Are you, or do you know a person who knows about things like business plans, grant writing, marketing strategies and suchlike? I need to pick the brain of such a person. Likely over food and/or drinks, which will be supplied by me for the efforts.

11:44 am - Models needed
|
|
Hey, dudes! Well, not dudes. Pretty girls. My friend Lulu is starting a clothing/costuming/jewelry type business, and needs models for photo work. You can (hopefully) see some of her work on her facebook page. Search Calamity Lulu. Let me or her know if you're interested. I assume there's some sort of compensation, but idk.

1:24 pm - Do you folks like camping?
|
My roommates are going camping this weekend at some hot spring hippy naked mecca and it made me realize that I NEED TO GO MOTHERFUCKING CAMPING. But not like that. Real camping. I don't think i've camped since i moved to California, unless you count nights at strange girls' houses or that time i got locked in the trunk of a car for two days on the side of the freeway and had to fashion a tool out of the dead hooker's teeth to escape.
The weather is pretty great, this week, and things should be dried out from the recent monsoon in another day or two. But where to go? Trees are mandatory. A lake or something for swimming and maybe some kind of canoe rental is a bonus. The ability to collect your own firewood from the woods versus bringing your own is nice, but not mandatory.
Are you now, or have you ever been, a camper? If so, where do you like to go and why? Where should I go? Do you want to come with us? You will almost certainly get to see a pretty naked canadian girl at some point, and i may ask you to help me bury something in the woods. Those two statements are not necessarily related.

Hey! I know this is a long shot, but is anyone going to BAGG tonight from the east bay? The canadian wants to go, but i do not. And strangely, i'm not totally comfortable with the idea of a pretty young girl from canada making her way on public transit alone.

Howdy, y'all. What's going on tonight? And if the answer is "nothing", maybe let's go out to lanesplitters in Berkland.

Hey, guys! I am looking for a good sushi place. I have come to accept that the east bay doesn't really have any. Where are your favorites?
Specifically, i want to find a place that serves yam rolls and inari rolls. A lot of places do inari in these weird pocket things, but no one seems to do rolls.

1:06 pm - Road Trip?
|
Hey, guys, guess what. I have a dilemma. And so i'm going to post about it.
So Tessa is here, and she's been hired to photograph the RevCo/LSD/Jim Rose Circus shows in California. (which is why I went to the show at the Fillmore last wednesday, because I otherwise wouldn't have even known about it, wtf SF promoters?)
Anyway, there's a show tomorrow night in LA, and I guess it's a big deal because Al Jourgensen will be there. But tomorrow is also Folsom Street Fair and Monday there's a really good HHR show at the uptown and i guess also death chicken.
Ordinarily I'd say that any excuse to go to LA is a good one, but what with the unemployment and concerns about money, I wouldn't be able to do many of the things that make LA so fun. I don't know if I even have friends in LA anymore. I mean, in theory, yes, but you know.
So i guess what i'm looking for is people to sway me one way or the other. Does anyone up here want to make a group outing out of it? Or does anyone down there want to make plans to meet up or go out? Or, for that matter, does anyone here want to make plans here?
If we go, we'll probably leave either tonight or tomorrow in the early afternoon. Tick-tock.

Hi, guys! I'm still in canada. I figured i'd come back last week but then... I didn't. It's great here. The people are decent and polite and even the hobos are basically civilized. There are trees. And architecture. And loads and loads of really cheap sushi and beautiful people. And boats. So many boats!
I suppose i've been on kind of a retreat up here. Hiding out and reconsidering my life, sort of thing. One thing that became painfully obvious almost as soon as i set foot on the ground here is that i fucking hate oakland. I've been there long enough that i've come to accept it and sort of just not see it, maybe as a defense mechanism. But once i was out of it for five minutes, i realized that i never want to go back to it. It's dirty, it's broken, it's dangerous, and it is a massive machine producing nothing but poverty and ignorance. It is Darwinism in reverse.
And you know what? I don't really have much holding me there, anymore. I have a sweet place to live, and it will be sad to lose that, but i was already planning on buying a house before i lost my job, so i'm probably ready. It's also starting to become more trouble than i'd like, between keeping peace among roommates and peace with the landlords and peace with all the various groups who feel entitled to the space, i'm just not sure it's worth it.
I think my future geography is going to have more to do with employment than anything else.
Speaking of geography, I'm going to be in Seattle tomorrow. I know some of you live around there. Let's go out!
Okay, bye now.

