There was a fluff piece on the Today show last week that I watched while eating toast before work.

The seminar yesterday was fun and difficult. It was hard to maintain energy for five hours in the heat of the dojo, which is out in the hottest part of the City. Today I have a couple of bruises, soreness, and so on. But it’s not too bad, and worth it to me. In the […]

We trained in the dark on a tennis court, surrounded by stars, nearby streetlights, and mosquitoes. On the northern horizon, heat lightning flashed in the sky and boomed […]

Tonight’s ninja class: swords and weapons. Fun! The weather where I live: hot, clear, bright. I went to the Ferry Building Farmer’s Market today on my lunch break and bought marigolds. They remind me of “Monsoon Wedding.” I also wandered around Sur La Table in a daze. I wish I had a kitchen of my […]

Ok everyone knows that local tv news broadcasts are about 98% sensationalist garbage and ratings-driven filler. Which is why I don’t watch them.

There’s a giant green cricket on the wall in my kitchen, right above the refrigerator. I dare not do anything about it. I hope it somehow makes its presence known to the cats. I feel down today. I felt out of it yesterday, too. No reason really. I mean, perhaps there is a reason; the […]
