Yesterday I didn't go to work, instead I cleaned my bearings till they spun forever, slapped on some new wheels grabbed my board and headed to San Francisco's Presidio.
I had been looking at the ride recommendations on David Prices SK8SanFran website, and followed his advice and went to check out Park Blvd. It is fucking unreal. If you have a Freebord or longboard and...

I would be upset if my picture wouldn't come into focus too! good luck with that.
gah... the weeks grind by at the big scary biotech company. My cubicle is too cold, and the window makes a haunted whistling sound. The smell of tar from a nearby construction project makes it seems like we are somewhere in Dante's Inferno instead of near the marshes by SFO.

Happy Thanksgiving
Roadrash. IMy left hip is covered in roadrash. I was longboarding down Golden Gate Ave, carving my way down to reduce speed. It was perfect. The moist fog on my face, gravity working for me - I felt like the master of time, space and dimension.

thanks for the comment. hope you like the story.
so, my boss has this advanced copy of maxx barry's newest, "jennifer government" sitting untouchd on his desk, and i keep circling around, hoping for a moment to grab it and say, "hey, how is this?" i figure, it's right there, virgin-spined, unattached, and he'll say, "oh, our doubleday rep just left it with me. i don't really know his stuff. you want it?"
"i suppose," i'll reply, and snatch it from him.
but, the oppurtunity never presents itself, much as i lurk near his door.
and now, he's got a stack of papers on the book. and i go and talk to him, and the book is right there, and if i grab it he'll think, "how did he see that under the pile of papers? did he know it was there? does he spend a lot of time just searching my desk when i'm away? what's going on? should i fire him?"
so, i can't make a play for it. damn it.

My wife knit me a sweater with a big skull on it. I wore it on MUNI though the Haight yesterday, and I'm pretty sure all the gutter-punks were jealous. My wife should become a knitwear designer but she's too hooked on big $$$ from her phonephreak job to gamble on herself.
I went to a medical marijuana club in SF the other day and met the AI scientist who made the AliceBot (http://alice.sunlitsurf.com/). His name is Richard Wallce, there was an article about him in the New York Times Sunday Mag a few months ago. He's one of those mad scientist types.

My best friend is moving away, so I'm melancholy today. He is selling all his things and travelling/working in europe indefinately. Just sold his car, which ws the last thing holding him down. He is lighter than air now, and will blow away if there is the slightest breeze.

I was walking to my morning BART train and I kept smelling smoke. No sirens. Just whiffs of some kind of chemical fire. Still no sirens. Wondering where the hell the fire dept. was, I start swiveling my head around to locate the burning building, the source of the smoke. I finally notice the drunk who had been walking infront of me for some time....

Wow. I would've been sorely tempted to walk behind him and watch his coat burn. Just to see how long before he noticed, and what he would do when he did.
Nasty girl, this one.

Thanks for the comment on the boards, I just wanted to post that your picture fucking rocks!
Gah the weeks grind by at my big scary biotech company. Nobody has any social skills, I swear half the company is so painfully shy that they barely function socially. Scientists and IT guys, lots of talent from SE Asia... most of them freaks. Really smart people who are focused on just one thing to the exclusion of the rest of the world. Anyone play...

Your writing has the feeling of good autobiographical fiction. Good details, detached and aware. Right on. I mean, write on.

Wow... Sounds like you had quite the ride... but too bad that it fucking rained like hell last night. Ugh. Oh well... sometimes when Im around the city I think "wow this place would fuckin' great for _____ (insert trick here)" or whatever else... thanks for the link.
I guess I should probably update my journal, eh? one of these days...
