I always talk about Chekov and in Chekov's lit people are always talking about the Turgenev Novels, so i went out and got one of those, a play actually. A month in the Country. I think i remember some awesome BBC adaptation where the costumes and sets were outlandish and everyone spoke with hushed importance. The play is super long but ends really fast when three of the 7 characters decide to pick up and leave. Its so fast that only one of them even gets out the door before the last line. Thats my style!!!
Today I went to Coit tower in SF. Around the base of Coit tower are Murals Painted by Diego Rivera, Its been years since I've seen them, they are both gorgeous and hold secret communist messages.
Whenever Coit tower is mentioned its usually a penis joke,
Example 1 (some weeks ago)
My Grandmother -- Coit Tower was built to look like a firehose... I think it looks like something else.
Fred -- Which is still a hose...
Example 2 (today)
Me -- I'm at Coit tower!
Tom -- I have Coit tower in my pants!
I don't have a penis joke so please feel free to tell yourself your favorite penis joke right now.
Beneath Coit tower I found an AWESOME store filled will all sorts of asian antiques. I bought a beautiful LINED silk kimono. ITS PINK! and its handmade. I've been going all sorts of places alone lately, Altamont Pass to climb the hills, Berkeley for dinner and shopping, and today SF. I'm totally disney movie-convinced that I'll run into some awesome stranger in my "travels." But usually I just get hollered at from all directions. At this point in my life my hair attracts more attention than ANYTHING I'VE EVER DONE. Its fun about half the time. Nobody wants to talk to me they just wanna gawk at me. So back to my point, today I had a LONG conversation with a fat Wall-eyed man wearing a shirt with puffy sleeves. Its was a triumph because it was both a conversation with a stranger and ****doublesuper bonus points**** the dood wasn't hitting on me.
OH they also had AMAZING PILES of opium pipes caked with 18th century opium. Once the nice dood who was helping saw that I liked the pipes he kept calling people over says "she's interesed in pipes ehhh?"
That was North Beach today, that and the tomato slice that slid off my pizza and into my shirt.
Whats awesome about Northbeach? GOOD pizza and Italian flags painted around everything pole shaped. They need to put some italian stripes on Coit tower too.... ehh???? penis joke sorta???
