Yesterday we had tremendous fun. We visited with a new Icarus friend on Mare Island. He and Ming played pool. Then we went to Oakland and spent the day with my good mail friend / zine friend S-N. It was our first time meeting in person–she lives in Minnesota. She’s around for San Francisco Zine… Read More »
This morning Ming was gardening at a friend’s house, and I went by myself to the church food giveaway. I went at 9:20 and there was already a huge line. Eventually Ming arrived, done gardening. By the time we got up to the front at 10:15 or so, the produce was mostly gone. We got… Read More »

I can hear the neighbors talking downstairs. One is going to Burning Man soon. I think I will never make it–too expensive. And… Read More »
I didn’t blog yesterday because the main activity of the day was divorce forms. Nobody wants to hear about that! Yuck! And the landlord’s dad needs to fix the wall under the kitchen sink which they knocked out weeks ago in order to get at a leak. Ming described the multi-step process to me, and… Read More »
Here is my personal transcription of my new favorite song, my theme song, “A Little Bit Weird” by Kepi Ghoulie. Everybody is a little bit weird. And it’s okay to be a little bit weird. Something to be celebrated and not to be feared. All of us are a little bit weird. Ketchup on your… Read More »
