I rarely have time to listen to music, except during my commute. However tonight I stumbled across My Bloody Valentine's Rarities 1 CD... divine listening experience *swooon*
The boy and I went and got our ears pierced/stretched on Sunday. I went from a 10g to 6g, cuz the guy said, "No problem, I can see right through them." So as he's stretching them, one side is so tight that the tapering rod got stuck. Yah.. should have know then to stick with 8g... cuz now, three days later, my ears are very...

hey i just realized you were born my same year....i thought everyone was 12 around here...
I've managed to squeeze in some reading time during my 30 minute lunch break at work. I don't make it downtown anymore, and now I know why that's not such a bad thing. According to local papers, the Downtown Association is trying to revamp it into a posh playground for the rich, chasing away any hopes of the alternative nightlife that once existed, minus one...

I used to work for the Downtown Association, and I can tell you first hand that that's not true...they don't have the power to do that. Perhaps they mean the Redevelopment Agency? Was the article in the Mercury? I'd like to read it.

Eh, last week's Metro is already off the stands. I'll see if I can scrounge one up.
The Downtown Association is a non-profit, with a staff of ten people. They have a board of directors comprised of about 35 downtown business owners, and the Association acts on their (and the rest of the downtown business owners, for that matter) behalf. They can go to the Mayor or the city council and say, "here's something the downtown businesses are concerned about." But that's about it. They really have no say as to what kind of business opens, as long as it's legal. (and the executive director is very cool...several years ago, he was advocating for a skate park!)
However, the city is notorious for the mass of red tape businesses (especially new ones) have to wade through, and the Redevelopment Agency (who I fucking hated dealing with when I worked at the SJDA) has had a reputation for trying to force out businesses they don't like, and force in businesses that they do (with predictable results - Zanottos, the Pavilion Mall, the UA Theatre, etc., all closed due to lack of business). It's a frustrating, political, bureaucratic mess
Oops, I'm probably going on too long. Let's talk more over rum and cokes at the Caravan!

We went to the SG show in San Fran this weekend. It was so damn worth the trek, and the handful of weirdos that sidled up to any girls with tats that could possibly be from the site. Very interesting crowd.

Thanks again for suggestions in SF. I met a really cool tattoo artist from Portland while staying at the Phoenix Hotel. Trouble maker. I'm actually thinking about getting him to do a tattoo of my logo when he blows into NY in August- crazy.
What are you up to?

r3v and I went over the hill and got ourselves some ink today. I've been yammering on for weeks and weeks about doing this, I'm sure he's glad its over 
He got a jolly roger on his shoulder, its so damn awesome. mmm piratey goodness. And, started my half sleeve, which is bits from Sleeping Beauty. mainly, Maleficent (hence mali).
oooooh it burns

My sister has TiVO and I totally covet it. Talk about convenience...when (if?) I ever go back to TV, I'm definitely getting one of those.
I might go to the SF show...definitely the SJ show....
Have fun in Monterey
