eh...

i feel bad for anybody trying to watch Six Feet Under on Bravo. you're probably missing 75% of the show. like the WB (or UPN or whatever) trying to air Sex And The City ...doesn't make much sense.

oh yeah, VOTE TOMORROW! ANGELIDES! (and not just because he's Greek)...

just found this poem on the backcover of Summer Stock 3...

presumably written by one of the editors, Jared "Strawberry Daiquiri" Hayes or Andy "Where's Waldo" Peterson...


What To Do If You Meet...

Boom Boom Sakkis

Don't bother to run — death and taxes are inevitable

Paste fur on your face, snort and pretend you're one of them.

Might as well enjoy what it conjures up. Just think happy thoughts and
you'll get what you want.

Try to slide away or roll down mountain, they're not too fast.

Watch for web, throw Molotov cocktails.

Call for the lone ranger.

Hand him some sunscreen.

Wear rubber gloves if you shake hands with him. Shake with your left.

forgot to charge the camera battery.

things i would've taken pictures of had i remembered:

Amigo Calle Court

Paige's laundry

duraflame bonfire

the two Mission Blvd.'s

the beach house that was actually, like, on the beach

Aptos boardwalk

the hot tub overlooking the ocean

the bedroom overlooking the beach overlooking the ocean

the sunrise

the surfer kids

the drive home with Casual Fog on the car stereo

Ibrahim Muhawi was born in Ramallah, Palestine, in 1937, and has taught at universities in USA, Canada, UK, Germany, and the Middle East, since 1980 devoting his studies to Palestinian and Arabic folklore, literature and civilization, and work in translation. His books include Speak, Bird, Speak Again: Palestinian Arab Folktales (UC Press, 1989) and the extraordinary translation of and introduction to Memory for Forgetfulness by Mahmoud Darwish (UC Press, 1995), a powerful work written after the 1982 Israeli bombing of Beirut.

Rick London, born in Detroit in 1948, has lived in San Francisco since 1974. Author of several books of poetry (Picture With Moving Parts the latest, 2002), he co-translated with Omnia Amin a chapbook of recent poetry by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish entitled Now, As You Awaken (new from Sardines Press/Rumor Books).

"Fiji's military commander warned on Thursday that the prime minister's refusal to resign over a dispute between the two men could plunge the coup-prone South Pacific nation into bloodshed."

Gunfire At Castro Halloween Party; At Least 10 Wounded

and that's why i stay away from the Castro on Halloween.

last year it was stabbings. the year before that it was gay bashing with live chainsaws.

i'd rather stay in Concord and make beats with David.
