Thursday morning, I wake around 6:30 but don't crawl out of bed until 7:30. I try not to wake anyone as I shower and sneak out for breakfast. I check out the nearby Broken Yolk, but it looks too expensive to eat at alone. So I walk to the Cheese Shop, recommended to me by Cat, who grew up in San Diego. The prices are actually kind of similar, but ( Read more... )

You totally know what I did at Comic-Con. But you want details, pictures! Well, five of you do.

( Getting to Comic-Con )

I will have epic posts with pictures next month, but I'm not even done writing down notes to refresh my mind grapes! I'm sure you all want to know how totally awesome Comic-Con was, though, so here goes. Even though I will totally be ruining any suspense and surprise in the longer story, as told.

I totally met taraljc and heard her unplaceable accent. We ( Read more... )

Last year, I told Sandeep Parikh I would watch The Legend of Neil, so before I see him this year, I figured I would actually catch up on his webseries. Which is about-I kid you not, it is well described in the theme song-a guy who, while drunkenly playing The Legend of Zelda, masturbates to the fairy and asphyxiates himself with the controller and ( Read more... )

My Saturday plans were to include a sly Netflix gambit of watching a movie and returning it the same day, but the last pick-up was at 2:30, and my mail did not arrive in time! So instead I went to the comic book store and dropped off postcards for the SF Olympians Festival and geeked out about Justice League. Then I visited Jess and Colin and met ( Read more... )

This weekend was doubly exciting, for not only was it a celebration of the release of Feed but also Rae was in town! HERE COME THE GERUNDS.

( Bad jokes! Awesome Tweets! Cartoon theme songs! Ice cream! Cupcakes! Zombies! )

If Doctor Strange: The Oath and/or The Losers are relevant to your interests, you should check out my post from late Friday night.

Now I present yesterday's Adventure in Facebook. The set-up: remember this bunny guy on BART from last weekend? Remember Amy, whom I met at Heidi's out-of-debt party in January? You don't have to; that's why I have ( Read more... )

This weekend, aprilbegins flew up to visit me! And some other friends, but mostly me. And some other friends. So she got to be part of a very long list of gerunds-with bonus sentences.

A few days ago, I discovered that Javier Grillo-Marxuach, creator of TV's The Middleman, was coming up here for Writers with Drinks, a monthly literary spoken-word variety show. Javi and I met three years ago at an 826michigan event, and he seemed to like me. He sent me a nice message when I found him on Facebook last year, and he was excited to ( Read more... )

In the last couple weeks, I've been to a lot of unconventional theatre.

Thanks to cofax7, I got to see American Idiot at Berkeley Rep for free the night before Halloween ($0), and I loved it so much I saw it again last night ($26). Now, I fully admit that my opinion about this show is heavily biased since I am a huge Green Day fan and think American ( Read more... )
