MIMOSAS FOR ONE

But know I'm all like: !!HEY IT'S VINCENT FUCKING PRICE!! kickass

the wind is picking up. my steps like floating. the direction is firmly aimed north. for the first time I feel the change. my resistance has lifted, and now I will fly the coop. destiny in flight feels so much different than I thought. my wingspan is wider and my stride is smooth. sure of my direction even without a map. I am both scared and excited, and now I will fly the coop.

My mother will always be my hero, and as far from someone like Roseanne Conner as one could be. Motherhood is a tough job and it takes all kinds. I feel there are many forms of right when you are a mom. Today I would like to tip my hat to Roseanne. She may be unconventional (and yes I know fictional), but she was honest, funny, and loved and sacrificed for her family. A trailblazer with a real point of view, she often expressed her opinion, solicited or not. Her relationship with her husband was a true parntership that weathered its set of storms. She may not be real, but she is based on a real woman who I suspect took more than a few of her personal life experiences and directly applied them for sitcom fodder. So here is to you, Roseanne.

in september of this year, the San Francisco 49ers will play their last season at Candlestick Park. Most people who have grown up in the bay area and have become local sports fans by default like myself, have been to "the stick" at least once in their lives. After the Giants moved to ATT park at the beginning of the 2000 season, it has felt like the longest countdown to demolition ever. Finally 13 years and countless "will they/ won't they" debates, the 49ers will in fact leave San Francisco. Thankfully, it's not for another part of the country. Only 45ish miles south. Right near their training facility in Santa Clara. I'm sure it will be knocked down to make way for more housing in our already overcrowded city by the bay. To help me remember it fondly, like any good silicon valley kid, I did a google image search. Here are some my favorite images I found: I will miss "the stick" a lot, but I understand the need for the 49ers to have a ...

When I find something that blows my mind, I tell everyone who will listen, and far too many people that don't about it's greatness. Today's (literally) hot find comes to us from City of Palo Alto Firefighter, Lee Taylor. The peppers that he grows in the firestation backyard made this hotsauce bicycle kick my tastebuds into next week. Not for people sensitive to spicy and bold flavors, I have become addicted after just two brief encounters. Now I know they sell it at Philz's coffee on Middlefield Road in Midtown PA, so I will most likely be picking up a bottle sometime in the near future. Plus, the proceeds beneift a good cause!! I'm in love! *le sigh*

If I had a quarter for every time over the years have I heard this come out of my mother's mouth, I would be able to ride the muni around San Francisco for at least a year. My mother doesn't say this to be derogatory. She loved my father unconditionally, but they were very different as far as their philosophies when it came to things like money, life ambitions, and looking out for one's physical well-being, ie, getting enough rest, making sure to put on sunscreen before going out in the sun, etc. I will admit that it has been hard for me to feel a connection with my Dad's side of the family. We would visit more frequently when I was little. I would say at least once a month on a Sunday, we would pack up for the day and head north up through San Francisco. Down 19th avenue, across the Golden Gate Bridge for what seemed like forever. Perhaps the 49er game was on the radio as we made our way to Marin County. We referred to my dad's parents as Nana and Abe. I'm not...

Yesterday I learned that one of the most kind and unique individuals I have ever met had passed onto the next realm. Phil Herz, aka cy thoth was a man that meant a lot, not only to the people he knew personally, but the people who he reached because of his weekly show on kfjc , and because of the art of the firebunker . Every time I saw Phil he greeted me warmly. I shared the same name as one of his sisters, so he took to calling me by the nickname he used for her, which just so happened to be the exact same nickname my family has given me. I've had several nicknames bestowed upon me over the years, but that one brought a certain feeling of comfort and familiarity with it, so I loved that he started referring to me that way. I wasn't the only person he treated like this. Quite the contrary, he was this way with nearly everyone that crossed his path. It has been a little over 24 hours since the news hit, and many stories have been shared. The people that were closer to hi...

This song has been stuck in my head all weekend. As I watched Almost Famous over the weekend, I was struck by how incandescent Kate Hudson is during the scene where Penny Lane is "introduced" to Russell by William. She as an actress and person just gives you so much in that one moment. No words. Just her look, her smile, and how she responds to Russell touching her face. She really does give an awesome performance in that film, and the choice to use the song as the background to their introduction is a great cinematic moment.

I love her. She is my spirit animal. Last night as we picnicked on her living room floor, my best friend and I were watching Beetlejuice: she started giggling uncontrollably after this scene happened. "That is you!!! That is sooooo you!! You would totally do that! I howled in agreement.
