The next petition I intend to sign is going to be this one . I sincerely hope it gets on the November ballot. Demorcacy in action! Honor G.W. Bush by naming SF's sewage treatment plant after him. Yay! I love SF! 
update: it's on the ballot!!!

Ever been to *@#$% heaven? Last night I revisited the freaks of '86 at the Castro Theater. A double feature of probably my favorite David Lynch film, Blue Velvet, and Jonathan Demme's Something Wild. I remember the freakishness of Lynch's masterpiece, but it's so much freakier on the big screen with a room full of people. Dennis Hopper as an Oedipal gangster huffing nitrus, Isabella Rossellini as a tortured night club singer, and fresh faced Kyle MacLachlan, pre-Twin Peaks, looking for trouble with a teenage (role) Laura Dern. How could you go wrong? This is the most entertaining freak fest from Lynch ever. Oh, and I can't forget Dean Stockwell in his queenliest role ever, complete with lip syncing to Elvis and sucker punching. 

Followed by the most bizarre Demme film I've ever seen. 8o's cheese to the max. Jeff Daniels in his most entertaining role (not saying much, I admit) as a VP needing a vacation and Melanie Griffith as a con girl ready to give it to him. John Waters cameos. Ray Liotta is his usual freaky self. Good for how bad it is. Linen blue suits with white shoes. White girl obsessed with black  culture and reggae. Car chases. Stick ups. Fights. Sex.  

Yay! Guns are fun! Last night Animal Gabe and I went shooting at an indoor range. It was the first time I had fired a gun. At first the sounds were really unnerving, the guys next to us were firing a 12 gauge shotgun, so it was really loud. I just stood and watched them cut the target in half. Freaky! We shot the whimpy gun first, a .22 Ruger. It was fun and really accurate (I like to feel like I can aim) and made little pop sounds. The second gun was a Sig 9mm. It seemed light for it's size and less accurate (harder to aim). Gabe said it was similar to ones cops use, and he was obsessed with it because he saw it on a tv show. 

So much fun! Thursdays are Ladies Night, apparently, but I was the only lady in sight! What the hell is wrong with people? Don't they know this is where the fun is? Best non-alcoholic night I've had in ages. 

Malkmus ist RAD! Last night I saw Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks perform at Amoeba Records. Awesome show. While he's not the most enthusiastic of entertainers, somehow all eyes are glued on him. Janet Weiss rocked drums. The new album is good, too. 

 

My cellphone takes shitty pictures.

Today I had a leisurely day biking around Golden Gate Park, sunbathing, and gazing and pictures of shit at the Gilbert and George exhibit at the De Young Museum.
There's also some weird-ass sculpture in the park. Why does public art have to be so assy?

Better late than never? The day before valentines day I went to the east bay with a special someone and rediscovered the pleasures of Bakesale Bettie's. OMG I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! We had a fried chicken sandwich and they gave us free Italian lemon ices to drink and cookies while we waited. DAMN!

what is it with all the drama lately, i mean, really, is something in retrograde? i don't usually go in for all that stuff but now i'm beginning to wonder.
there's a drunk girl in my bathtub.

maybe i should just lift all of my posts from sfist. they've been so funny lately.

So there was a big pro-choice (roe v. wade anniversary) and anti-choice rally today at Justin Herman and the Embarcadero. I didn't get to go, but I found this pic of one of my regular customers. Great outfit! Way to go! If I knew it was going to be so fun, I would have taken the day off! Apparently thousands of pro-lifers were bussed in from all over. Well that's just great. More of what California doesn't need. Assholes and smog.

I said good-bye to my car last week. The Luneymobile is gone forever. R.I.P. Luneymobile.

still life in my kitchen. meat, pomegranate, wine, and salad dressing.

My new favorite thing to do is watch the in store videos from Amoeba's website. check out the MIA: http://www.amoeba.com/video-player/mia.html

Last Wednesday was Pizza Night: Redoux. For the second week in a row my housemate Joe and myself made some of the best pizza in town. Delfina eat your heart out. #1 with watercress, mozzarella, parsley.
#2 roasted fennel, potatoes, sundried tomatoes, capers etc.
#3 mushrooms, onions, etc.
#4 Michael can't wait. Xtra thin crust. like a cracker.
#5 The favorite. Everything that was leftover.

Thanksgiving at home was great. Very little family to deal with. parents and friends. very nice. a delicious adventure.

the turkey was brined and the mashed potatoes were truffled. tofu, green beans, brussle sprouts, sweet potatoes, corn sticks!!!, another apple pie.
the chef passed out.

this was definately my best apple pie ever. looks a little toasty, but oh so tasty.
why can't all apple pies be this good?

more new paintings: the storm; my feet, mission st., alexis' feet, and where you've been hiding.

new paintings: thomas gone wild (top) and alexis.

from my seat at the boss.

the boss. so rad. so hot. he's about 60 and he still rocks. i had shitty seats but it didn't really matter. i saw it as my only opportunity to see him. the only bad part: that new album. it'd be ok if i never hear the song "radio nowhere" ever again. he rocked for 2 1/2 hours.

hotmail is so lame. omg. they changed their system and have problems and now i can't send sign into my account. lame. good news: open studios is this weekend! i'm totally unprepared but that's ok. friday, saturday and sunday. mission and 17th. 6-9pm.
