Ranting about Haggling
So on a recent post on how to haggle at the Fashion District, most people say "be polite". I agree with this. Some one said, "don't say so and so had it for cheaper because it's not polite". Screw that. If you don't seriously haggle with some of these people, it can be considered impolite. Some cultures take haggling tactics seriously and if you do ( Read more... ) -
Wine Country Adventures!
I love wine country! No, not that wine country, the "other", road less taken wine country. I've rapidly grown a vast affinity for Sonoma Valley Wine County (eastern Sonoma county). I first went there Tuesday, entertaining a friend who is in town and had a blast. I only went to two places, Benzinger and Mayo. Benzinger had quite the extensive tour ( Read more... ) -

Moving started on December 17th and ended on January 6th. Looking forward to celebrating X-mas this year as last year it was spent ( Read more... ) -

I'm also going to be sculpting some feet (just the toes) and will be casting it with 2 part foam mix. This makes the style consistent, saves time, and wasted foam bits which are annoying and add up in garbage bags ( Read more... ) -

Pigeon Task Force: Mission Complete!
I often make up a bird-world, or shows in my head. One of them is PTF:SF:BDLR which stands for: Pigeon Task Force: San Francisco: Broken-Down Land Rover, or Pigeon Task Force for short. I even sing a theme song to it. PTF stars the members of my flock. It's a combination of Adam West Batman meets Scooby Doo. Pigeons solve mysteries ( Read more... ) -

Wow...
So I was sure that I posted a Meyer's Briggs Personality test result somewhere in my journal, some where. I spent an hour reading through 4 years of entries. All I can say is wow, and then feel pretty embarrassed. I feel embarassed because I wrote some silly sounding depressing journals. Yes, I was very depressed for a couple of years and very ( Read more... )
