The Loot

So after the bars close late last Thursday night, I find myself walking down a mostly-empty Market street towards home. I make the turn at Walgreens to start heading south, and find that the large glass window facing 9th street is freshly smashed, with pellets of safety glass still tinkling down onto the sidewalk.

It's not clear whether the two guys in front of the window were the ones that actually did the smashing, but what is clear is that they're stealing a rice cooker from the window display.

Guy 1: "Dude! Open your backpack."

Guy 2: (opens backpack) "Shit!" (drunkenly giggles)

Guy 1: "Here you go man, a rice cooker. From......Jesus!"

Guy 2: (drunkenly giggles)

Halloweenie

I realized, as I sat at an outdoor cafe with my mother yesterday, that I couldn't say- not with 100% confidence, anyway- who was in costume and who wasn't.

Politics

The candidates for Mayor of San Francisco met for a debate on Thursday night. Then they were attacked by zombies.

Um, Sorry?

The street where Alex and I live is a little one-way residential jobber, running from mildly ghetto main thoroughfare to another mildly ghetto main thoroughfare. It's a quiet little island of divided-up run-down Victorians amidst a sea of public housing, bike shops, and Filipino markets. At least, this is what I tell myself.

And around 3 o'clock this morning, this was confirmed by a series of crashes, curses, and then a very loud, very aggrieved voice proclaiming "It's taking too damn long to get some crack around here!"

In A Nutshell

Overheard today on the 14:

Guy: I need to shave my legs. I'm getting, like, knee dreadlocks.
Girl: Wait, what? How?
Guy: From all the blowjobs. Seriously, I have, like, little knee-hair dreadlocks.
Girl: You're like the Rastafarian Blowjob King of San Francisco.
Guy: We should be smoking weed right now.