There's a midnight showing of 'District 9' tonight at the Alameda Cineplex. It also just so happens that the tiki bar -- mere blocks away -- closes at the same time. Anyone fancy a double feature tonight?

Heading into SF with the Canadian. We have no firm plans beyond H&M, though we are considering things like dinner and the beach. Text me if you're free and like things that are fun and pretty. This is prime, grade-A daytime weekday hangouts, people! The kind we're all always saying we want, but never get! Also, shoes! And a pony!

You guys! The circus is coming to town! The Canadian and I are definitely, positively going. If there's enough interest, we can make it a group outing.
See schedule here: http://www.ringling.com/TourSchedule.aspx?action=details&engagementId=98464
The 12th is out, as is the 15th. I feel like thursday the 13th or Sunday the 16th are the best options, but i'll wait to get tickets until tomorrow afternoon in case anyone else wants to go.
We're going to the 5:00 PM show on Sunday the 16th.
We're going to get the VIP tickets ($40) because it's much better seating. I would not be at all surprised if tessa insists on everyone dressing up for the event. Anything with glitter and/or stripes will be smashing.
If you want in, hurry and let me know, as well as which day you prefer. Due to the limited number of VIP seats, I'm buying tickets no later than 5 PM tomorrow.

1:37 pm - OMG, shoes.
|
I sometimes wonder how i got to be 30 years old (31 in 17 days!) and never learned how to do basic things. In this case, buying shoes. Now that i'm spending most of my time at home, it occurs to me that i don't actually *own* a pair of casual "around the house" type shoes. I have boots. I have dress shoes. I have fancy running shoes. I even have a couple pairs of really expensive high-end high-fashion things. But nothing one would consider appropriate for staying in and plotting world domination in a casual setting.
I guess i'm looking for something like a sneaker? Comfort and durability are obvious priorities, but also i'd like them to be somewhat fashionable. I'd like not actually to die of embarrassment should i need to leave the house in them or have company drop in or walk past a mirror.
I flipped around on some big shoe websites, but so far nothing appeals. It's all just really ugly garbage and WHY IS IT ALL PLAID? Who thought that was a good idea?

Hey, guys! How many of you have been to shows at the Shoreline Amphitheater? I am looking at tickets for a show next month, and there seems to be sort of a range of prices. Seats are about $100, and lawn is about $15. I can't help but think there is a reason for the heavy discount out on the grass. Advice?

5:35 pm - Course Correction:
|
Was planning to attend the Crucible Fire Arts festival in oakland tonight. I just checked, and tickets for tonight are $50. Let me say that again using text, to assist with pronunciation: FIFTY GODDAMNED DOLLLARS. For a show made up mostly of people i know doing things i've seen a hundred times already. So, essentially, no thank you. Not in this economy.
Instead, i will be pleased to announce the return of Game Night. Things are still in a bit of a chaotic state here, but I recently managed to force the main room back into some semblance of residential comfort. I think we could reasonably accommodate a few humans without fear of anyone dying horrible deaths.
It'll be the usual: pizza, drinks, games. Probably... i don't know... say 9ish?
RSVP, please.

What the hell is a "system idle process", anyway, and why is it taking up 80 to 93 percent of my CPU?
It should not take twenty seconds for my machine to respond to a keystroke.
Urge to kill, rising.
