago theater which is located next to Ruby Skye. We even passed right…
Unfortune 500
You know how they have the Fortune 500? They should have a list that they call the Unfortune 500 for the top worst companies in the nation. At the top of the list? Kaiser Permaneglecte I know I continue to…
